With staging posts in the City and West End and daily van runs into Central London and the Thames Valley our equipment and crew regularly support presentations and events in Docklands, The City of London, the West End, Heathrow and the Home Counties. And because of our easy motorway access Birmingham, Manchester, Harrogate, Edinburgh and Glasgow are all locations we attend frequently.

And Overseas too…

Our warehouse is also conveniently located with good road access to all the London Airports and the Channel ports too. That means we can efficiently service events across Europe and even further afield.

What Our Customers Say

  • Thank you for all your efforts last week in delivering the Apple event. From the start of planning back in April 2016 to the completion of the event last Friday it has been the largest, most intense and demanding event that we’ve ever held, and a clear example of the strong team capability and industry expertise we possess. I hope you and your teams have managed to get some rest over the weekend, or will be doing so in the days to come – it is richly deserved.

    Josh Palmer, The Crystal, Siemens plc

  • GEMS have gone above and beyond in helping to find solutions for hired equipment, linen and marquees. I couldn't have asked more annoying questions and still had a reasonable reply to all. Anything from minor queries, to full scale planning, last minute changes and a very personal approach. My wife and I cannot thank you enough for all the help.
