World Inspired Tents have done it again, and scooped another award, this time for the ‘best marquee supplier’ for the South West region in the 2012 Wedding Industry Awards.

The Wedding Industry Awards scheme was set up by award-winning wedding photographer Damian Bailey. What makes the awards special is that they are the first fully independent scheme to officially recognise the very best suppliers in the industry. Suppliers are nominated entirely by their customers with no influence from external or partisan sponsors. This results in a much more meaningful set of awards.

The initial nomination came as a complete surprise to the team at World Inspired Tents. They only found out when an email arrived to tell them that they had been nominated. Unbeknown to them, a bride who used World Inspired Tents for her wedding in Devon this summer nominated them for the award.

Following their nomination, and in order to be considered for short listing, World Inspired Tents had to spread the word and ask previous couples who used their tipis if they would consider voting for them. The response was fantastic. Not only did the votes come flooding in but previous clients sent in personal emails to the World Inspired office, reminding them why the tipis and their service helped make their day so special.

Ed Wright, MD of World Inspired Tents said; “the support and feedback we received from our clients was incredible. We are extremely grateful to everyone who voted for us.”

This will be the second time World Inspired Tents have scooped an award in the last two years. They won the West Country Wedding Award in 2010 for Best Marquee Supplier in the South West.

World Inspired Tents along with every other regional winner will go to the national awards ceremony in London on the 18th of January 2012, where the overall winner from each category will be picked.

Ed says “To be awarded the regional winner is something all of us at World Inspired Tents are hugely proud of. We’re very excited to be invited to the national award ceremony.”
