The Awning Company, from which The Tipi Company was born, has manufactured structures for the outdoor events industry for over 40 years. Since 1983, we have supplied tents and awnings to a variety of markets including major Motorsport teams, hospitality brands, and utility and emergency businesses to name a few. We have worked with a number of worldwide influential brands including Red Bull, Coca-Cola, Nivea, Peugeot, Dulux, Tissot Watches, Abu Dhabi, Mini, Honda, Williams, Old El Paso, and Virgin.
Myself, my passion is innovation and invention and I’m constantly engineering new ideas on how we can stay the No.1 Tipi Manufacturer. Over recent years, we’ve seen our clients gradually push the boundaries more; wanting something different for their outdoor event. And this desire is essentially the seed that blossomed. I grew up embracing the great outdoors with camping trips, riding horses, and organising the best outdoor events for our friends and family to enjoy. And I’m no different today!
Every time though, the worry of rain overshadowed the build-up to the parties! I started to think “Wouldn’t it be great if we could be outside with some sort of temporary weather protection overhead while taking in the scenery?”. It was only after going on a camping trip with my grandson that the penny dropped. Tipi tents were the answer!
We are the No.1 provider of awnings in the UK and the only manufacturer of large event tipis in the UK. We’re proud to have been awarded the Made in Britain marque – proof that our products are made right here at our TipiHQ in Greater Manchester,, by our experienced team of craftsmen and women. We have a dedicated team who deal with our After-Sales and Repair Service customers too. It’s great for us to be able to offer a service that not only provides you with what you want but assists you every step of the way – before, during, and after you have invested. My aim was to create something unique and original and together with my team, I believe we have achieved it!”
