A windy day and a big tent

Posted in: Company

At BSW we offer a 24 hour call out service for all our marquees. But.. in all the years we have been supplying marquees we have only been called out in the middle of night twice.

I estimate we have supplied and constructed over 20,000 marquees in the 40 years we have been in business supplying marquees in Essex, Suffolk, Herts etc. That doesn’t mean all marquees are easy to put up and stay up but we take great pride in getting the job done. See the images below taken a couple of weeks ago in Eastbourne, Sussex where we supplied a 180’ x 40’ traditional marquee for a business event. It was pretty windy, the job took a little longer to complete but we got there in the end.

As BSW Marquees we employ 10 full time permanent staff and an additional regular crew of approx 10 temporary staff in the summer months. This tent took 5 men a day to erect.

This 180’ x 40’ traditional canvas marquee hold can around 1000 people, although if guests are seated etc as at a wedding it is suitable for 500 people. It was on site for a week. It takes approximately half the time to take a marquee down as put it up..

Unlike other marquee companies BSW does not charge extra for insurance. All our quotes include insurance. There no hidden charges. We also do not insist on a deposit before we supply a marquee or frame tent. We are confident you will be more than pleased with our service. If you are looking for a reliable marquee company to supply you with a top quality marquee please get in touch. We can offer advice and a rough idea of costs over the phone or by email.
