With the lighter spring evenings here, now is the time to consider some extra heating for your outdoor event.  Your event may be taking place on a patio, in a garden or roof garden or other outdoor space, or in a conservatory, marquee or other temporary structure.  Mobile or portable heaters are a convenient and versatile way to heat your outdoor event space as one or more can be positioned exactly where the additional warmth is needed.

The First Dates restaurant is also being kept cool by some of our portable Climateeasy 14 air conditioners plus a Blizzard portable spot cooler.   Not only are the ‘first daters’ likely to get rather warm, but the filming itself generates a lot of heat from all the equipment and lights.   Also, we mustn’t forget that the presence of Fred Sirieix and his staff is also likely to raise the temperature a few degrees! At the famous Somerset House off the Strand in London WC2 we supplied some large warehouse drum fans for events at Somerset House Studios .   Boiler Room TV were presenting the last in their seri...
