Welcome to our the team!
At Perfect Party Tents we are ALL about the team. We pride ourselves on being a fair, inclusive (and fun) employer where people WANT to go to be at work. Whether you're on the Marquee Crew or form part of our Glamping Army - we're all in it together!
The unique way we do Teamwork!
We are always open to employing people who some might think are the "unemployable". By which we mean, people who worry that they won't be a good employee because of their circumstances. We know all about this - because it was us too!
We know what it is to be at the mercy of modern life - whether that's school phone calls and NHS appointments and demands in your life that change from day to day - because for us that has been (and still is) our normal too and we know that doesn't always work very well in a "traditional" workplace. But that doesn't mean you can't work - it just requires some flexibility - and honesty. We also know that for some of us, a deterioration in our mental health can rock up and throw a wobbler just when we'd rather it didn't.
At Perfect Party Tents we accept that life throws many of us curveballs, bereavements, mental health struggles, illnesses, special needs and all sorts of other demands on us that frankly make finding a job and working - well - a bit of a mission! We have lots of members of our team (we include ourselves in this) who have or have had different, and often, very challenging circumstances on top of the normal day to day stuff. To us - this is all part of what makes our team fabulous. As long as the work gets done when it needs to be done by, we're not religious on start and end times and are flexible enough to manage it by communicating.
We all have our strengths and weaknesses, Heidi and Fiona literally are the opposite of each other so we know about the power of difference. We also know how important inclusivity and diversity is - and what that actually means in real life, on a day to day basis.
We will always support our teams so that they can work in a safe, supportive and positive environment - and so they can be there for those who are most important to them. We firmly believe that what you put in, you get out, and fortunately for us this has meant we have developed the best team spirit you could wish for, on foundations built on trust and support and wanting to get the job done. For some of our team, coming to work is their sanctuary and their "time out". For us it's just the best feeling knowing we're supporting people in being able to do something for themselves.
We literally have the best job/s ever!

Sam
Pictured living her best life here is Sam (aka Dave) - she is as Dorset as it is possible to get - without being Heidi!
She's also Mum to 4 fab children and is a Nurse too! She's one of the hardest working and funniest humans we know.
She loves taking her tribe off in their caravan and loves the outdoors. She's a proud farmers daughter and starts most conversations with "Yer"! You know you're in for a great day when she's in!
Sam is our Ian Botham - a great all-rounder who can quite literally do it all - Marquees, Tents, Glamp and is also fabulous with Wedding prep - we love her!
Kay

Sam
Kay (above in a rare pic) is a bit of a back of house Hero to the PPT team. There is NOTHING this woman doesn't know about what state the bedding is in - where it is, how many we have, what tent set up it's going to and frankly she's just brilliant - our unsung hero! She's got 3 amazing kids and a fabulous family and is an absolute rock - but life is particularly challenging at times and she once tried to quit before she'd even started - but we weren't having any of that, and thank goodness! We wouldn't be without her!
Kay is one of our permanent fixtures and there's nothing she doesn't know about Teepees and Tents!

George
Mostly addressed as Gorgeous George, this young fella has been with us for three summers now and is a bit of a superstar! Last year he left us for 6 weeks in the summer (with our full support) so he could go off on and do some Outdoors Activity training with Rockley (and they even had him putting a LOT of tents up) but he's never lost his touch with the tents and we are always happy to have him on the team - just don't ask him to make beds! He's an absolute rock, great on the Marquee and Tent Crew and just an all round nice guy!

Kieran is one of our newer members of the team and joined us in 2024 - he's a best friend to George which means we keep them as far apart as possible!
An all round good egg, Kieran truly earnt his stripes on his very first job with us, when, despite plenty of anti-histamine, his Hay-fever went absolutely bonkers whilst we were setting up Marquees in a freshly cut field. Would he go take a break in the van? No! He carried on like an absolute trooper, eyes streaming (we really did insist but he wasn't having any of it) and after that - well he was in! Good Effort Kieran!

Rosie
Pictured here with Fiona, Rosie has been a fantastic asset to our Glamping Army since she joined us at the start of 2024. Her Tents quite simply look like beautiful boutique Hotel rooms - and we love her for it!!
Rosie is just lovely, the quietest member of the team, she happily cracks on without a word and creates her own brand of magic wherever she goes - and she never misses a thing!
Thankyou Rosie for all you do - we look forward to seeing more of it in 2025!
