We were honoured to be contacted by a well-known artist to support one of the UK’s most iconic commemorative art installations — Shrouds of the Somme, held on Remembrance Sunday. This powerful event paid tribute to the soldiers who fell during WWI, particularly at the Battle of the Somme. Our role was to provide a suitable ground protection solution that would allow safe and inclusive access for all visitors while preserving the integrity of the site.

To achieve this, we supplied approximately 450 square metres of Rola-Trac matting, chosen for its quick installation, non-slip surface, and drainage. The matting ensured smooth access for pedestrians, wheelchair users, and buggies alike.

The event was a tremendous success, and we were extremely proud to have played a part in such a meaningful and moving tribute.

Choosing to hire these products enabled the company to obtain the necessary support and ground protection for the event at a reduced cost, without compromising on quality. If you want to learn more about our services, head over to those pages or feel free to contact us!
