Our Ethos

Our Ethos

We love challenging the norms of our industry, by being transparent, responsive, professional and flexible.  We believe strongly that businesses should show careful consideration for the local community, staff and the environment and our business is built on strong sustainability values.

Our company ethos is:

We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.

Native American Proverb: Dakota Sioux

This sums up our approach to our impact on the world around us.

  • Every bride and groom receives a tree after their wedding to plant
  • Our Marketing materials are carbon neutral
  • We look after all of our equipment meticulously to ensure that it lasts and is in the best possible condition for our customers
  • We use LED lighting where possible to reduce the power consumed at events we run

  • We choose our vehicles carefully based on their MPG performance and do not operate any HGV’s
  • We keep our mileage to a minimum by focusing our business on Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire
  • We choose local suppliers over national suppliers
  • All our unique rustic furniture is hand crafted by us using locally sourced timber, limiting the environmental impact

  • Enquiries are responded to within 24 hours (if not immediately)
  • During events we are on-call 24 hours a day
  • Our staff are well respected and looked after, and this translates to passion and commitment to our customers, and a fun and empowered team.  They are encouraged to go the extra mile, and given autonomy to make decisions.

  • Every event has a sign-off process to ensure the customer is entirely satisfied and every detail has been checked before handover
  • We adopt a can-do approach to all enquiries and events, going above and beyond to delight our customers
  • We select our suppliers carefully, choosing to work with businesses that match our own company ethos
  • Most of our tipi furniture is bespoke and designed from up-cycled materials which are sourced locally

We also operate a very strong team ethos within Events Under Canvas, with employee wellbeing at its core. We believe that happy, healthy employees deliver the best in customer service.

We endeavor to run our business in a manner that our children will be proud of! Take a look at our reviews to see what our customers think.
