Roder UK, a leading supplier of temporary and permanent modular structures for events, sports and industrial storage, has delivered structures for the new Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Sandringham Flower Show.
Cambridgeshire-based Roder UK is providing over 10,000 square metres of temporary structures across the site for the Norfolk flower show, which takes place this week from 22-26 July,
Among the structures supplied are the show's Floral marquees, built in a T-shaped configuration to house the event's major floral attractions and provide the backdrop for what is expected to be one of the most photographed and visited areas.
Delivery to the site was carried out in partnership with Voltloader, whose fully electric haulage fleet completed 14 deliveries for the project.
The collaboration builds on a partnership first established for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show last year, where Roder UK and Voltloader worked together to cut delivery-related carbon emissions by nearly 66% compared to the previous year.
Current carbon emissions for the deliveries for the build element for RHS Sandringham are estimated to be around 550kg with Voltloader. This would have sat at around 1,596kg if a diesel truck had been used for the deliveries (all based on an average grid carbon intensity of 160g/kWh).
It reflects Roder's ongoing commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its logistics operations across the live events calendar.
Lee Dalton, Managing Director for Roder UK said: “The team has been working extremely hard to get the structures ready for RHS Sandringham, and we are sure it’s going to be fantastic. On a personal level, I am really proud to have continued our partnership with Voltloader. It’s been hugely important for us as a business to ensure we continue to commit to reducing our carbon footprint.”
Roder UK has supplied structures to the UK's live events sector for over 50 years, offering purchase, leasing and long-term rental options across a wide range of temporary and permanent structures.
