Commitment to Marquee Quality & Safety
At Northern Event Structures - Northern Marquees our commitment to quality and health &
safety enables us to consistently provide the highest quality of
marquees on every event all year round.
As members of the Performance Textiles Association (formally the
Made Up Textiles Association – MUTA), we are fully committed
to the MUTA code of practice and code of public safety which covers
the full extent of the health & safety issues applicable to
the industry.
We have invested in in-house washing and maintenance facilities
and our full time Warehouse Team ensures that our equipment is maintained
to the highest standards.
All of our marquees are erected to the manufactures specification
by experienced staff and are flame retardant to BS7837.
