Exhibition Hire: Getting the Most from Your Stand

The exhibition season brings busy times at Expo Hire, with vans delivering exhibition hire to events and trade shows across the region. We have spent considerable time adding new ranges of designer furniture and event equipment to make exhibition stands look their best.

Exhibition Hire: Value for Money

We know how important exhibitions are for business. They are a once-a-year opportunity to make an impression, win new business and build your network of clients, customers and partners. A stand that stands out and makes a strong first impression is a large part of that, which is where we come in.

We have sourced exhibition hire equipment to help our customers' stands reach their potential. Prices are kept as competitive as possible so that your budget goes further. We offer a wide range of display cabinets to showcase products and services, along with exhibition furniture to make meetings with delegates comfortable.

Display Equipment for Your Stand

Our exhibition showcases are lockable glass display cabinets suited to displaying products, samples, awards or promotional materials. They come with internal lighting and adjustable shelves, and are designed for easy positioning on a stand without tools.

Available in upright and counter-height formats, they work either as standalone display units or as a structured display run along the back of a stand. Counter-height showcases double as a surface for leaflets, brochures or a laptop, which makes them practical for stands where staff are presenting to visitors throughout the day.

For stands requiring a more open display, pedestals and plinths at various heights suit single objects or small collections. These work well for product launch stands, design studios or any application where a product needs to be the centre of attention without being enclosed in glass.

Exhibition Stand Layout Ideas

Stand layout affects how visitors approach and interact with you. A few layout approaches worth considering:

• Open front, closed back: Place display cabinets and signage at the back and sides, with seating and a meeting table towards the front. This creates an open invitation to enter the stand without forcing visitors to walk past staff to leave.
• Counter and lounge split: Use a counter-height showcase or poseur table at the front for initial conversations, with a lower seating area at the rear for longer meetings. This separates quick enquiries from in-depth discussions.
• Product-focused: If you are launching or demonstrating a physical product, build the layout around it. A central plinth or showcase with seating around it draws visitors in and keeps the product the focal point throughout the day.

Our exhibition furniture range includes chairs tables and poseur tables suited to all three layouts. If you have a specific brief, contact us before placing your order and we can advise on what works best.

Exhibition Hire: A Service Commitment

Exhibitions are stressful. The last thing anyone needs is something going wrong with their exhibition stand furniture, or uncertainty about when it is going to arrive.

All exhibition hire equipment dispatched by us is cleaned, checked and tested before leaving the warehouse. Our experience at major exhibition venues means we know our way around most halls and can deliver directly to your stand. We offer fixed-price carriage charges to most major exhibition centres, which take into account timed deliveries and collections within set-up and breakdown windows. You do not need to be present for delivery: as long as we have your hall and stand number, we can deliver and send photographic confirmation.

Exhibition Hire: Placing Your Order

All pricing and availability is shown online. Add products to your basket, and include the show name, hall and stand number at checkout so we can deliver directly to you. Payment can be made online by credit or debit card.

For larger organisations where budget sign-off is required, it is possible to generate a quote at the end of the checkout process, with indicative pricing and availability confirmed. Stock is live on our system, so log back into your quote before placing your order to confirm everything is still available.

For orders over £500 placed more than 28 days before delivery, we offer a 25% deposit scheme. Select this option at checkout to take advantage.

If your exhibition hire requirements are complex, multiple day hire, large quantities, or equipment across more than one stand, contact us via live chat or email and we will work through the details with you.
