England, of course, famously won the Ashes back in the summer of 2005 in one of the most exciting Test series in living memory. Before the series started most people wrote off their chances of beating the world number one team but despite losing the opening match at Lord’s, England went on to win the series 2-1.

Many people will say it was the performances of Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff or Kevin Pietersen that sealed the series win but we would like to think that it was actually the Kompak factor that made the difference.

We’d worked with the ECB in the past when we built a temporary cricket shop for them as part of the redevelopment work at Lord’s (see pics below) and as part of the Ashes campaign, in association with Vodafone, they ran the Cricket Roadshow which was a nationwide tour promoting the sport and asked us to get involved.

We built a 7 metre trailer which contained a state of the art mini-cinema where visitors were treated to a high tech interactive cricket experience.

The trailer also had storage for the outdoor portable nets where visitors could face the 90 miles per hour bowling machine or test the speed of their own bowling.

The Cricket Roadshow travelled all over the UK in the weeks leading up to the Ashes series and was a prominent feature at grounds during the matches themselves and the interest generated by the exhibition led to a new found fervour for the game which transferred itself into the stands. England captain Michael Vaughan often referred to the crowd as being England’s twelfth man so we like to think that it was our trailer which helped him lift the urn at the Oval.

Now this is all well and good when you’re selling smaller items but when it comes to selling boilers and similar large complex items to wholesalers and tradesmen, it’s not so easy. Add in the requirement of teaching skills upgrades to their range of installers and demonstrating a full working model requiring gas, pumped water and electricity in a windy car park, you can see that it would take something pretty out of the ordinary to achieve this.

That’s where the 5.6m Kompak Classic Maxi Promotor comes in.

This trailer manages to provide all these facilities as well as easy access, an on board galley, secure storage area and a huge area of sign writing and graphics for promoting brand awareness. All of this from a non HGV, non tachograph exhibition trailer that is easy to tow and set up.

The Classic Maxi Promotor has proved to be a versatile trailer for Vokèra. Not only can they take their product to their customers and train their boiler installers and merchants but they can also use it to publicise their services at exhibitions and trade shows.

The Cats Protection Charity 4×4 Land Rover evolved because of the requirement to traverse wet muddy soft ground with a mobile exhibition and fund raising facility. Not only does it achieve this it has self leveling hydraulic jacks built in to allow for uneven ground when setting up.

The brief was for a small, self contained go anywhere exhibition truck which was easy to set up and operate by one person.

If you happen to see a canary yellow Land Rover promotional vehicle half way up Snowdon, don’t be surprised!

This vehicle has a small built in office and storage space an on board generator and is equipped with plasma screen and PA system, it also comes with fold out branding boards and very distinctive paintwork.

We were asked by London PR Agency Beattie Communications to come up with a novel way of promoting their new client easyJet. They wanted us to build a mobile sauna complete with smoke effects, lighting hot coals, internal benches and lighting to transport a team of scantily clad models around London and they wanted it within the week.

Amid much whining by the guys in the warehouse, we cracked open another industrial sized tub of midnight oil and worked through the night to produce the 5 metre long PR trailer in time for the product launch. Oddly enough, finding someone to drive the tow vehicle and 15 seater minibus to transport the partially clothed models around London wasn’t quite as difficult…

The mobile sauna proved to be a big success as you can see by watching this video of the event on YouTube.

Further to my conversation with Mark this morning, I wanted to pass on a big thank you to the team for the fantastic job you did building and transporting the sauna around London for us. We were really pleased with the end result - particularly within the tight deadlines we gave you!
Amy Garbutt - Beattie Communications

The truck in question had been in use for many years at Goodwood Motor Circuit as a snack bar but it was in need of a complete refit to bring it up to current health and safety regulations. Having been in active service for over sixty years, the old girl needed some tender love and attention which the owners knew she would get from our experienced vehicle refit team.

After carefully removing all of the old fixtures and fittings, we set about making sure Betsy (yes - we ended up giving her a name) was structurally up to the job. A little bit of sanding here, a spot of welding there and Betsy was ready for us to install a complete new interior including brand, spanking new catering equipment.

Betsy is now back in place at Goodwood so the next time you’re there, say hello to the old dear but don’t spill any coffee on the counter. It took us ages cleaning that!

In fact, the chances are that when you see a coffee vending kiosk at a bus or train station, on the Underground or at an airport, there’s a good likelihood that it’s a Kompak kiosk.

When required by health and safety and building regulations, we build our coffee kiosks using fire retardant materials as well as complying with the associated criteria for use in a public space.

Next time you’re sipping a cappuccino at a busy train station, raise your frothy mug in our direction!

The kiosk you see pictured here is a small snack bar positioned next to a covered walkway. Since being installed, has improved the take up of school dinners by 25% and overall income from food on campus by 38% simply by streamlining the busy lunch period with an extra facility not available within the main building.

All our temporary and movable structures have been designed and built to comply with local authority and health and safety regulations. They are easy to move and use and can incorporate all types of catering equipment for hot and cold food, snacks and drinks. They have also been used for storage, changing rooms, reception and admin offices.

We have supplied various kiosks to the London Underground, BAA, The Navy (HMS Victory) as well as schools in Hampshire, West and East Sussex, Kent and many more. If you’re looking for a kiosk, give us a call and make use of our depth of experience, free design and advice.

Primarily for use as a mobile catering unit, it was 3m x 2m and featured a rear access door, an opening food serving canopy to the offside and a full length ‘Gastrowell’ safety glass curved display screen to the serving counter.

The interior of the catering kiosk was fitted with a stainless worktop food serving counter with shelves and cupboards underneath, a Lincat hot cupboard along with a 2 door Lincat undercounter fridge, water heater, concealed sink, ceiling extractors and a Gamko glass fronted sliding door can and bottle chiller.

The unit proved to be very versatile used not only as a mobile catering kiosk but also for use as a food vending unit at exhibitions.

With years of experience designing and manufacturing mobile catering kiosks, we’re ideally placed to..ahem..cater to your every need. Give us a call on 01243 513550 to discuss your requirements.
