Today we’d like to introduce you to Adekemi Adeleye.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Hello, thank you for reaching out, my name is Mrs. Adekemi Adeleye, owner of Bolkem Event Decor & Rentals and also, owner of Grandeur Event Center located in Columbus/Dayton, Ohio. My husband and I started the business a few years ago from our basement.
Bolkem event rentals were founded in December 2019. Since it has grown into a full-service rental company that helps make clients’ dreams a reality.
In the last 2 years, the company has grown in scale, with Bola & Kemi bringing their own personalities into the culture at Bolkem event rentals.
Kemi & Bola are an integral part of the team as the customer success Lead, speaking with excited clients and taking inventory orders with a mixture of part-time and on-call employees.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Smooth road…. Lol…. Not at all. A few of the challenges we face are…
Tracking Rental Equipment Availability.
Managing Complex Bookings & Pricing Models.
Maintaining Equipment.
Delivering Amazing Customer Service.
Daily physical activity.
Never a dull moment
Lack of employees.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We started an event rental and decor company that led us to a Banquet venue/Hall. Grandeur Event Center is a lavish space that is an indoor and outdoor event venue with panoramic city views. Our high-end venue with experienced staff will assist from venue decor to the smallest details entailed in making memories of a lifetime.
Simply Decor and Events ensures exclusive decor and thrives to bring your event to life through customized, elegant decor for all of their clients. The full-service company will individually work with every client to design an event that will intrigue every eye in the room. Our company is broad that we get many different types of customers and we make many great connections with them as well.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
Good customer service.
