BCorp month may well be coming to an end but we’re just getting started.

Becoming a B Corp has pushed us to hold ourselves accountable, rethink the way we operate, and lead by example.

We’ve always believed in delivering high-quality, adaptable, and sustainable temporary structures. But we knew we could go further.

That’s why we’ve committed to:
🌍 Reducing our environmental impact – switching to LED lighting, monitoring energy use, expanding EV travel, and tracking e-waste
👷 Investing in our people – introducing life insurance, income protection, wellbeing programmes, and financial coaching
🏘️ Challenging our industry to do better – educating clients on sustainable choices and embedding ESG into our business model

If you’re part of the B Corp community, we’d love to hear what inspired you to take the leap?

When a client needs additional space, they often default to solutions like portacabins or shipping containers.

But we challenge them to think differently.

Our temporary structures are:
🚛 Less transport-heavy, reducing emissions with on-site setup
♻️ Modular & adaptable, cutting waste and increasing longevity
⚡ Energy-efficient, designed with LED lighting & smart energy solutions

It’s not just about providing a structure—it’s about rethinking how we expand spaces in a way that protects our planet.

Let’s start a conversation about better solutions.

Construction projects are constantly evolving. With hundreds of workers on-site at any given time, one big question often gets overlooked—where do they go for breaks, to eat, or to change?

We work with construction companies, developers, and contractors to provide canteens, changing rooms, offices, and storage spaces that flex and move with your project.

🌦️ Shelter from the elements – No more battling wind, rain, or the scorching summer sun.
🫖 Canteens with solid flooring – Comfortable spaces to sit, eat, and chat.
🦺 Changing rooms – Somewhere dry and clean to switch out of work gear before heading home.
🔧 Secure storage & offices – Keeping tools safe, materials dry, and management teams on-site.

The best part? Marquees move as your site evolves. Unlike fixed alternatives that require cranes and logistical headaches, we can relocate and resize your structures quickly and efficiently.

If you’re gearing up for a new project or just want to improve conditions for your teams, let’s chat about how a marquee could be the simple, flexible solution you need.

Business should be about more than just profit—it should be a force for good.

That’s why we became a B Corp. For us, it’s not just a certification—it’s a commitment to doing business better.

This B Corp Month, we’re reflecting on what that means:
🌱 Embedding sustainability into everything we do
🤝 Supporting people, communities, and ethical business practices
⚡ Helping our clients make greener choices without compromising on quality

Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s the future. We’re proud to be part of a global movement driving real impact.

If you're curious about what it means to work with a B Corp-certified company, let’s chat.

One of the most common questions we get is “How early should I book my marquee?”

The answer? As soon as you have your date.

✅ Early booking = more choice. Secure the marquee, décor, and furnishings you love before peak season rush.
✅ Peak months fill up fast. April–September and the festive season are in high demand—booking 6–12 months in advance is ideal.
✅ We can set up in 48 hours. Need a last-minute marquee? We’ve got you covered, but early planning ensures you get exactly what you want.

💡 Where to start?
📏 Try our Marquee Calculator to estimate costs
📋 Have a rough guest list ready
📍 Consider your ideal location (but don’t worry—we can help if you don’t have one!)
🔌 Think about extras like lighting, heating, and furniture

Once you have the basics, our team will guide you through layout options, catering setup, stage or dance floor needs, and all the finishing touches. Plus, we’ll arrange a site visit to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Marquees offer unmatched flexibility to create a truly bespoke event.

We became a Certified B Corporation™ in 2023.

We set out to do things differently.

Our industry has traditionally been asset-heavy and single-use focused, but we saw an opportunity to reinvent how temporary structures can be more sustainable, adaptable, and responsible.

Over the last 12 months, we’ve:
🌍 Cut CO2 emissions by switching to LED lighting across all operations
💡 Installed smart meters and set ambitious energy reduction targets
🏠 Started rainwater harvesting to reduce water waste
👷‍ Invested in our people, introducing life insurance, income protection, and wellbeing support

Being a B Corp isn’t just about certification—it’s about action. And we’re just getting started.

03/03/2025

We believe business should be a force for good. That’s why we’re proud to be a Certified B Corporation™, meeting the highest standards of social and environmental impact.

By joining forces with 2,500+ B Corps in the UK and over 9,000 globally, we’re part of the movement, proving that businesses can be both profitable and purpose-driven.

From reducing waste on-site to supporting local communities, we’re committed to raising the bar for responsible business. is the perfect time to reflect on what we've achieved—and what’s next.

When Valentines High School in Ilford, Essex, faced construction work on their sports hall, they needed a safe, secure, and warm temporary space—fast.

With 240 students to accommodate, the pressure was on to find a solution that wouldn’t disrupt school life.

We installed a 12m x 21m temporary structure in just 3 days, complete with...
🏠 Solid walls, doors & glass windows for a secure, permanent feel
💡 LED lighting & vinyl flooring for a bright, comfortable space
🌡️ Electric heating with switchboard for year-round usability
🔐 Full security setup to ensure student safety

The Results?

🌦️ Completely weatherproof & reliable
🔒 Monthly safety checks for peace of mind
🏀 Essential school activities continued without disruption

Could your school benefit from additional space?

We’re often approached by our construction clients looking to create additional space when traditional solutions like portacabins are unavailable or unsuitable for their site requirements.

This prompted us to compare the two options.

✅ Speed to Site: Portacabins can take 5–10 days to deliver; our marquees can be installed next day.
✅ Flexibility: Marquees fit tricky spaces (even rooftops or narrow corridors), while portacabins require HGV access and stable ground.
✅ Adaptability: Need to expand? Marquees are modular and easy to adjust. Portacabins? Not so much.
✅ Lower Carbon Footprint: Transit van vs. HGV—marquees are the greener choice.

Both options can create safe spaces, but for speed, sustainability, and flexibility, marquees come out on top.

Marquees are a fantastic solution for temporary space – they’re quick to install, easy to remove, and have a low environmental impact. But if you’re considering buying a marquee instead of hiring one, you may want to think again.

In our latest blog, we break down the 6 key reasons why hiring a marquee often makes more sense than buying.

Hiring isn’t just cost-effective – it’s stress-free, flexible, and ensures you always get a well-maintained, high-quality structure.

Do you need a comfortable space in a challenging location?

How about a marquee 100ft up...!

The scene - two balconies of an eighth floor apartment in Shad Thames with limited access to lift facilities and a lovely spiral staircase.

We were commissioned to design and deliver an elegant dining area for 50 guests, an inside music and dancing space and an outside chill out marquee.

Simple 😀

📚 The needs of educational institutions are constantly changing—shouldn’t your spaces evolve too?

Temporary structures offer a modern, versatile alternative to traditional building projects. They’re:
✅ Highly flexible, with options for classrooms, gyms, exhibitions, or admin space
✅ Cost-effective, saving your budget for what matters most
✅ Installed quickly—often without requiring lengthy planning permission

Unlike permanent extensions, which can take years to plan, approve, and build, our structures can be up and running in a matter of days.

Whether you’re responding to a short-term need or planning for long-term growth, discover why more schools are turning to marquees and temporary structures for their space needs.

🔨 Practical skills need practical spaces. As vocational subjects grow in popularity, many schools and colleges are finding that their existing classrooms simply aren’t suitable for hands-on training.

Subjects like bricklaying, fashion, and art require specialised environments—whether it’s to accommodate heavy-duty equipment or display student work for grading. This is where we step in.

Our temporary structures are perfect for:
✅ Providing safe, purpose-built spaces for practical learning
✅ Creating short-term exhibition areas to showcase student projects
✅ Expanding facilities for courses that can’t be housed in traditional classrooms

For example, we supported London South East Colleges Bromley by creating a marquee that allowed students to practice bricklaying—a vital skill for their chosen careers.

Whatever your needs, we provide adaptable solutions that help vocational subjects thrive.
