DANCO Does devon County Show
Danco sponsor Bristol & West Hockey Club for one of their most successful and enjoyable seasons yet! With lots of smiling faces throughout the season, three teams were promoted and three more finished in the top half of the league.
Last month, we had another brilliant weekend at Badminton Horse Trials. Our annual hospitality marquee was taken to a new level; equipped with life-size cherry blossoms and countryside decor to complete our British BBQ theme. Over the weekend we welcomed 250 VIP guests through our doors, serving a day of delicious food thanks to Cherry Picked Catering. As main suppliers for over 40 years, Badminton is one of the highlights of our year and has kicked off our summer with a bang. Plenty of projects are now well underway including a line-up of shows, festivals and events!
This summer sees the departure of the industries well-loved Ollie Allen as Secretary of Devon County Show. Before she heads off to begin her new chapter, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ollie to find out what her future holds. Read the full blog post HERE!

FAREWELL FROM DANCO!
DANCO DOes DEVON COUNTY... SHOW
CLEARSPAN MARQUEES IN CARDIFF
Our clearspan marquee complete with colourful festival covers housed live music, street food & drink under one large PVC roof at Devon's County Show earlier this May. The added option of open walls provided a spacious and airy atmosphere in the pavilion on what proved to be a gloriously hot and sunny summer weekend!!
"2018 was the first time The Watering Hole was a feature at the Devon County Show and it proved to be a huge success. The ‘festival pavilion’ is absolutely perfect for this sort of feature, it’s funky, quirky and flexible'' Ollie Allen, Show Secretary
You may remember from our previous newsletter that Cardiff Bay welcomed seven sailing boats racing around the world as part of the Volvo Ocean Race. The boats have since been and gone, and our structures taken down and dispatched to their next UK location. We caught up with our Operations Manager, Dale, to find out about this unique site and how the team tackled it's unusual location: ''Located on the waterfront in Cardiff Bay and open to the elements, the site received two trailers of ballast to hold the structures down for support. Logistically, the transport schedule had to be pre-planned with no allowance for any last minute changes''

We may be in the height of summer but our sister company Icescape, work all year round; and with over ten thousand skates to be sharpened for the winter season, there's no slowing down for the team! Here you can see the first (of many) layers of water used to form the UK's largest covered ice rink in the UK; Icescape at The Tropicana. Looking to create that perfect 'Winter Wonderland' with real ice? Our experienced team would be happy to help. FIND OUT MORE >>>
SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE FOOD FESTIVAL
It's not often we travel less than 5 miles to an event site, so when we received an enquiry from South Gloucestershire Show organisers regarding a traditional tent at Bristol & Bath Science Park, we were more than happy to help. A new addition to the festival scene, South Gloucestershire Food Fest was a huge success and our 160ft by 40ft traditional tent housed traders from gin connoisseurs to organic farmers. Festivals goers certainly ate, drank & danced their way through the weekend!
