Serving some of the most prestigious events on the calendar, Ultra Ice prides itself on its tailored approach to supplying each event with confidence.
From a complete supply and manned storage package, to a 'just in time' delivery to your event, Ultra Ice will work with you to ensure that this small part of your event runs smoothly.
The product usually most suited for events is our 12Kg bag which holds a fully graded, high quality product with the minimum of ice chips to ensure maximum yield.
Large Coldroom to chest freezer storage can be temporarily provided on site either directly from Ultra Ice or via our recommended supplier – Ice House Hire Ltd. www.icehousehire.co.uk
Depending on your event, we will come to visit you and the site and ascertain the ice requirements. We will then work with you to provide a complete package to ensure that this small part of your event runs without a hitch, or even require your involvement on the day.
Case study: FMC at the Wimbledon Championships
For Wimbledon, we supply 15 storage units conveniently located on and just off site. These range from a regular chest freezers, to two 8’x8’ walk-in freezers. Deliveries occur at 5am daily, where our crew fill all of the units on site. After the initial delivery, two of our team remain on site all day to ensure that all ice storage is constantly re-stocked. In 2008 the total ice used for the 14 day event was 85 tonnes.
Case study: Gay Pride, Brighton
Each year by arrangement we take a full 12 tonnes of product and sprinter van to the event site in Brighton. We locate our freezer lorry for the day on site to store ‘just in case’ product and use our van to distribute ice to the many food and drink stalls across the 10 acre event.
Case study: Cricket at MCC, Lords
At Lords and under a supply agreement, we have permanently located freezers for the specific storage of ice. Depending on the game or event, deliveries are ordered the previous day and made before 7am to site. This flexibility is a reflection of the unpredictable nature of the games due to a quickly finished match, or rain stopping play.
