GlampRad<br />

Collaborations<br />

GLAMPRAD IS a new infrared heating solution<br />

for glamping structures from Universal<br />

Glamping. It has been showcased at both<br />

the Glamping Show and the Farm <strong>Business</strong><br />

Innovation Show generating early sales with<br />

customers using it to heat a range of structures<br />

from garden pods to yurts.<br />

Since 2017, the GlampRAD has been<br />

incorporated into the manufacture of the<br />

company’s glamping pods, mounted to the<br />

ceiling as a steel panel with the option of<br />

LED lighting. Used as a canvas radiator, it is<br />

also integrated into the new two tier canvas<br />

structure, the GlampLoft. Other manufacturers<br />

are also excited about the potential with<br />

collaborations across the channel.<br />

“We are extremely excited to have formed a<br />

strategic partnership with Cabanon, a French<br />

based safari tent manufacturer,” says director<br />

George Richardson. “We are also forming new<br />

partnerships with various UK and European<br />

companies who are interested in promoting the<br />

GlampRAD brand. We are really looking forward<br />

to 2019 which we hope to be a very busy time<br />

for us here at Universal Glamping!”<br />

No More Pine Needles!<br />

TWILIGHT TREES is delighted to<br />

announce the introduction of a<br />

snow dusted, LED faux Christmas<br />

tree to its range. Traditional in<br />

style, the Frosted LED Christmas<br />

Tree stands at 2.5m tall and<br />

is available to hire – perfect<br />

for venues and planners with<br />

Christmas 2020 to prepare for.<br />

“It’s taken us four years to find<br />

a Christmas tree that meets our<br />

approval,” said founder Susie<br />

Reid Thomas. “It has an ever so<br />

slight dusting of snow and, true<br />

to form, has a little twinkle!<br />

“A perfect accompaniment is<br />

the non-lit Frosted Fir Table Top<br />

Tree. A perfectly formed pine in a<br />

dark evergreen with a dusting of<br />

frost, it stands at 155cm tall - the<br />

perfect size and shape for a table<br />

centre, placed around the room<br />

or in a uniform line along a row<br />

of long tables.”<br />
