About us

A family business, since 1926

A small, professional team who would rather be known for looking after people than for being the biggest name in the county.

Shipseys is a long standing, family run business, founded in 1926. We pride ourselves in offering a personal, supportive service with our small and professional team, led by Rod and his son, Tim Shipsey.

The strong bond that we develop with customers has led to Shipseys being used by the same families for a variety of different events over the years, which makes our work even more rewarding.

Additionally we have strong links with several organisations in the area, and Shipseys marquees and equipment have been used by Wiltshire Wildlife, Dinton Jazz Festival, Salisbury Arts Festival, Salisbury Cathedral and Wiltshire Council.
