Piggotts Provide Support for the Tsunami

Piggotts, the Crown Group's marquee and furniture hire supplier provided
two large hospitality marquees for a recent Tsunami Memorial Service at
St Paul's Cathedral.

This prestigious event was hosted by The Department of Culture, Media
and Sport, headed by the Secretary of State M.P. Rt Hon Tessa Jowell, in
remembrance of the U.K. victims of the Indian Ocean tragedy last Boxing
Day. In attendance was H.M. Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and 1250
survivors and their families together with the families of many victims.
The occasion was broadcast live on TV and Radio and aired all around the
world.

Once the service had concluded at St Paul's, the congregation and guests
retired to the hospitality marquees for refreshments. Says Bryan
Ribbans, Sales Manager of Piggotts," This was just the job that
Piggott's specialises in. It had all the elements that make marquee
build's 'interesting. The largest marquee was 20m wide x 40m long and
sited (actually 'shoe-horned' – it was a tight fit!) into Paternoster
Square 100 yards from the Cathedral. The other, 12m wide x 50m long, was
positioned right outside the Cathedral entrance." He continues, "Once
again, Piggotts is proud to be selected to carry out such a demanding
build demonstrating that the small close-knit team based at Ongar are
capable of building first-class structures when the eyes of the world
are upon them, and against the clock."
