PALMBROKERS

Palmbrokers is a greens company supplying, making and dressing natural scenery and props for film and television across the UK and internationally. 

The Palmbrokers seed was sown in 1986 when the founders of the business put palm trees into skips to transform London’s Becton Gas Works into Vietnam for Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. That seed has grown and continues to evolve as an exciting and agile resource of greens crew, stock, services and advice with passion at the heart of every job. We are as happy having a chat about an early concept or idea as we are dressing and fine-tuning foliage on set or landscaping 10,000 tonnes of sand into a desert. 

Palmbrokers operates from an 18-acre site in Farnham Royal, Berkshire with a further two-acre site in Surrey. Our business model is inherently sustainable. As an Albert-accredited supplier, we service our work from our extensive stock of indigenous, tropical and temperate plants and trees, artificial flowers, cut forestry, foliage, landscaping materials and props; all of which we rent and return to base for care and maintenance before re-use wherever possible. In addition to outside space, we have over 20,000 square feet of tropical glasshouses and 28,000 square feet of poly tunnels. A substantial area of our site is dedicated to rewilding, allowing us to plant up and retire stock that has earned its keep. 

Our team of experienced greenspeople, set-dressers, artists, florists, horticulturalists and office staff is supplemented by an established and proven base of skilled freelancers and specialists to meet our own high standards and the rigorous demands of the clients we serve.

We manage our own growing facilities and have extensive workshop space for our artists and craftspeople to design and build bespoke commissions, including artificial tree construction; natural sculptures and structures; and moulding and casting of natural landscape elements. We source anything we don’t have through strong and established relationships with suppliers locally, nationally and internationally. 

We also maintain our own fleet of specialist HGV, LGV and landscaping plant and machinery.

Our site is open Monday to Friday from 7am until 4.30pm and outside those hours by appointment. 

Please pop in and see us at any time or give us a ring on 01753 643359.
