Update - New Brisbane & Gold Coast Office

Well it’s now been a year since we last updated this exciting feature. Where did the time go?

We have undergone quite a few changes in our little company but one thing still remains the same, our dedication to provide outstanding products and services for each and every event, big, small, indoor, outdoor, public or private.

Exciting new expansion:

BRISBANE & GOLD COAST OFFICE IS NOW OPEN!

If you’re having an event in the sunshine state, Alex Hughes will be able to transform your space into a magical Bedouin Paradise. While we’re primarily servicing the Gold Coast & Brisbane areas, the new QLD office allows us to truly service any client up and down the East Coast.

MELBOURNE:

Nat Flint, Melbourne Branch Manager has now settled in to the brand new, permanent location in Melbourne’s northern suburb of Bundoora at the prestigious University Hill Complex. The branch is continuing to grow from strength to strength and with our associations with industry groups such as MEA, as well as developing great relationships with many of Melbourne’s key event planners, venue operators and even other event hire companies, Nat’s network in Melbourne is growing by the day. Since our last blog, Nat has also given birth to her second child, Charlie in May 2008.

SYDNEY:

Laura Murphy, Sydney Branch Manager took over from Rochana Perri in July 2008. Laura has many years of experience working in a variety of hospitality positions, including Functions Manager at a prestigious venue on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Laura is a wonderful asset to Bedouin Tents and we’re lucky to have her on board.

Stuart Johnstone and his wife Penny also expanded the Bedouin clan a little more last August when they welcomed a new baby girl, their first baby into their lives. Little Danielle will no doubt be putting up tents just as soon as she can walk.

So now that you’re up to date with our staff, we should tell you about some of the exciting events we’ve had the privilege of working on.

New Colour:

Our fantastic colour range now includes LIME GREEN. This was a much anticipated addition to our existing colour range and we can now offer our full range of Freeform Tents & Echidna Pods in 8 different colours: Lime Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Sand, Burnt Orange, Black & White (light grey).

Our new Lime Green tents have been used as promotional marquees for company’s such as V Energy drinks at the Future Music Festival + Oxfam at the finish line of the Melbourne Trailwalkers event.

Echidna Pods:

You will have seen in our first blog that our long awaited Echidna Pod range of marquees were about to be released. The response to these innovative & eye catching structures has been phenomenal. They are currently available in sizes 5m x 5m or 7m x 7m with larger versions set to be released later this year. The Echidna’s are completely modular and can be joined together to accommodate even the biggest spaces.

Event organisers at Field dayz music festival in Sydney used 6 Echidna Pods side by side to create the biggest & most colourful bar ever seen at a music festival in Australia.

Employment Opportunities:

Our current Melbourne tent installers, Phil Moore & Matthew Smith will soon be packing their bags to go travelling through Asia, before heading home to the UK.

This does mean that there will be an opening for a new tent installer to take over the reins from next month (May). If you’re hard working and love to work outdoors, with a passion for the Events Industry, please contact Nat Flint at: nat@bedouintents.com.au
