You can’t miss the fact that the General Election is taking place nationwide tomorrow – Thursday 8th June – though by the time some of you read this, it will have already happened, and the result will be known. It will certainly be interesting to see the result, with all the parties now back on the campaign trail after suspending this over the weekend following the awful terror attack in London last weekend.
General Elections and local elections mean that councils up and down the country need to set up their voting stations and counting centres as part of the logistics for this democratic process to happen in the first place. As a result, furniture hire for general election items such as trestle tables, padded chairs, office screens and other types of furniture hire here at Event Hire UK come into their own, usually being required in large quantities across the UK in major vote counting centres.
Due to the fact that Event Hire UK has a network of sales and distribution centres including Walsall, West London, Manchester and Bradford, this means that we work with a large number of different councils. We often also set up the furniture hire for general election, in their counting centres, and dismantle it afterwards, providing the complete furniture rental service for election time, so the next 24 hours are an incredibly busy time for our logistics teams across the county.
Keep your eyes fixed on the various TV election broadcasts on Thursday evening and throughout the night in what promises to be a closely fought battle. And, if you’re reading this post-election, we hope that you’re happy with the result…!
