Bisley Marquees & Hire Company are committed to reducing our impact on the environment. We are continuously looking at ways we can run our business more sustainably. A few of the things we are currently doing to minimise our environmental impact are;

  • A purpose built and fully insulated warehouse to store our equipment, reducing the need for heating
  • An inbuilt rainwater harvesting system at our warehouse, enabling us to re-use water and significantly reducing our water consumption as a business
  • Renewable energy is used to power our warehouse and office
  • All equipment is sourced and purchased with the environment in mind, including our marquees which are designed and manufactured by UK based suppliers, and our chosen carpet supplier plants a tree for each roll of carpet purchased
  • All equipment is repaired and repurposed where possible. For example, seat pads are re-covered to reduce waste
  • As much of our waste is recycled as possible by our waste collector, a responsible and locally based service provider
  • Any single use event carpet is recycled after use, turned into pellets by the recycling plant for use as solid renewable fuel
  • Our state-of-the-art industrial PVC washing machine has been designed to prolong the life of our PVC covers. It features in-built water recycling systems and runs on rainwater

As a hire business transportation makes up a significant amount of our carbon footprint. Practical ways that we already reduce our impact are;

  • Using as few vehicles as possible to deliver your marquee. We have a range of lorries (12T to 26T), trailers, 4 x 4 and vans which means that we will use the vehicle most suitable for your booking
  • All vehicles are serviced regularly, lorries receive checks every 6 / 12 weeks to ensure that they are running efficiently
  • An external company regularly checks our vehicles and trailers to ensure all tyres are safe and at the correct pressures, replacing any as necessary
  • Our lorry drivers hold CPC licences, including training on how to drive in the most environmentally friendly manner
  • By being a single source company (we own all of our marquees, toilets, refrigeration, showers, generators and furniture), we are likely to need to make fewer trips than if you had multiple suppliers involved
