Why Gala Tent is the UK’s Trusted Supplier of Commercial Marquees and Pop-Up Gazebos

In the competitive world of events, hospitality, and commercial hire, one truth stands tall — quality always wins. While budget solutions dominate ads with “lowest price” gimmicks, industry professionals are increasingly seeking long-term value, durability, and trust. Enter Gala Tent, the UK’s leading manufacturer of commercial marquees, pop-up gazebos, and specialist event structures — a company rewriting the rules on what it means to buy smart.

Just weeks after securing the internationally recognised ISO 9001 certification for its quality management systems, Gala Tent unveiled two revolutionary product lines — the Vantage Series and the INFL8 Airbeam Range. Both are now gaining widespread acclaim across the UK events industry and beyond. These aren’t just new models. They represent a fundamental shift toward innovation-first thinking, built on years of hands-on experience and technical excellence.

From marquee hire firms and festival organisers to councils, schools, and retail brands, Gala Tent has become the go-to supplier for those who need structures that perform without compromise. “We’ve always championed quality,” says Jason Mace, CEO of Gala Tent. “But now that commitment is officially validated. ISO 9001 isn’t just a badge — it’s proof that every part of our business is engineered for performance, teamwork, and customer satisfaction.”

ISO 9001: A Game-Changer for Marquee Buyers

For decision-makers in procurement, local authorities, or large-scale venues, ISO 9001 certification is more than a buzzword — it’s a mark of trust. It means consistent quality, rigorous testing, and systems that scale under pressure. Gala Tent’s achievement in gaining this certification sets them apart from competitors focused solely on undercutting prices.

As Mace puts it: “We’re not in a race to the bottom. We’re leading from the top.” And it’s working. Gala Tent’s phone lines haven’t stopped ringing since the news broke, with a surge in demand from clients who simply won’t risk their event or brand on substandard kit.

And rightly so. We’ve all seen what happens when a cheap pop-up collapses mid-market, or when a so-called heavy-duty marquee leaks during a wedding. Gala Tent promises — and delivers — robust, weather-resistant, and professional-grade solutions with every order.

The Vantage and INFL8 Ranges – Raising the Bar

The introduction of Gala Tent’s Vantage and INFL8 ranges has already made waves in the industry press. Featured in the Rotherham Advertiser and Yorkshire Post, these product lines were praised for their ingenuity and reliability, offering solutions that address real-world pain points in the events sector.

• The Vantage Series blends high-strength materials with sleek design, making it perfect for premium hospitality tents, corporate branding activations, and pop-up exhibition spaces.

• The INFL8 Range harnesses advanced airbeam technology to enable ultra-fast deployment without sacrificing strength, ideal for emergency shelters, fast-moving events, and outdoor venues with limited staff.

Each product benefits from Gala Tent’s investment in patented technologies and registered trademarks, ensuring you're not just buying a structure; you’re securing peace of mind backed by legal protection and design excellence.

Lisa Mace, COO of Gala Tent, explains: “When a council, festival team, or marquee hire business chooses Gala Tent, they’re not gambling on the cheapest option. They’re investing in long-term reliability, and that investment pays off with fewer breakdowns, better branding, and repeat business.”
