Catering Equipment and Crockery Hire
From Hospitality Professionals
It wasn’t too long ago that we found ourselves in your shoes.
Staring down an event and wondering how we were going to pull it off when we didn’t have the stock in hand to handle the number of guests.
The Client organiser was pleased with themselves but we were left to find solutions to accommodate the event to the standards we were used to working to.
The suppliers available to us were consistent in one thing…letting us down.
Dishes and glassware were showing up dirty or smudged.
Scheduling was a nightmare.
Managing staff rosters, time became a problem we did not need.
After more than 40 years of combined experience in the hospitality and fine dining industry, we decided to make things easier for event and catering managers by supplying them with a dependable service that would make their events run smoothly.
It starts with our commitment to our business standards:
Guaranteed Gleaming
Every hired product is inspected by us, buffed, and polished before it is dropped off with you, our client. If you have to clean it before you use it, what’s the point in hiring it? Let us know right away so that we can make it right.
Schedules are Promises
When you rent from us, you expect us to be on time so that your event can proceed without a second thought about when your rental will arrive (or be whisked away). Our delivery schedule is vital to the success of your event.
Management is Key
Managing a venue or event space you have arranged it’s all about keeping your guests happy. That includes managing service timings, communication between waitstaff and the kitchen team, behind-the-scenes problem resolution, and maintaining our focus on your guests having a great experience.
Because of our commitment to these standards,
our clients come back to us again and again.
We would love to talk to you about your event.
It doesn’t matter if it is booked at a huge venue, a community center, or even your own dining room.
You can depend on us to help make your next event or party a pleasure instead of a panic.
Hi, I’m Lyn
Lyn has over 15 years of experience directly in the event and hospitality sector of the industry with event and wedding setups of all kinds being second nature. She has arranged and managed event spaces, bars, and all types of catering services.
She loved working in the industry but hated it when suppliers let her and her staff down without regard to schedules, cleanliness, and communication.
Fed up with trying to work with the catering and crockery hire industry as it (barely) functioned, she and Rich decided to build the company in an industry that they always wanted to work with.
You’ll see Lyn’s friendly face around the office or even on stage as she is also a regional actor and singer as well as a teacher with True Colours Theatre Company.
Hi, I’m Rich
Rich knew that he could find a better way to do event and catering equipment hire with the right management and attention to detail
After more than 30 years managing hotels and Venues in the North East and organising and delivering some of the most high profile conferences and events, he wanted to create a better, more reliable service for hospitality businesses that needed assistance for their requirements
By combining Rich’s experience in the industry and with Lyn’s capable wedding and event management experience, they launched Equippe, event and catering equipment hire service. We have worked with event and conference events like the Glass House Gateshead, Fire station Sunderland Great North Run Company, and the Hexham Winter Gardens
You’ll speak with Rich or Lyn on the phone regarding your quote and requirements, advice, and scheduling. He’ll be at your event if you need setup or close-down management as well.
I’ve just used this company for glasses, crockery, and cutlery for a big party at home. They were easy to work with and communication before the event was good. Delivery and collection was on time, as arranged. They helped ensure the party went smoothly. I can highly recommend Rich and his company.
Used these guys for a family garden get-together. Tea, coffee, glasses, cutlery, and plates, also had a chafing dish for some hot food. Great service and no washing up!!! Thanks!!
Thank you for your catering for my husband’s 50th birthday. A lovely day was had by our family and friends. Beautifully matched crockery, no chips in sight, and plenty of glassware so no quick washing to reuse. I found your company efficient and professional. Very happy to recommend and use you again.
Lyn and the team were efficient and professional throughout. It was a really straightforward process from getting a quote to delivery and collection of my items. All items were clean and matching. They even provided staff to help pack the crockery at the end of the night! 5 ⭐’s!
