Gala Tent Ltd started life in September 1999 and now sells over 5 million of tents and accessories each year through its showroom, mail order, telephone sales and online shopping. The company was in the vanguard of online retailing and has maintained an active e-commerce website since May 2000. In addition to direct sales to the general public, Gala Tent Ltd is also the preferred contract supplier for many hire companies, councils and branches of the emergency services and the military. All our products carry the Gala brand name and the company retains full control over design, specification, and manufacture: retaining control means our designs evolve quickly in response to customer feedback. With over 50,000 square feet of storage space fitted throughout with high-bay racking, Gala Tent Ltd has the largest stock of tents, marquees, shades and accessories in Europe. This commitment to stock means any order placed before 3pm is despatched the same working day. Gala Tents four guiding principles have remained the same from the day I founded the company in 1999. Firstly, provide customers with a quality product at a competitive price. Secondly, listen to customers and act on their advice. Thirdly, design and develop innovative products, identifying new markets. Fourthly, work ceaselessly to make the Gala Tent buying experience as simple, transparent and enjoyable as possible.
