DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. SEE WHAT SOME OF OUR SATISFIED CUSTOMERS IN THE LICENSED TRADE SAY!!
The Codrington Arms, Yate, Nr Bristol
Mark and Helen Janes knew they had to do something for their smoking customers as soon as practicable prior to the ban.
After discussing their needs with Smoking Canopies Ltd they decided to install two Piccadilly canopies...
"…We wanted to show our smoking customers that we cared about them and that they mattered to us. Smoking Canopies were brilliant. Because they have so much experience of the pub trade they knew exactly what we needed and were there to help and advise along every step of the way…"
"…We think the canopies look fantastic. It has really created a stir amongst all of our customers not just the smokers but those that don't smoke as well…"

"…In my initial dealings with 'Smoking Canopies Ltd' I have found the product to be well constructed and seemingly durable. The design is simple but effective at providing shelter and protection from the elements. The installation process has been punctual and professional. I look forward to having further dealings with this company in the future.…"

"…Having discussed the impending smoking legislation with colleagues and retailers alike I would happily endorse the products outlined in the brochure submitted by Smoking Canopies. I believe Smoking Canopies' approach to be founded on their knowledge of the On trade as a whole. The solutions are based solely around the licensed "on trade" giving our retailers a well thought out and workable external area fulfilling all the requirements necessary to remain successful following the legislation. The example shown to our retailers and BRMs at our Race Day in Exeter was excellent and provided smokers with an area that was comfortable, warm and light. I would have no reservations in recommending Smoking Canopies to our retailers for their consideration.…"

"…Smoking Canopies Ltd recently presented to my regional team on the results and findings of a study trip, to Ireland, they undertook last year. All of my team were impressed with the depth of understanding and analysis that they demonstrated. It is clear that the product offering that Smoking Canopies have now included in their brochure has been specifically designed with these experiences and understandings in mind. In my view the key requirements for a Smoking Canopy must be:
- Fitness for purpose
- A warm and comfortable place for Smokers
- A positive business opportunity for the retailer
It would seem that Smoking Canopies have achieved these requirements in their products and I'm sure this is why they have already been successfully installed at a number of our region's pubs.…"
Kevin Georgel - Regional Ops Director, Punch Taverns
"…We have been involved with Smoking Canopies on numerous projects where our Company have been the Architects overseeing major refurbishment schemes. Their products are modular and of very high quality.
I feel that our designs have been well complimented by their canopies, the most recent in South Gloucestershire, involved decking together with built in seating and lighting feature.
Programming has not been an issue in any way with all of the projects being delivered on time and on budget. We will certainly be specifying Smoking Canopies in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them highly.…"
