“You can have any colour as long as it’s black”, said Henry Ford, quite famously. Of course, the motor industry has come a long way since then but there is an interesting parallel between this early 20th century approach to automobiles and Hire Cabinets for exhibitions.

Unless, of course, you've hired the premium range Black or White Hire Cabinets from Showfront!
