Andrea Guzzoni, tech entrepreneur and CEO of Rentuu, said: “Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for us, as we receive orders for products very early in the year to help businesses organise their Christmas parties. This year, we’ve seen a higher number of office event planners get in touch to try and create a bespoke event for their team with rentals such as Grab a Grand game, arcade games and photo booths.”
“However, the Rentuu team will also be ready for the last-minute planners who will be hoping to make an impact with late rentals for the office parties. It’s one of the biggest events of the year, so we have to ensure we’re ready!”
Rentuu is committed to shifting behaviours to renting over buying, keeping costs low and helping the environment too.
