OUR ROOTS

It all started with a palm tree. Somebody wanted to hire a palm tree.

Theme Traders started in 1987 when its founders David Jamilly and Kim Einhorn were working as clown entertainers at children’s parties. Wondering how to make or where to buy a simple palm tree set the prop hire business rolling forward with full velocity.

Within a few years they had built up over ten thousand props which they stored in lock-up garages dotted around North London, and a few years later, they expanded to vast warehouses to store the still ever-increasing inventory.

From early origins, the company strived to be the value driven organisation that it is today. Theme Traders has proudly been the main supporter of the amazing Pod Children’s Charity which organises 3000 free entertainer shows per year, in all children’s hospitals across the country.

Theme Traders has also been a key supporter of the events industry as a whole and has offered lectures and educational visits since 1990 to all the main universities in the sector.

Always on the search for fresh ideas and opportunities, Theme Traders has managed to maintain pole position ahead the marketplace and weather the socio-economic storms.
They currently operate from a unique creative production village in North London which houses both workshop and studio spaces. These spaces are also available for hire as locations to the television, film and photographic industries.
