Event equipment rental company celebrates 50th anniversary
A Bristol-based event equipment rental company is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Established in 1973, Jongor Hire provides equipment solutions for event organisers, catering companies and hospitality businesses.
Over the years, the St Philip’s firm has worked on major public events – including the Chelsea Flower Show, Wimbledon Championships and Royal Ascot – to corporate functions and construction projects.
Jongor says it has the “widest” product category breadth of any catering equipment supplier in the UK.
Its equipment includes refrigeration and cold room storage, temporary kitchens, catering equipment, tableware, and furniture.

In 2020, the firm launched Temporary Kitchens units, which are shipping containers with everything found in a commercial kitchen that can be craned into place.
In 2022, Jongor was purchased by Bristol-based Nisbets, one of the largest suppliers to commercial kitchens across Europe.
“We are delighted to celebrate this momentous milestone in our company’s history,” said Joe Nisbet, company director.
“It is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our incredible team, as well as the trust and loyalty of our valued clients who have chosen Jongor Hire for their event and catering equipment needs year-in, year-out.
“We look forward to the next 50 years as we continue to innovate our way to success.”
As part of Jongor’s 50th anniversary celebrations, the firm held a birthday party for past and present colleagues.
It is also donating 50 extra special days of community service to local communities by supporting its colleagues to volunteer during work time.
