About Us

Bisley Marquees & Hire Company (Bisley Leisure Hire Ltd) was founded in 1997 in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Since then, the company has grown in size, knowledge, and expertise. We have enjoyed supplying many families, businesses and celebrities with first-class marquees, furniture hire, toilets, refrigerated trailers and showers.

The Company Directors

Caroline and David Ashmead set up Bisley Marquees & Hire Company in 1997, and were joined by their son Chris in 2008.

Caroline manages the day to day running of the business admin and Office Team, from overseeing events to keeping the company’s accounts in order. From time to time Caroline may also been found delivering trailer units.

David heads up the toilet, fridge, generator and shower unit delivery team. When David isn't out on site making deliveries with his dog Florrie, he can be found maintaining our hire equipment, manufacturing bespoke hire items, or building and refurbishing our luxury toilet hire units.

Chris leads the Marquee Team, working out the logistics for transporting equipment to site, allocating the most appropriate team to each build and overseeing our warehouse. If Chris isn't out on site with the Marquee Team, he is carrying out site visits or driving one of our Bisley lorries.
