Why I Went Into The Marquee Hire Industry

 

Why Marquee Hire?

One of the questions I usually get from friends when I go out is, “Why the marquee hire in London industry, Ben?”

It didn’t really bother me much but I gave it some thought and it made me realize that I didn’t have a direct answer to that question.  I mean if you asked me point blank, I would probably pause for a good 5 to 10 seconds before I can give you a sensible answer.

So why the marquee hire business again?

 

The Need For Creativity

The first thing that comes to mind is the beauty of the marquees we build.  That (the marquee), combined with the equipment, the lighting, and the flooring we use, it’s just a thing of beauty but it doesn’t come easy because there needs to be creativity and hard work before we can achieve those so that’s probably one of the things that made me fall in love with the marquee hire industry.

 

The Amount Of Work

Second is the amount of work that comes with holding an event from the ocular to getting our hands dirty erecting the poles and plotting the floor until the time when we have to pack it all up, it’s just magic.  Seeing things getting built from virtually nothing, seeing the amount of work me and my staff put into it, it makes it all worth it seeing the finished product.

 

The People

Lastly, I think it’s the relationships we build that keeps me excited.  Talking to people, setting expectations, seeing the smiles in everyone’s faces after a fruitful and successful event.  Who wouldn’t want to work in this kind of business?  A simple “thank you” is already music to my ears but when you get told that they loved your marquee hire services and that they would like to work with you again and recommend you to their friends, it just makes me want to become even better at what I do.

The marquee hire industry is at its peak especially here in the UK and the competition is as stiff as it gets and that’s good.  It’s healthy because it brings out the best in people and every time this happens, its the customers who always come out the winner because they’ll be getting the best marquee hire service provider in London from the people/company they hire.

So why did I get into the marquee business again?  It’s all of the above.
