    Blue Jay Solutions @ Plantworx with Mini Marquees

    We were proud to support Blue Jay Solutions at this year’s Plantworx exhibition in Newark — one of the UK’s leading construction equipment shows, featuring live demonstrations of the latest plant machinery, tools, and industry innovations.

    For their stand, we supplied and customised our rental units:

    • 6.0m x 3.0m Maxi Range Mini Marquee
    • 3.0m x 3.0m Maxi Range Mini Marquee

    To make the stand stand out, we added:

    • A 9.0m x 60cm banner
    • A fully digitally printed 3.0m Maxi side panel
    • A 6.0m x 220cm backdrop

    This set-up gave Blue Jay Solutions a professional, branded space to showcase their services at one of the construction industry’s most important live events.

    Mini Marquees × DeWalt: A Legacy Reimagined

    Celebrating 20 Years and Beyond

    Since their partnership began in 2005 at a trade show that sparked a shared vision, Mini Marquees and DeWalt have forged a relationship built on trust, excellence, and agility. Over the years, the Mini Marquees team—now under Lee and Keaton—has carried forward the founder Mark’s legacy with unwavering dedication to quality and reliability.

    Why This Matters

    For more than 25 years, our partnership with DeWalt has been about trust and consistency. Today, that heritage evolves into modern design and performance. The Maxi Range offers enhanced branding, standing power, and an unmistakable presence. Led by Lee and Keaton in Mansfield, Nottingham, we continue to build on Mark’s vision with craftsmanship and innovation.

    Designed in Nottingham, with Pride

    Crafted at our HQ in Mansfield, Nottingham, the latest marquee blends heritage with a bold, refreshed style. With valuable input from Kevin Ingham, this new look is as practical as it is eye-catching, designed to stand tall in any trade or event environment.

  • Mini Marquees X Southwell Bowls Club

    Mini Marquees X Southwell Bowls Club

    Fantastic Review from our friend at Southwell Bowls Club! – Thank you for your kind words Peter.

    We used our gazebos from Mini-Marquees for the first time for our open bowls tournament on July 6th. Lee, from the company, very kindly came out to help us put them up.

    Despite having shown us the ropes several weeks before. His extra tips were invaluable. During the day we had several heavy downpours and the gazebos proved to be completely watertight.

    The gutter connection between the two ensured we remained snug and dry beneath, unlike our previous inferior ones where water would pour down the gap. They are clearly more robust than any previous ones we have tried and we have every confidence that they will survive strong winds, should they occur on future occasions.
