Environmental Street Furniture Expands Into the World of Intellectual Property With New Licensing Partnerships
Environmental Street Furniture (ESF), a proud member of BALPPA, is excited to announce a significant new chapter in its growth as the company expands into the world of licensed Intellectual Property. Building on its reputation as a global supplier of high-quality themed, decorative, and functional outdoor furniture, ESF has secured new partnerships with beloved family brands “The Wombles” and “The Weatherbies,” with additional high-profile IP currently in negotiation.
These collaborations will see ESF incorporate much-loved characters and storytelling into its innovative product ranges—spanning themed seating, bins, shelters, play features, and immersive outdoor installations. By blending creative IP with practical outdoor environments, ESF aims to support attractions, parks, family entertainment centres, and leisure destinations in enhancing guest engagement through recognisable, story-rich design.
“As the themed attractions industry continues to evolve, destinations are increasingly seeking memorable, character-driven experiences,” said Alan Lowry, CEO of Environmental Street Furniture. “Our move into licensed IP allows us to offer operators a new level of creativity and commercial potential while staying true to the functionality and durability that ESF is known for. Partnering with iconic properties such as The Wombles and The Weatherbies represents an exciting milestone in our expansion.”
With additional licensing discussions underway, ESF’s portfolio of character-led product solutions is set to grow further throughout 2025. These developments underline the company’s long-term commitment to innovation and its expanding role within the themed entertainment and attractions sector.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Strong ESG Values
Alongside its creative expansion, ESF continues to strengthen its reputation as a leader in sustainable outdoor infrastructure. The company places Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles at the core of its operations—prioritising responsible sourcing, reduced environmental impact, and long-term product durability.
