What Space Group does

Space Group, legally Space Catering (UK) Ltd., is a Gloucester-based UK design and build contractor specialising in foodservice facilities. The firm was established in 2000, operates as a subsidiary of Nisbets Ltd (the UK's largest catering equipment supplier), and serves enterprise and mid-market clients across at least nine verticals including Business & Industry, Education, Hotels & Leisure, Restaurants & Cafes, Garden Centres, Public Sector, Pub Retail, Contract Caterers, and the Care Sector. Headcount is reported at approximately 100 across three UK sites: a Gloucester head office and manufacturing facility, a York office, and a Bristol permanent exhibition centre and development kitchen.

The firm delivers six interconnected service modules — Design Consultancy, Interior Design & Build, Contract Furniture, Bespoke Manufacturing, Equipment Supply & Install, and Service & Maintenance — providing turnkey project delivery from conceptual design through manufacturing, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Underlying capability is centred on in-house design teams producing concept plans, technical drawings, elevations, visualisations, and interiors, supported by a state-of-the-art in-house manufacturing facility for bespoke counters, servery units, and specialty fixtures. A sub-brand, Space Interior Contracts, extends scope into flooring, wall cladding, ceiling tiles, partitioning, tiling, and hygienic cladding.

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model: each engagement is custom-quoted based on client scope, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement with decision-makers, supported by a website portfolio, project case studies, and an organic social presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.
