Where We Installed Our Canopies in 2024

At Able Canopies, we take pride in delivering high-quality commercial canopies across the UK, providing essential shelter solutions for schools, hospitals, retail spaces, and other commercial sectors. As we reflect on 2024, we’re excited to share some insights into the areas where we installed our school canopies and all commercial canopies throughout the year.
Expanding Our Reach Across the UK
Last year, we installed canopies in 35 counties across the UK. With a total of 63 counties on our map, this means we covered an impressive 56% of the country with our expert canopy installations.
The Top Three Canopy Installation Locations
From bustling cities to rural communities, our team worked tirelessly to provide custom canopy solutions tailored to the needs of our clients. The top three counties where we installed the most canopies in 2024 were:
- London – As the capital and a hub for educational institutions, businesses, and healthcare facilities, London saw the highest number of canopy installations with 13% of total orders received. The demand for school canopies and outdoor covered areas in retail and hospitality settings contributed significantly to this figure.
- West Midlands – Coming in second, the West Midlands demonstrated a strong need for durable commercial canopies, particularly in schools, universities, and public sector projects. We installed 11% of our total canopies installed in the West Midlands in 2024. With its mix of urban and suburban locations, the region benefitted from a variety of our shelter solutions.
- Essex – 8% of our total orders coming from our home county, making Essex the third most popular location for our canopy installations;. With schools, businesses, and public areas all requiring weather-resistant canopies, our team was busy ensuring local customers received high-quality outdoor solutions.
A Nationwide Effort
While London, the West Midlands, and Essex topped the list, our installations spanned the UK, helping businesses and public facilities create more usable outdoor spaces. Our team worked in a diverse range of locations, ensuring that communities from the north to the south could benefit from our reliable canopy solutions.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2025, we look forward to expanding our reach even further. With continued demand for school canopies, commercial canopies, and bespoke shelter solutions, we’re excited to bring our expertise to even more locations across the UK.
Stay tuned for more insights and statistics throughout the year as we continue to enhance outdoor spaces nationwide!
