We have just been voted "BEST PLACE TO WORK" in our Local Business Awards!
The Wareham Business Awards have voted Perfect Party Tents - Best Place to Work for 2025-26 - and we could not be more thrilled and delighted! Of course much of this is down to our fabulous team - and we are lucky that people want to work with us - what an absolute privilege that is!
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

George & Kieran
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!

George & Kieran
These young fellas have been with us for sometime now - they never quite seem to leave us. George (on the right) was with us from the very start and has learnt so much along the way since he was just 13 and had no idea how to make a bed up! Kieran has been with us for the last two summers and both have now flown the nest for Careers in Farming and Engineering. This doesn't stop them popping back in though and helping out here and there around their work. They are part of our history and we love them. Thoroughly decent, honest, hard working young men - this is what a good start in the workplace is all about! there is nothing they don't know about how our business operated and they are a credit to their parents and an asset to their new employers! Always tenters to us!
Edward
George & Kieran
Edward
Seen here with his big brother George - Edward is joining us NEW for the 2026 season and we're thrilled to have him onboard!
An all round good egg, Edward has been helping out at our festivals here and there for a while with his brother (who he very much looks up to) and he's been a joy to have around....so much so, we thought we'd finally get him on the team now he's old enough to work.
We're so looking forward to watching this young man grow and we'll keep you posted on how he gets on!
Florie
Charlie
Edward
Pictured here with Fiona and Heidi a few years ago, Florie is now joining our team "properly" new for 2026. With a few Glamping jobs with us under her belt last year, Floz absolutely showed her "calm in a crisis" attitude when she arrived on her first ever job in a downpour - and not put off - proceeded to deck out every tent in the most stunning way - getting totally soaked in between the tents and showing she's made of pretty strong stuff! Her Tents quite simply look like beautiful boutique Hotel rooms - and we love her for it!!
Caiden
Charlie
Charlie
Joining the Marquee Crew NEW for 2026 - we can't wait to see what this fella get up to and brings to the team! Younger brother to Aspen - one of our former (and possibly best ever) Tent Crew members, Caiden has been very keen to get started and so we'll let you know how he gets on. Welcome to the team Caiden!
Charlie
Charlie
Charlie
Joining the Marquee Crew NEW for 2026 - young Charlie is one of Sam's boys and has been very vocal about wanting to start with us - so as with our other youngsters we've registered that with the local council, had a chat with the parents and have them starting this year with a view to getting them some experience in the workplace. We're passionate about giving young people from rural areas an opportunity - a young person can only develop a work ethic if they are encouraged to do so - and so Charlie is joining us with Edward and Florie as our three youngest and we look forward to seeing them thrive at work!
Oscar
Joining the Marquee Crew again for 2026 - Oscar is Fiona's nephew who together with his sister, Emily, has been working with us in their summer breaks - coming all the way down from the North of Scotland where they live just to join us!
Oscar is a fantastic member of the team (as has been Emily for the last two seasons). Now at Uni, Emily is staying in Scotland but we're looking forward to seeing Oscar again this year and seeing what he gets up to (to be honest he's usually first up the ladders). It's been fabulous having them with us - especially for Auntie Fi of course!
Casey
Joining the Marquee Crew for 2026 - we will be telling you all about Casey SOON!
