It was New Year’s Day 1999. The world was recovering from a great night of fireworks and parties, and somewhere in rural Warwickshire Stuart and Lynn Slaughter were out for a New Year’s Lunch.

We are pleased to announce that we are 1 of 3 companies nationally shortlisted for the SafeHire© Event Equipment Hire Company of the Year 2019 'Hire Awards of Excellence' and the only Midlands based catering equipment hire company.
