About:          Whilst studying for his undergrad and postgraduate degrees, Kieran had a summer job for one of the South East largest Tipi companies. During his time here he worked his way up through the ranks of  part-time crew member to full-time crew-leader and it was over these six seasons that he learnt and developed his passion for all things canvas and tents!

“Here at Great British Bell Tents,  we are a small (but perfectly formed!) family business and generally only cater for one wedding per weekend, so you can be assured that you will have our undivided attention on the lead up to your big day!
