There are many people involved in the development, manufacture and delivery of Tentipi's products and services. We can't list them all, here are just a few...
Bengt Grahn
Founder and CEO of Tentipi, the guy who invented the Nordic Tipi concept.
His innovative idea to make a tipi where the sides could raise up led to the formation of an industry that has spread around the world.
Bengt still runs Tentipi today, and continues to innovate.
Roger Rimpi
It is Roger who first ran events in linked Nordic Tipis, a real pioneer in the early days. He created some spectacular structures that inspired others around the world.
He's a Sami guy based in Jokkmokk, far in the north of Sweden. Alongside renting snowmobiles and cars, he has been renting and selling Tentipi tents for nearly 20 years.
Jon Parr
Jon brought the first Stratus™ to the UK in early 2005 and founded the first full-time rental business in the world using Tentipi Nordic Tipis. He refined the linking techniques, wrote our FieldReady™ Training Programme, and is responsible for our structural calculations.
Jon also holds a voluntary position as President of MUTA, the trade association responsible for tents and marquees in the UK, concerned with driving up standards across the industry.
Richard Persson
Richard is behind many of the recent innovations in our Nordic Tipi range.
TipiStar™, The Viking, SmartPitch™ and the In-Tent Vent™ smoke cap all have his handiwork behind them.
Ed Wright
Ed is the guy who first developed our business outside of Europe. He’s helped customers in North and South America, Australasia and the Middle East.
His many years' experience running a rental business using our Event range means he's perfectly positioned to help customers get the most from their investment.
