Archers Marquees was set up in 1998 by the former Bristol and England rugby forward Garath Archer. Anthony Dutton joined the business as a partner in 2002 and took over the day to day control of the business. On Garath’s move back to Newcastle Rugby in 2003 Anthony took full control of the business.
As well as providing marquees for innumerable celebrations over the past few years, we are also the appointed suppliers to several well known local names including Bath Rugby and Childrens Hospice South West.
We have a small number of full time employees who work throughout the year, with the workforce rising to around 12 through the summer months. On an average week in the summer we have two teams operational. All our workers are English from our local area, who understand the nature of the job and the demands of our customers.
Experience has taught us that these things are very important to our customers so we try and do them all really well:
-
We care – if you’re not happy, we’re not happy
-
We listen before we offer you recommendations or ideas
-
We are very flexible – we offer innumerable ‘Friday afternoon’ solutions like walkways, hard floors, marquee extensions which we undertake with good heart whatever the weather
-
We are just about always available at the end of the phone
-
We are honest, prompt and reliable and we don’t slip in hidden costs at the last minute
-
Our staff are English, friendly, experienced and respectful (and apparently quite entertaining!)
-
We offer as wide a choice as possible of all our product lines
-
We are always prepared to take on difficult jobs and say ‘yes’ far more than we say ‘no’.
-
We are competitive on price – we don’t try and undercut all our competitors as our reputation doesn’t require us to, and we charge the same price to everyone regardless of budget or house size.
