Beach days never last long enough – so we created one at Au Vodka HQ
It is not every day that a groundwork and plant hire company gets to help launch a brand new flavour for one of the UK’s most exciting drinks brands – but that is exactly what happened when TCS Plant Hire was invited to be a part of the Au Vodka Miami Mango launch event at the company’s headquarters in Llansamlet, Swansea. Au Vodka wanted to bring the spirit of Miami to South Wales, and that meant one thing – a beach. A proper one.
Using our plant and expertise in bulk material handling, TCS Plant Hire delivered and spread a significant quantity of sand across the Au Vodka car park, transforming the everyday space into a sun-soaked beach setting fit for the occasion. It was a unique, exciting and thoroughly enjoyable project – and a brilliant reminder that no job is too different for the TCS team.
As the images show, the transformation was quite something. What started as an ordinary car park at the Au Vodka headquarters in Llansamlet became an impressive beach setting – complete with generous depths of sand spread evenly across the entire area. The scale of the change speaks for itself, and it is a testament to what the right plant, the right materials and a well-organised team can achieve when the brief is anything but ordinary.
