The Hire Awards of Excellence 2012 took place at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on the evening of 28th April 2012.

Event Hire won the Hire Industry Catalogue of the Year.

Independently judged, the Hire Awards of Excellence are designed to genuinely recognise excellence throughout the Hire Industry. Acknowledging the successes of the hirers and suppliers as well as those successful individuals who truly set the standard, these Awards are the industry’s most sought after accolade.

See the Event Hire team receiving the award here.

In this age of on-line technology, with so many avenues for marketing and sales opportunities, many companies no longer see the need for producing a hard copy catalogue, believing that their website is the ultimate tool. Whilst we agree that a good website is absolutely necessary, we believe that you also need to look at all the options available: Website, Blog, Social Networking, Email marketing, Telemarketing and a Catalogue.

Apart from the fact we can send out the catalogue by email in a pdf format, a professionally printed catalogue with great product images and informative content gives potential clients a great feel for the quality of our business.

The new black cover with a matt laminate and spot UV finish fits in perfectly with the style and looks of some of the major hospitality events we regularly supply.

The number of pages increased from 40 to 52, with the inclusion of new product groups and over 50 new products.

If you would like your own personal copy of our award winning catalogue then give us a call on 01922 628961 or email us at info@ev-ent.co.uk
