Details: Brandon Hire
Station has a strong standing
relationship with the events
team at Plymouth City Council and
provides the infrastructure for events
and concerts across the city.
Brandon Hire Station supplies several
aspects of the infrastructure for the
concerts including toilets. Most of the
infrastructure is delivered and built
within a two week period and delivered
over several dates
meeting scheduling
requirements. It
supplies 200 toilets,
15 disabled units
and 20 urinals/Pee
pods, split evenly
across two toilet sites.
Single Plastic Units are
used and a mix of Polyportable
and Satellite brands. The Pee-pods are
provided by Plastic Solutions.
It also provides a Toilet Crew during the
live events to keep on top of cleanliness
and consumable supplies. Following the
first evening concert, a full site sweep
of servicing is carried out ready for the
second evening of live events.
After these events have taken place, the
exit begins starting with the removal of
toilets, meeting requirements that they
must be off site the following day. The
remaining infrastructure is dismantled
and removed during the following week.
Feedback: “Brandon Hire Station has
always proven to go the extra mile
for Plymouth City Council. The event
officer always comments that nothing
is too much trouble for last minute
extras and changes of plan, they always
accommodate.”
The Big Feastival
Description: A three-day
festival welcoming some of
the world’s top chefs and

and management of over 600
toilets and 80 showers
Company: Prestige Toilet Hire
Telephone: 01386 462554
Website: www.

Details: The Big Feastival
is a family friendly festival
and the organisers need a
company that will provide
first class facilities and on-site
management throughout the
festival.
Big Feastival not only
expects Prestige to provide
the toilet/shower hire and
servicing, it also expects
delivery and collection
schedules to be adhered to,
and Prestige has a dedicated
transport and site-manager
for larger scale events.
Although festival goers
attend The Big Feastival for
culinary delights and fantastic
music, they also expect a
high standard of toilet and
shower facilities. People
always remember bad loos
so the management of waste,
servicing and cleaning is of
top priority to Prestige Toilet
Hire.
The toilets and showers
are arranged in the arena
and campsites with luxury
vacuum units in the boutique
glamping area. Prestige offers
individual toilets, luxury
trailers and vacuum pods to
the festival to ensure a good
choice of facilities on-site. For
families with young children
it provides festival toilets with
baby changing facilities.
Feedback: “Our staff at
Prestige Toilet Hire are a
friendly crew and come rain
or shine are always in good
spirits and happy to help
despite the weather. We are
lucky to have a fabulous team
working with us and our
success at The Big Feastival
and other events is down to
their sheer hard work and
determination to provide a
top-class service.”
