Mercedes Sprinter Is Child’s Play For Party Organisers

It’s provided children’s entertainment at charity events in Downing Street but a Dorchester firm certainly wasn’t clowning around when it came to choosing its new van.

Crafty Arty Parties wanted a vehicle that would project an image of professionalism and quality – and settled on a strikingly-liveried Mercedes-Benz Sprinter from Poole dealer Pentagon Commercials.

The new Sprinter 213CDI Medium is now being used to transport Crafty Arty Parties staff and equipment to prestigious venues across Britain and Europe.

“We deal with the top end of the market so first impressions are absolutely essential,” insists Kitty Ebdon, founder and Director of the leading children’s events company. “It’s all about image, and the Mercedes-Benz reputation for quality and reliability complements perfectly the image we are trying to portray of our own business.”

Kitty launched Crafty Arty Parties in 2003, after spending five years as a party organiser for a royal family in the Middle East. The company employs 40 people and stages spectacular themed parties for the public and private sector. It numbers Harrods and major film companies among its list of high-profile clients, and recent assignments have included launch parties for smash-hit movies Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, Shrek 3 and Disney’s Enchanted.

“We’ve concentrated on targeting the corporate sector,” explains Kitty.. “It’s a huge market that just keeps on growing, and we’ve grown along with it.”

The new Sprinter is now working alongside Crafty Arty Parties’ three-year-old Mercedes Vito 111CDI Dualiner van. The company also plans to further expand its Mercedes van fleet by adding five more Sprinters this year.

Its latest van is certainly a head-turner thanks to its bright and breezy glitter graphics and metallic silver paintwork – the bumpers and side trims are colour-coded, while the van also features chrome side bars, alloy wheels and privacy glass all round.
