A leading UK based events production agency, tasked with delivering a high-profile event involving multiple stakeholders and presented a series of challenges, including tight build timings, difficult site access, and the need for a complex design and build solution. They therefore turn to us at Meridian year on year to provide the marquee and associated infrastructure.

The event was scheduled to take place at a unique listed home counties location with restricted access, making the delivery and setup of the marquee a logistical challenge. The project timeline was exceptionally tight, leaving little room for delays. Additionally, the design of the marquee had to accommodate a range of technical specifications and aesthetic requirements set forth by the client and other agencies involved in the event.

The complexity was further compounded by the need to coordinate with multiple agencies, including event planners, audiovisual teams, and caterers, each with their own specific requirements and schedules.

We worked closely with the events production agency and other stakeholders to develop a comprehensive solution that addressed all aspects of the project. This included early and detailed planning sessions with all involved parties to ensure alignment on the project’s objectives and timelines. This collaboration was crucial in identifying potential challenges and mitigating risks.

Our design team created a custom marquee that met the specific aesthetic and functional needs of the event. This included integrating features to support complex lighting, sound, and staging setups while maintaining the visual appeal of the structure.

To overcome the challenges of limited site access, we scheduled deliveries during off-peak hours and utilised specialised equipment to transport and install the marquee safely to the site. Our team was on hand to manage these operations, ensuring smooth progress despite the constraints.

With the tight timeline in mind, our experienced crew executed the build efficiently, working in close coordination with other agencies on-site. We maintained flexibility to adapt to any last-minute changes without compromising on quality or safety. The build was completed on time, allowing the client ample opportunity for final preparations before the event.

The successful delivery of the marquee played a pivotal role in the overall success of the event. The events production agency and their client were extremely satisfied with the outcome, noting the high quality of the marquee and the professionalism displayed throughout the project.
