Lisa Wyatt Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hi,I am considering expanding my Marquee Hire Business in England to France and I am currently doing some research into the market. From what I can see, there seems to be a limited number of suppliers. Has anyone else tried and failed to find a quality company in France, particularly in Central France (Limousin).ThanksLisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 France is an enormous country and most of it is populated, unlike the UK where the bulk of the population is concentrated in a relatively small area. Because of delivery and transport costs, you will struggle to serve all but your corner of France every well. Population Area Overall Density France: 60,495,540 551,500 110United Kingdom: 60,776,238 242,900(though most of this not populated) 246Source: Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi Lisa,Do some homework on this as most villages around where we live have marquees for village use and these can be hired by local people for very little money. Three years ago I hired a huge one for a birthday party from our 'Marie' and the cost for the whole weekend was only 30 euros. That included delivery, but not erection....................I couldn't believe it.Wooden tables and chairs, for seventy people, from another source in the village, again delivered, price..................."six bottles of wine. no rubbish please".
