Has anyone worked for a marquee company before? Been offered a job doing it but unsure as I dont want to kill myself lugging shit around all day Its the right time of year to be working outside

My mate used to do it. Basically spent all summer at huge show grounds and race tracks.
Said it was a wicked job!
He was also incharge of taking the Carrera Cup official trailer to all the Porsche events and meetings

I recently changed jobs.
Used to work for a frozen food distribution company called Brake Bros, but now work for an event hire company called Space works.
Only been there 2 weeks but really is a good job, much better than Brakes.

Basically we supply almost anything you can think of that you would need for an event, wedding, function, party etc.
In the last 2 weeks ive been to newmarket race course, badminton race course, Hammersmith Palace, Alexandra palace, and also went to silverstone a couple of days ago.
That was good as we was delivering some cocktail tables to Ferrari for the launch of the new Ferrari 430, very nice car.

Every day is differant, fair enough its much harder work than brakes but thats what i wanted, since being at this job ive lost 4 ponds in weight lol, which is a good thing

I would go for it m8

Trolley boy for a supermarket sounds gash but money is ok £280ish a weekon around 40hrs (plus sunday ot) and gets you REALLY fit and builds good muscle onm your back, forearms and legs! not to mention the ladies and a tan EASY job, can more or less work as you please (if sneaky about it )

Me mate Rikki owns and runs Halifax Marquees and runs it in his spare time - says its a fantastic earner along side a fulltime job

the coont is filthy loaded too

MrsCossieRich330

mate from uni did it last year and again this summer. he loves it because you pretty much get left to your own devices all day and he got a sun tan with it. think it was a little hard going for him to start with as he's not the fittest guy in the world (and a smoker) but he's always telling me stories......


PS the money was good too, think was about £9 an hour, but that's in Chetenham, depends where you are i suppose

Nath

Well so far so good, but hard work and long hours (102 hours one week). The company isnt too big on H&S but I guess thats normal in this game. The 15 metre is a bugger to put up though and linings are a girlie job IMO

But what do you guys do out of season that keep you fit?

Getting paid to get tanned and be fit is great and feck ever working in a office again as that sucks pooh
