The show will go on!

Who – World of Park and Leisure Homes Show

Where – NAEC Exhibition & Trade Centre, Warwickshire

Size – 22 marquees covering 515 sqm

Use – Show / Corporate

As their existing supplier was unable to facilitate a change in dates just 6 weeks before the event, we were contacted to see if we could help. Despite the show falling in peak summer season, with some careful project management we were able to deliver last minute show marquee hire for the full range of required marquees.

Requirements

The World of Park & Leisure Homes is the UK’s leading brand for park & leisure homes. It attracts a diverse audience covering both the trade and public. From the initial phone call the client shared a well prepared specification for the last minute show marquee hire. This detailed their requirements for high quality individual trade stands for show exhibitors. The client required:

7Nr. 3 x 3 clearspan marquees

7Nr. 6 x 6 clearspan marquees

8Nr. 5 x 5 pagoda tents

All with flooring, carpet, and several needing to be fully lined.

Our team rapidly assessed operationally available kit, reviewing the entire branch programme to expedite removal of kit form other events such as Parklife to give enough time to clean, check and transport the marquees to the event.

Solution

The Installation window gave us tight two-day turnaround from a previous event, the efficient removal of kit was key to the success of the delivery. This was expertly project managed, ensuring that we co-ordinated with the removal team so that extra care would be taken to keep the kit clean and to remove the kit in the correct order and to minimise the prep time required to turn the marquees around.

Efficient logistical planning helped this process, all while coordinating with other ongoing contracts and operational teams during the peak summer season.

Specification

During the mobilisation phase, we identified the need to tweak some specifications slightly, such as increasing the size of certain tents to better suit the client’s needs. The client’s specification was comprehensive and included both pagoda marquees and clearspan structures.

The spec included cream pleated ivory linings, ply flooring, and anthracite carpets, creating a uniform and professional aesthetic for exhibitors. The pagodas and clear span tents were designed to provide flexibility and unobstructed interior space.

Despite the challenges posed by the date change and the peak summer season, our meticulous planning, effective project management, and seamless co-ordination and large capacity of kit, ensured the successful delivery. The client’s detailed specifications were met, and the event proceeded with the full range of marquees, providing an excellent platform for exhibitors and attendees.

Feedback:

"After our usual supplier dropped out just 6 weeks ahead of our event, Field and Lawn were able to step in and save the day! Despite the short notice and at a particularly busy time of year, they provided a quality product that was cost effective, well maintained, generally clean and more than met the expectations of our demanding clients. The service they provided on site was exceptional, professional, efficient and well managed. Their crew were fast, polite, followed our instructions fully and most importantly, worked in compliance with H&S rules. This was our first-time using Field and Lawn but it certainly won’t be the last."
