About Monaco Marquees
Monaco Marquees was established in 2005 by school friends Matt Lockhart and Paul Rowbottom. After two years in the industry working for other local firms, their vision was to create a marquee hire company that would offer a high quality product with outstanding customer service. To this day, these simple business principles are the foundation for the growth and success of the company.
From humble beginnings in Paul’s garden shed
The company was started off on a very small scale operating from Paul’s garden shed. In 2006 the business moved all of its stock to containers located at a farm in Hersham, Surrey.
After trading for four years from the farm, Matt and Paul made the brave decision to secure their first industrial warehouse in West Molesey near Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey.
The new, larger and more professional premises laid the foundation for soaring growth and development.
From there Monaco Marquees has grown in scale and in location, expanding as far as Dorset where the team have been providing residential and corporate marquees for local businesses and families from the village of Blandford Forum.
New warehouse
In 2016, Monaco Marquees moved again to a larger yet premises which gave them the ability to increase stock levels, improve standard and procedures and employ more staff. The new premises boasts a huge new warehouse area, two offices, a showroom, excellent staff facilities, a training room and secure parking spaces.
Outstanding reputation
Over the last 10 years, Monaco Marquees has built a reputation for delivering outstanding marquees and the team are constantly investing and inventing new ways to improve the high level of customer service.
