So you can imagine how pleased we have been to start and get visits from reps again from our favourite brands and supplier – and a couple of weeks ago a... Read More

Summer Seems To Have Finally Arrived

As we are now one week in to June 2021 there is no doubt that our industry has so much crosssed for next Monday when Boris will tell us if the so called “Freedom Day” will take place on 21st June 2021. Over the past few weeks it has been really exciting to get our Hartlepool showroom re-open and speak to local customers, with some of them already working and it is encouraging to hear the positive vibe amongst how busy the phones and enquiries/bookings are for our customers.

Event Planning 101: Preparing for Life After Coronavirus

If you’re an event planner, chances are your entire working life is on hold right now. Venues across the country have closed their doors, and even if they were still open, Boris has put the brakes on any of us actually leaving our homes for anything but the bare necessities.  We know things look pretty bleak, and we’re not going to tell you to stay positive and keep your chin up – because frankly, sometimes that just isn’t helpful. What we are going to do is provide you with a... Read More

However, no one was really talking about this product before the show and then you could see crowds of people gathering to see it working on the Chauvet stand at BPM.... Read More
