<h2>What Expo Hire does</h2>
<p>Expo Hire covers the working equipment behind events. That includes <a href="/hire/furniture">Furniture Hire</a>, <a href="/hire/catering-equipment">Catering Equipment Hire</a>, <a href="/hire/glassware">Glassware Hire</a>, <a href="/hire/crockery">Crockery Hire</a>, <a href="/hire/cutlery">Cutlery Hire</a>, <a href="/hire/linen">Linen Hire</a> and outdoor event stock.</p>
<p>The site suits one-off orders and repeat trade work. A venue can hire a few extra tables for a busy date. A caterer can build a temporary kitchen. A corporate team can order conference seating, bars and glassware for the same event.</p>
<hr>
<h2>Where Expo Hire operates</h2>
<p>Expo Hire runs from Birmingham and uses 11 depots across England and Wales. The network lets the business cover exhibition venues, conference centres, racecourses, festival sites, universities, arenas, hotels and temporary event spaces across the delivery area.</p>
<p>Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT and is based on distance from the nearest depot. Standard hire runs for 3 days: delivery day, event day and collection day. Expo Hire delivers and collects seven days a week, including Sunday runs.</p>
<hr>
<h2>Who uses Expo Hire</h2>
<p>Expo Hire's main customer groups are caterers, venue teams, event organisers, exhibition contractors, corporate events teams, charities, universities, schools, councils and hospitality operators. The work is commercial and operational first. Private customers can hire, but the core market is business and institutional buying.</p>
<p>The <a href="/sectors-we-serve">Sectors We Serve</a> hub and the <a href="/public-sector">Public Sector</a> pages show that mix in more detail. The same delivery model works across a council election setup, a corporate awards dinner, an exhibition stand build or a festival catering compound.</p>
<hr>
<h2>Event track record</h2>
<p>Expo Hire's event history includes supply linked to Glastonbury, Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix. The business also serves exhibitions, university exam contracts, conferences, charity dinners and public events where timing and stock depth matter as much as price.</p>
<p>That track record shapes the service model. Orders are checked before payment, stock arrives clean and tested, and the site supports mixed baskets that combine furniture, catering equipment and tableware in one run.</p>
<hr>
<h2>EventPro and Expo Direct</h2>
<p>Much of the furniture hire stock sits inside the <a href="/about-us/eventpro">EventPro</a> range, which Expo Hire developed for repeated commercial use. Customers who want to own the same stock outright can buy it through <a href="https://www.expodirect.co.uk">Expo Direct</a>, the sister business that handles permanent purchase.</p>
<p>That link between hire and ownership matters for venues, caterers and event companies that switch between short-term hire and long-term stock ownership depending on the job.</p>
<hr>
<h2>How ordering works</h2>
<p>Customers build the order on the website, choose the delivery and collection dates, enter the postcode and check out once the basket is right. The process suits buyers who want clear pricing without a long quotation cycle.</p>
<p>If the order needs a second check, call 0800 910 1100 from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. You can also move from this page into <a href="/services">Event Hire Services</a>, <a href="/about-us/company-history">Our Story</a>, <a href="/about-us/contact-us">Contact Us</a> and <a href="/venues">Venues</a> for more detail.</p>
