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.

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.

Unlocking New Heights with Maxi Range Mini Marquees 3.0 × 2.0

This year, we’re thrilled to introduce a fresh chapter in that legacy: the Maxi Range Mini Marquee 3.0 × 2.0, featuring bold updates designed to maximise presence at events.

• Striking DeWalt colours — screen-printed in the distinctive black & yellow palette
• Bold chevron graphics — for extra visibility and visual impact
• Maxi Valances — delivering an added 60 cm of branded display space
• 220 cm clearance height — ensuring your stand is the tallest in the room

Black & yellow. Chevrons. Maxi Valances.
A heritage refreshed — built to stand out.

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.

Ready to Make Your Stand Tall and Bold?

With over two decades of collaboration under our belt, the Mini Marquees × DeWalt story continues to evolve. The Maxi Range Mini Marquee 3.0 × 2.0 is more than a product — it’s a symbol of legacy, quality, and being seen.

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.

When iconic brands need to stand out at events, they turn to premium solutions. That’s why DEFENDER partnered with Mini Marquees to deliver high-impact, fully branded event marquees that reflect their rugged reputation and strong visual identity.

Defender’s Custom Marquee Setup:

The Backbone of Performance

At the Dakar Rally, every second counts, and every piece of equipment plays a vital role. Maxi Range Mini Marquees are more than just temporary structures—they are the backbone of race team operations, offering a dependable foundation for success in the toughest environments.

We are pleased to announce that Trailfinders has recently acquired three marquees from our Maxi Range:

• One 6.0m x 3.0m marquee
• Two 3.0m x 4.5m marquees

These selections are designed to provide enhanced durability and ample branding space, aligning perfectly with Trailfinders’ promotional needs.

The Maxi Range, introduced in 2010, features thicker legs, stronger bars, increased clearance, and deeper valances, offering more space for brand exposure. The frame’s outer leg section measures 63mm x 56mm x 2mm, making it one of the sturdiest options available globally.

To ensure vibrant and long-lasting branding, Trailfinders opted for traditional screen printing on their marquees. This method provides exceptional clarity and durability, ensuring their brand stands out at every event. As Shown in the Video Above!

We are proud to support Trailfinders in their promotional endeavors and are confident that these marquees will serve them effectively in various events and activities. Check out the Timelapse below of our testing team, ensuring the new Maxi Range Mini Marquees are all in working order!
