Thank you for checking in. The service you provided was absolutely faultless, and I have already recommended you to a few other people. I hope they’ve contacted you?
From pick up to collection, and any request I had was met with complete and utter helpfulness. The delivery driver was a very nice helpful man and delivery and pick up was very prompt!

During this time, South West Event Hire have always provided a personal and professional service… including assisting with countless last minute changes or bizarre requests from us! We are very grateful for the vital role they play within the events industry – they are unsung heroes”

I just wanted to drop a line to thank you so much for your service in provision, drop off and collection of all the things we needed to hire from you to make the occasion work. I know it was a tight turnaround for you to deliver but it was absolutely brilliant that you dropped off the stuff ar 10am, just as we arrived to set up. It led to a seamless and very unstressful day as we were able to get everything sorted just as we wished. Your ability to do this was hugely appreciated by us all. Thank you also for your forbearance when we had to change the date 4 times and well done for surviving the whole debacle when I appreciate your business basically disappeared for a year or so! We will definitely recommend your service and commitment if asked!
