Blast Event Hire is delighted to announce the acquisition of Richardson Event Hire, formally known as Cotswold Event Hire.
Based in the heart of the Cotswolds, Richardson Event Hire (REH), has established a fantastic reputation over the past 13 years for its premium quality tableware, furniture, equipment and the level of service it offers each and every one of its clients.
Josh Hignell, Director of Blast Event Hire, is excited to take this next step as part of an exciting growth and development strategy. A neighbouring delivery radius, similar stock inventory and shared set of values has made the acquisition a logical step for Blast. Blast have been looking to expand its Bristol based operation further north throughout The Cotswolds, encompassing some of the finest venues The Cotswolds has to offer, for some time.
This is a fantastic opportunity to increase the range of products Blast offers, not only to its existing clients but also to numerous new caterers, venue’s and individuals throughout the region.
We would like to assure both BEH & REH current customers there will be no change to the high level of service, product offering or transport logistics that they enjoy currently. The only notable difference they will see is an increased stock level and the introduction of some exciting new ranges and products.
Isla and Steve from REH will be on hand for a while to ensure a smooth transition for their customers. “We are absolutely delighted that Blast Event Hire will be taking REH on the next stage of its journey. Josh is full of energy and enthusiasm and will undoubtedly continue to drive the business forward with new products and innovations. Steve and I would like to say a huge thank you to all our customers, staff and suppliers for working with us over the last few years. It’s time for us to head back to Colchester, but we’re confident that our customers will be in safe hands with Josh and the Blast team, and we wish them every success in the future.”
