Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.
As an entrepreneur, Director Ben saw a fantastic opportunity to save ex- London and Essex Fire engine from the scrapheap! After a bidding war, it was his! The journey of restoring and rebuilding the engine began it's 240 miles journey to North Yorkshire on hired transport Cadman's Transport. Now the fun bit began; the original equipment was still intact and fully operational! To create more space the water tank was removed and a new floor was installed. Yes, the fire hose was still there, and to keep the engine authentic the original ladders were kept and restored. To move with the times, and be more green and efficient, solar panels were installed which help power the leisure facilities within the engine. And yes we can sure announce ourselves as the sirens are fully operational! Now all restored the engine needed a name! After conferring with team members and family the engine was christened ‘Poppy’ in a private naming ceremony.
Poppy is now fully operational and ready for your upcoming event, take a look at the upcoming events page on where to find us next!
Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?
We've had some great success with Add to Event having the ability to branch out to a great range of locations whereas we would have been limited to more of our local area. We have upcoming events that have been rebooked due to COVID and the process couldn't be easier to book, rearrange and talk to your chosen vendor or our customers. We have a few events booked as soon as restrictions lifted and can't wait to cater to new clients events that find us because of this great platform
