Press Release Summary: When Warwick Castle staged a medieval encampment for 5,000
children, organising shower and toilet facilities were one of the main concerns.
Looking for top quality washroom amenities, they turned to Portaloo, one of the UK's
top temporary toilet providers for a solution.

Press Release Body: One of the UK's top tourist attractions, Warwick Castle, staged
a medieval encampment for 5,000 US children over a three-month period during last
summer. The children had the privilege of camping out in the beautiful grounds of
this impressive, historic castle for one night, which required the provision of
complete shower and toilet facilities for the young guests and their adult leaders
in the castle grounds. The guests were paying a premium price for this unique
experience, so high-quality washroom amenities were required.

Jamie Charlesworth, Operations Manager at Warwick Castle, explains: "I was aware of
the reputation of Portaloo as a major provider of temporary toilets. When we met
with the Hire Centre team we found that they were able to provide everything we
wanted in terms of service and quality of facilities."

Warwick Castle's medieval encampment would be hosting as many as 200 children at a
time, and Portaloo recommended the size of washroom facilities suitable for this
volume of people.

Portaloo supplied eight high-quality toilet and shower units, on hire for three
months. These included male, female and disabled persons' toilet blocks, three
shower blocks for children, and two toilet and shower units for the adult leaders.
These were supplied by Portaloo complete with water browsers to overcome the
water-pressure difficulties on site, along with an automatic cut-off system to
prevent overflows.

The timescale for getting the shower and toilet facilities in place was very tight.
However, Portaloo delivered everything on the agreed date, in line with its unique
Customer Charter promise to provide all temporary buildings on time and on budget.
For complete peace of mind, Portaloo even promises that if it ever fails to meet
this commitment it will provide a week's free hire for every day it is late.*

The delivery of the temporary shower and toilet units required careful planning and
had to be carried out to a strict schedule to avoid disruption during Warwick
Castle's opening hours. The installation also demanded a highly sensitive craning
operation to ensure that no damage was caused to this Grade 1 listed landscape.

Jamie Charlesworth adds: "We were very happy with the as-new quality of the
facilities from Portaloo, which certainly fulfilled our brief to deliver
premium-standard amenities. They performed well throughout the summer and handled
the high-volume use with no problems.

"The service from the Portaloo Hire Centre was excellent. They provided support
throughout the project and were very responsive to any requests from us. We are
planning to hold an even bigger encampment event next year, and we will certainly
return to Portaloo for our temporary toilet facilities."
