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

🏠 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

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.

Towards the end of the year, we had the pleasure of supporting a high-profile fashion shoot for a major international designer 👗

With the dramatic backdrop of a castle and the Welsh coastline, we provided:

⛺ Two 9x12m marquees on grass
💡 Flooring, lighting, heaters (a winter must!), and partitioning

🎬 These spaces ensured the production team stayed warm, comfortable, and efficient throughout the project. It’s always exciting to see how our marquees can adapt to such creative settings—whether it’s supporting a film crew, fashion team, or event production.

A stylish way to finish off 2024!

🏫 New year, new term, it's back to school this week.

One of our key focuses this year will be on helping schools, colleges, universities with their space challenges.

Whether it’s for additional classrooms, staff areas, breakout spaces, or even sports facilities, the need for flexible, adaptable solutions has never been greater.

From curriculum expansions to emergency repairs and vocational training needs, space demands often arise unexpectedly. That’s where we come in.

Our long-term hire temporary structures provide:
✅ Fully insulated, weatherproof classrooms and vocational spaces
✅ Exhibition areas for student assessments and displays
✅ Gym and sports facilities for modern curriculum needs

Best of all, our solutions can be installed quickly, tailored to your needs, and cost far less than permanent extensions. We’ve worked with institutions like LSEC Bromley and University of Arts London to meet these challenges head-on.

We've been doing a bit of a review of our year and wow once again we've had some brilliant and interesting projects to work on with new and familiar clients.

✨ Breaking new ground at the at Evolution London, where we provided a 20m framework marquee for breakout spaces at this major industry event.

✨ Marylebone Music Festival: A summer tradition we’re proud to support, transforming Manchester Square Garden into a stunning covered concert venue for four days of music and magic.

✨ Supporting schools like Valentines High School, where our long-term temporary structure has provided a multi-purpose space for assemblies, sports, and events during construction.

✨ Celebrating graduates at Southampton Solent University—always a joy to contribute to such a milestone moment.

✨ The Bacchus Half Marathon at Denbies Wine Estate, blending running, wine, and celebration with a little marquee magic.

✨ Fashion meets functionality: Providing warm, flexible spaces for a breathtaking fashion shoot against the Welsh coastline—a perfect way to close the year.

These projects reflect what we value most: providing versatile, creative, and reliable space solutions that help our clients’ visions come to life.

Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited for what’s to come—schools, festivals, and big celebrations are already on the calendar, and there’s always room for more. If you’re planning a project or need additional space, we’d love to hear from you 😊 ✨

Over the past year, we’ve made significant strides in transforming our operations, rethinking our industry’s norms, and prioritising sustainability, wellbeing, and responsibility at every level.

Here are just a few highlights of what we’ve achieved:

✅ Reduced 348kg of CO2 emissions by switching to LED lighting across our facilities.
✅ Launched a comprehensive employee benefits programme, including life insurance, income protection, and wellbeing resources.
✅ Partnered with Surrey mental health charity Oakleaf to deliver workshops and team support.
✅ Reduced waste through rainwater harvesting, equipment refurbishment, and e-waste recycling.
✅ Expanded our electric vehicle usage, with a goal of a fully electric fleet by 2030.
✅ Offered clients sustainable alternatives to traditional temporary spaces, helping them make eco-conscious choices.

In 2023, we also became B Corp certified, a milestone that reinforced our commitment to sustainability and challenged us to raise the bar even higher.

In November, we were honoured to be finalists in the ESG Champion category at the Surrey Business Awards. Although we didn’t win, the shortlisting reaffirmed that the changes we’re making—big and small—are creating meaningful impact.

This recognition along the way reminds us we’re moving in the right direction.
Here’s to setting new standards of responsibility in the events and temporary space industry 🙌
