The Client

A ‘Bolder’ future awaits… Bolder Academy is a new, non denominational, mixed secondary Academy in Isleworth, the London Borough of Hounslow. Set up by local primary and secondary school headteachers, to meet the demand for additional places. Bolder Academy challenge and inspire all students, as each and every student is unique, with different strengths and different passions.

The Challenge

Currently Bolder Academy students and staff are split across two sites whilst a brand new site is being built. Then, just before the Christmas holidays, the talk of mass covid testing for all students and staff, which was to start at the beginning of the Spring term, January 4th, presented another pressure for the Academy.

The Academy had to find additional space over the two sites and had to be ready for mass testing, so time was of the essence and was the best option to hire or purchase a temporary structure.

The Solution

Team Trafalgar prepared and presented three solutions to the Business Manager, with various options on a range of hire periods, as well as a purchase option. The client opted for a structure on hard standing, secured by anchor bolts and complete with Covid-19, compliant washable flooring.

The Results

  • Trafalgar moved quickly to install the structure and the team arrived on day one of the new term.
  • The structure was built within a day.
  • The announcement of a national lockdown came the following day, but fortunately, the structure remains in place for all key worker and vulnerable children and staff still attending the Academy.
  • The school’s Covid testing space was completely ready when the pupils went back on March 8th.
Marquee went up great today. Thank you for being so responsive

Fantastic support to us
Trafalgar Structures have been a fantastic support to us since we reopened after lockdown. The provision of a high quality marquee to help facilitate our opening strategy meant we could cater for adult and child classes whilst following the required government guidance. The service and workmanship from the team was first class and the team were always happy to help out if any issues arose and amendments to the marquee were needed. I look forward to working with the team again and would fully recommend for any marquee needs

The Lid on the Lawn
‘The Lid on the Lawn’ installed by Trafalgar Structures enabled us to reopen safely after the July 2021 easing of the government guidelines, within 10 days we had a fully operational table service outdoor restaurant. Such has been the successful transformation of the outside space, we have kept the marquee for a longer term hire. The demand for outdoor dining and eventing has increased exponentially and the marquee has enabled us to confidentially offer weather proof ‘outdoor events’. This is now a permanent fixture with an additional full takeaway facility for visitors to the estate. Team Trafalgar are always on hand and have also reacted extremely quickly to the last minute nature of corporate event enquiries. Many thanks.

I cannot find fault in anything they did

We used Trafalgar Structures at the start of lock down. We were very fortunate to be able to remain fully working however, as everyone did, we had to make some major adaptions on our site to accommodate the 2m distancing. I came across Trafalgar Structures and I found them to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and helpful. We had constant changes to the brief but that didn’t matter to James and his team, they were very accommodating and continued to be very helpful and help fulfil the works we required as well as give a lot of suggestions to make this work. The team that erected/ dismantled the marquee were extremely professional and friendly and helpful throughout the 2 days. I would highly recommend Trafalgar Structures and I would certainly use them again. I cannot find fault in anything they did. Thank you all so much for your help and guidance

Trafalgar Structures came to the rescue when the school needed additional outdoor teaching and testing facilities during the Covid pandemic. The cost of hire was extremely competitive and more than reasonable, particularly when you consider their services are much in demand. From the MD to the installers on the ground they were easy to deal with – nothing was too much trouble. Even last minute changes, and their after sales service was just as good. Its not every day you hire a marquee, but if I have to in the future, Trafalgar will be my first port of call. A huge thank you to James and the team!
