Gorilla launches hire of mobile event venue
Live
event specialists Gorilla Marketing & Events are making their 44ft mobile
venue truck and trailer available for hire for the first time. Completely self
contained, the unit includes a fold down extendible stage on each side and,
when fully deployed, the trailer unit becomes a hospitality area with catering
space for up to 150 people seated, or a party layout with a fully operational,
central, fast serve bar for 300 people and a DJ playing from the roof of the
bar/serving area. Entirely self sufficient on site, it has its own power
supply, a variety of sound and lighting options including plasma TVs and DVD.
Disabled ramps and staircase access all contribute to making the unit an easy
to manage structure. The 3 different sized set-up options - small medium and
large, makes it the only vehicle of its type and marks a new direction for the
company.

MD Andy Butts said: "We built this trailer for a number of specific brand
events and have often been asked if we would be prepared to hire it out. We
have taken the decision to make it available to other brands, agencies and
event organisers. It has already been used to great success by energy drinks
company Monster, so we know that it works. "
The
truck is multi functional and can be used for daytime hospitality at outdoor
events through to an evening party area. Monster has used the truck and trailer
to great effect on a number of major brand events and road shows, in the UK at:
O2 Wireless, Hard Rock Calling, Download Festival, Weston Beach Race, across France
at Moto GP, Hellfest, Bospop, and FISE Montpellier as well as Graspop in
Belguim and the Mountain bike world cup across Europe.
"Because
of its versatility and with so many options for branding, we can make sure that
each time it's deployed it's different from the last and is tailored to suit
the brand and the event." concluded Butts.
