Marquee Hire is a company that has grown from a small idea into a successful enterprise with James Morris heading up the team. James saw the opportunity for marquee rental in Surrey and realised the potential. This young entrepreneur started with one marquees for hire and soon added many to his collection. Read about the recent interview for the South East Business Magazine.

We’re delighted to be featured over two pages in the South East Business magazine with our Managing Director, James Morris profiled in The Boss slot.

This mentions our values of ‘quality and expertise’ and ‘the speedy rise of Trafalgar Marquees with the impressive list of clients extending to The Army, MoD, the German Embassy in London, The Royal Society and Hyatt Hotels’. In her editorial, the Editor, Christine Rayner praises James’s ‘self-discipline, foresight and sheer bravado’ in setting up his business as a student, which was ‘a bold risk-taking step. It must have taken nerve to do so, yet it has paid off handsomely’.

Much of the work, he admits, involves “emotional occasions” such as weddings, funerals and high-profile business gatherings. And this requires careful pre-event discussions, to ensure Trafalgar provides what is required.

Wedding marquee hire is on the rise as they offer a more affordable and flexible wedding option and the same goes for party marquee hire.

No job is considered too big or too small. James and his team of 10 permanent staff (which can rise to 35 in the busy summer season) are happy to consider any approach for business, even the niche roles such as providing cover for part of the major residential and retail complex Number One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge, when there was a water leak.

The rain in Spain (and France) can be a pain

One of the joys of running DIY Marquees is I get to chat to people from geographical areas that I have no experience of. When I ran a marquee hire business the area we covered was as compact as we could make it (for obvious logistical reasons) so it’s great hearing about other people’s experiences especially if it’s something I can share to others on this blog.

It’s fair to say that France and other parts of Europe have had a bit of rain recently. Torrential rain is always a headache in the marquee industry, it’s a pain dealing with wet equipment and a party is always better in the sun than rain.

From a waterproofing point of view rain shouldn’t be an issue however the weakest point will always be a join -this is why nearly all DIY marquees use roofs that are all in one piece. Providing guttering has been fitted correctly and tested then it should cope with all but the most extremes of downfalls.

Something that has been highlighted in discussions with some customers in both France and Spain recently is what about the run off from other buildings? Whilst most houses in the UK have guttering that is often not the case in other parts of Europe or even on outbuildings or barns here in the UK.

If you are putting a marquee up against any building then it is always wise to look at what would happen if it rained – could the water run off the building? If so where will it go? Could it overload a guttering system (theirs or yours)? If you use roofs that come in sections (as I say, our main marquees don’t have this problem) then will this compromise the waterproof integrity of the join?

In relation to how often this situation may arise this is a minor issue, it is however something you as a professional marquee hirer should be aware of, it is much better to learn from our experience or those of our customers rather than make the same mistake yourself.

If in doubt then as always, take some photographs and email them to us – we’ll happily advise as best we can.

What is sex therapy?

“What is sex therapy ?” can herald many answers as sexual health is a vast subject with many sub divisions based on the nature of the instigated issue. Sex therapy covers both genders healing any obstacle that inhibits one from enjoying sexual pleasure. The best form of sex therapy is Tantric therapy as it focuses on healing past trauma by harvesting sexual energy by cultivating it to open up all 7 chakras in the body for inner connection and inter connection. The most intimate and precise form of sex therapy for women is a Yoni massage, which is an ancient Tantric art that has been carried into the years to disperse sexual boundaries to attain pleasure and procreation. A Yoni massage is an intricately detailed massage concentrated on the vagina (Yoni) of the woman to remove energetic blockages that can hinder a woman from enjoying sexual pleasure. It peels away years of trauma called body armoring that has shut down the sexual energetic channel to the Yoni. It is the best form of Tantric therapy for women to release negative traumatic imprints. A Yoni massage can also be learnt by a partner in a relationship to give his or her lover as a form of detox and negative cleanse, that builds love, trust and intimacy. Taking into consideration the sensitive nature of the massage it can only be practiced and gained optimum results when at a safe platform. Therefore the gesture and performing a Yoni massage as Tantric therapy itself creates love and sacredness in a relationship through the basis of trust.

“What is sex therapy ?” is a frequent generic question as sexual health issues can vary in many ways. The general form of sex therapy is to cure the inability to experience sexual pleasure generally assumed due to physical dysfunctions. But there is another side to sex therapy in the form of Tantric therapy Yoni massage in order to refresh one’s energetic system to create a balance in life within oneself and others. This type of therapy can be used to re-align oneself from time to time or to tighten the bonds of intimacy in a relationship.

Tantric therapy is ideal for couples who would like to improve their relationship. A relationship is the bringing together of two individuals with two different lives that carry past traumas, insecurities, fears and irrational reasoning. Therefore Tantric Couple Counselling a form of Tantric Therapy that employs a Yoni massage and is the most best suitable method to sculpt the love energy needed in a relationship.

Relationships never take a smooth form automatically; relationships are growing bonds that need constant nip and tucks to attain a suitable form. Therefore Tantric Couple Counselling a form of Tantric Therapy helps resolve issues in a relationships such as betrayal, hurt, break ups, incompatibility, trust issues, sexual displeasure and dysfunction. Many of these emotional issues can hinder a woman from connecting with her partner to express sexual pleasure therefore the sacred Yoni massage can help remove these negative psychological barriers to regain the tenacity of the relationship filled with love, trust and intimacy.

The Western culture is booming with the growing number of people opting alternative medicine for its harmless nature. The health industry is a multimillion industry that thrives on chemical healing that sometimes leaves drastic side effects throwing off the balance of nature. Therefore sex therapy in the form of Tantric therapy is a sought after to heal through the release of negative emotions instead of chemical therapy. Most illness are a result of accumulated emotional pain that manifest as physical pain that can be treated with alternative therapy such Yoni massages.

Choosing to treat oneself with medication (chemical healing) can disrupt the body’s natural flow of chemical thus making it dependent on medication to heal. There are many toxins found in medications that cause the immune system to become addictive to medication thus making the body chemically dependent. Such toxins can cause fatal diseases if accumulated over time, emotional instability and sicknesses and drastic changed in normal functioning of life. And can also lead to sexual dysfunction lowering sexual appetite through the imbalance of hormones.

Tantric treatment for couples is a well sought therapy by couples to build connection emotionally and physically.  Most couples who seek for Tantric therapy are hoping to build more intimacy and trust through the art of love making. Some relationships are plagued by past trauma accumulated within time or from previous relationships.

Tantra is weaving the spiritual body, emotional body and the physical body in order to connect to the divine source energy to attain a state of bliss and happiness. Therefore, I work as a meditator assisting the weaving by removing stagnant negative emotions and energy blocks and physical blocks stored as toxins in the body. Tantra London is an upcoming trend as it is more accepting to blend Eastern remedies with modern therapies. As controversial as it sounds vaginal massage helps in the release of restraints in a relationship. As a woman’s Yoni (vagina in Sanskrit) is the store house of trauma in the form of emotions in the body.

Tantra London is becoming to grow more available as therapeutic measure but many do not hold the healing essence of the Tantra teachings as they are only intended for pleasure, but whereas the essence of Tantric vaginal massage is to heal and connect to higher source energy to live at optimum. Thus the misconception of Tantra arises mostly due to the lack of substance in the available therapies.  Tantric Journey aims to help women and couples in London to heal therefore contributing less to the cycle of depression, violence, crimes, unexpected pregnancies, welfare and women’s health.

I help the client to remove negative stagnant emotions in the cellular memory in the body’s cells that block the positive energy flow (positive emotions) that contribute to positive experiences. Tantric vaginal massage honors women and womanhood. Tantric treatment for couples teaches women self-respect and the most precious jewel for a woman – self –respect; that brings about self-discipline and self-confidence. Also self-esteem is expected as it teaches her to create her own safe circle allowing experiences that only nourish her.

Tantric Journey Bodywork Tantric treatment for couples can be set apart from many standard Tantric vaginal massages as every client I treat has always had near 100% success rate in healing. As I mentioned before, the Tantric Journey Bodywork is not purely intended for pleasure, the vaginal massage is performed to heal past trauma such as sexual abuse, physical abuse and psychological abuse that is stored in the body’s cellular memory. Tantra is weaving the spiritual body, emotional body and the physical body in order to connect to the divine source energy to attain a state of bliss and happiness.

Also to address the main concern and common myth about “Tantric sex can entice appetites that can lead to orgies” and dismantling of relationships; it is wise to know Tantra does not advocate in indulging uncontrollable sexual desires or orgies. Tantric treatments for couples through a vaginal massage in fact teaches couples to control  sexual desires and channel it to a higher purpose – the higher purpose being love. Tantric sex is about being conscious of the person you are connecting with, asking permission to touch or kiss or express sexual desire in other ways.

Tantra lovers take time to soul gaze where they connect with the essence of the person they are going to make love to by opening up all their chakras and communicating to create a safe platform so that the power of excitement can be transformed into love.

Therefore as we have been able to shed light into this common myth we can deduce that Tantra in London and Tantric sex is beneficial to us – in a world where connectivity is lacking despite growing digital age.
