Hi, I'm Louis.
Co-Owner of Orange Grove Events.
I have worked in the events industry for 10 years. I began working for Holmsted Events when Fred first set it up and quickly realised how much I enjoyed the work and business. Wanting to learn more about the industry I went to University in Copenhagen where I studied Business Administration focusing on Hospitality and Events Management.
I returned to the UK and continued working for Holmsted Events with plans to start something myself. After looking at several options we agreed that Bell Tents worked perfectly for us and created Orange Grove Events in 2024.
Hi, I'm Fred.
Co-Owner of Orange Grove Events & Owner of Holmsted Events.
I have worked for over 24 years in the events industry. I started my career with a marquee company in Australia erecting large spaces for a national exhibition company. Coming home to the UK, I moved to a large events company in Manchester, specialising in marquees for weddings and other events. I returned to Kent in 2003 to work for the South East’s main supplier of marquees and event equipment and after a short time I moved up to manage their marquee division.
Seeing a gap in the market for alternative options to the usual frame marquees for weddings and events, I started Holmsted Events in. Initially we only supplied Tipis but have since started supplying Sail Cloth Marquees and more recently the Tree Marquee.
We set up Orange Grove Events in 2024 and intend to use all of our experience and expertise to provide you a fantastic product.
