Founded by Clare Harris, Talking Tables, a B Corp and global leader in design-led table and party products, is marking its milestone 25th anniversary this year, aiming for an annual turnover of £25m to match the company’s 25 years.
Since it was founded in 1999, Talking Tables has transformed from a kitchen table start-up into an award-winning global brand under the leadership of Clare.
Winner of a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise last year, Clare also received The Greats Outstanding Achievement Award in 2023 – the highest accolade within the industry – and was last month named among the top 100 UK women in business by E2E and the Independent.
“It’s been a wonderful 25 years,” states Clare. “Bringing people together has always been at the heart of everything I do. Whether that’s socially around a table, or commercially in a meeting room, my aim is to create those magic moments.
“From starting out at my kitchen table and hand-delivering party poppers to becoming a global brand, we’ve always stayed true to our mission of creating products that bring people together and help make celebrations unforgettable.
Talking Tables’ online presence and strategic B2B partnerships have ensured their products reach a global audience, helping to make gatherings and celebrations special across the UK, EU, USA and further afield.
As Talking Tables celebrates this significant anniversary, the company is looking forward to the next 25 years with a steadfast commitment to creativity, quality and sustainability, with ambitious plan to grow the company further still.
