Case Study: Glastonbury Festival
Case Study: Glastonbury Festival
Expo Hire is an approved supplier to Glastonbury Festival. We have supplied LPG gas equipment and commercial refrigeration to the festival for eight consecutive years.
Glastonbury is one of the largest and most logistically complex outdoor events in the world. Approved supplier status is not given lightly — suppliers are vetted on reliability, equipment quality, health and safety compliance and the ability to operate at scale in a challenging outdoor environment.
We have held approved supplier status for eight years. That means eight years of on-time delivery, correctly specified equipment and a team who know the site, the access windows and the standards expected.
Supplying equipment to a festival like Glastonbury is not the same as supplying a hotel or a conference centre. Equipment has to withstand outdoor conditions, be delivered to a field, and remain operational for the duration of the event with no access to normal servicing infrastructure. When something goes wrong on a festival site, it needs to be fixed on the spot.
Eight years of Glastonbury has given us deep experience in outdoor event supply — the right equipment, the right preparation, and a team who can handle what festival environments throw at them.
Glastonbury's approved supplier list exists to protect traders and event operations from unreliable equipment suppliers. Being on that list means we have been assessed and meet their standards. For our other festival and outdoor event clients, it is a meaningful reference point.
