Why Hire From 88 Events?

88 Events Company’s hire service is unlike any other in that it guarantees you a high level of personal service with very high quality products that represent amazing value for money and that’s just for starters.

Here’s ten reasons why you should make 88 Events your number one choice for all your event hire requirements:

Reason # 1 - Quality Products

88 Events Company’s buyers source linen and other event products from all over the world.

We are constantly investing in new products, technology and staff training to ensure we continue to meet and exceed the high standards our customers expect from us.

Every single piece of linen (with the exception of one napkin range) is manufactured in-house by experienced cutters and machinists.

Our manufacturing team has over 100 years experience working in textiles and they put this knowledge to good use to ensure that the products you hire for your event are of the very highest quality.

Our warehousing and laundry divisions are then responsible for ensuring that your linen and other hire products are stored properly and cleaned ready for use at your event.

Reason # 2 - Massive Choice: A Table Dressing Department Store

When it comes to choosing products for your next special event, it is unlikely that you’ll find another company with as broad a range of products as 88 Events.

Think of us like a table dressing department store. With 12 unique fabric ranges as well as a massive choice of table centres, charger plates, and tabletop products you are practically guaranteed to find something suitable for your event that fits your budget.

Reason # 3 - Service: We take it extremely seriously!

The 88 Events ethos has always been the same. We treat each customer with the same amount of care and respect whether they are hiring 50 napkins or spending six figures on an event.

Our sole aim is to provide you with a level of service that is unsurpassed and makes you want to come back for more.

The 88 Events experience should be an enjoyable one for you. It is advisory based, not sales based and we will never put you under pressure to commit to anything.

We want to give you the best advice possible so that even if you choose not to use 88 Events, you have all the info you need to make an informed decision about choosing the supplier that is right for you.

Reason # 4 - Amazing Staff: Our most important asset

All members of 88 Events Company’s staff are trained to exacting standards in order to meet the very high service levels we demand of our team.

From our laundry workers who actually help out on-site at events to our drivers and event managers, they are friendly without being obtrusive and are always on hand to help out.

We recognise that our team is our number 1 asset and without them we would be just another company.

Every member of staff is given a specific role and takes ‘ownership’ of that role and as such we have a de-centralised structure that encourages productivity and quality workmanship.

This is reflected in the extremely low staff turnover rates we have In fact, at the time of writing nearly 50% of the workforce have been with the company for more than 4 years.

Reason # 5 - A Company Run by Event Organisers for Event Organisers

At 88 Events we are truly passionate about events. Because we are event organisers ourselves, we understand what is important when you are designing and planning an event.

We understand the process from start to finish; we understand that certain clients are – how can we put it – more demanding than others.

In short, we understand events.

That is why we set-up our hire division in 2002 because we were not happy with the range and quality of products available and saw a gap in the market for innovative, design-led event products specifically targeted at event organisers, caterers and venues.

Reason # 6 - Our Industry First, Risk-Free Linen Quality Guarantee

We’re so confident about the quality of our linen that if you’re not completely satisfied we’ll refund your money. It’s as simple as that.

You can be confident that you’ll receive a superior product when you hire from 88 Events.

We’re not preferred suppliers to venues as famous as Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle and Gleneagles Hotel for nothing!

Reason #7 - Guarantee 2; Our Risk-Free Chair Cover Fit Guarantee

Your event, party or wedding is too important an occasion to get wrong. If we don’t know your venue or chair, we’ll send you samples free of charge to try on for size.

We point blank refuse to hire you chair covers without first making sure they fit the chairs they’re covering.

If you’re not completely happy with the fit, we’ll politely refund every penny you’ve paid with no hard feelings whatsoever.

Reason #8 - Free Advice, Tips and Industry Trends

One thing you will notice as you browse this site and our blog is the amount of free advice on offer.

There are regular e-shots sent out with informative articles on what is hot in the industry, fashion trends, tips and advice about designing and planning events.

What is important to us is that we advise you first and then let you make an informed decision on what is right for you.

You'll find a selection of guides on table styling, wedding and party planning you can download that will help you in the decision making process and generally make life easier for you.

Reason # 9 - Free Samples So You Can Compare And Contrast

Organising an event can be very stressful indeed. You may have a vision of how you want your event to look but are unsure of how to achieve the look you want. Or you may not want to commit without seeing first-hand the products you will be ordering.

You are more than welcome to request samples of any product you desire; all you need to do is cover the carriage costs and return the goods when you are finished.

This way you can look at various options and decide which one will work best for your event.

If you are in any way unsure about what might look good (or won’t!) then speak to one of the events team who will be delighted to advise you of what fabrics will work best for certain looks, what glassware or table centre is appropriate and what is hot in the industry at the moment.
