    Brief

    Opportunity to design and build a float for the Lord Mayor's Show, including event venue hire and refreshments provision. Suppliers should have experience in float design, construction, and event logistics. The successful supplier will need to create an eye-catching display that represents the values and vision of the Lord Mayor, manage the float's transportation to the event venue, arrange appropriate venue hire for float preparation and storage, and provide refreshments for the build team and event attendees. This is a complete turnkey service from initial concept through to parade participation.
