Book national exhibition centre hire equipment directly online. We supply commercial grade furniture to NEC stands with live vehicle tracking.
Exhibitors at the NEC require commercial grade equipment for their stands. Securing your national exhibition centre hire items online removes the need for phone calls and manual quotes. Expo Hire supplies professional event organisers, exhibition builders, and corporate teams with direct delivery to the venue. You see live stock levels and pricing immediately on our website, allowing you to plan your budget accurately.
Operating across twenty interconnected halls, this Birmingham complex hosts major trade shows and consumer expos. Navigating logistics at such a large site demands accurate timing. We dispatch orders from our primary Birmingham depot, based just miles away. On delivery day, you receive an SMS ETA and access to live vehicle tracking by order number and postcode. This system keeps your build schedule on track and prevents wasted time waiting at the loading bay.
Selecting the right furniture hire items dictates how visitors interact with your space. Compact shell scheme stands benefit from 120cm x 60cm folding tables, while larger space-only areas accommodate 180cm x 75cm models for product demonstrations. Tall poseur tables encourage informal networking. For seating, basic stacking chairs suit general use, bistro chairs create casual meeting points, and padded options support longer client discussions. You can browse our dedicated chair hire and table hire categories to match your specific layout.
The exclusive EventPro® range contains furniture we developed specifically for the hire trade, rather than retail use. Display plinths in 60cm or 30cm cube formats give you sturdy points for marketing materials. Literature racks organise brochures, and cloakroom rails hold staff coats during busy shifts. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, protecting you against accidental scratches or minor wear during the show. No other UK hire company includes this as standard.
Hospitality managers running stand receptions often need catering equipment hire alongside standard furniture. We supply independent caterers and corporate teams with commercial grade appliances. Booking large quantities of equipment requires no security deposit. Orders over £500 qualify for a 25% advance deposit option, helping you manage event budgets. Named clients like the BBC, ITV, HSBC, Cambridge University, and the Commonwealth Games trust our equipment for their major projects.
Standard delivery starts from £40 across the country, while delivery to the NEC incurs a flat £100 fee, simplifying your cost calculations for this major venue. Your order must reach a minimum value of £500 for this specific venue service. Our team handles the offload and places the items directly on your stand. After the event concludes, we collect everything from the same location. Finalise your national exhibition centre hire requirements today.

he National Exhibition Centre is located in Marston Green, Solihull close to both Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham International railway station. Opened in 1978, it has gone through various expansions and improvements to become the internationally renowned exhibition space it is today.
The NEC has a total of 20 interconnected halls offering a total of 190,000 square metres (2 million square feet) of floor space. There are 16,500 parking spaces spread out around the site, with a shuttle bus operating to and from all the car parks. Construction of the HS2 railway project will see a new railway station at Birmingham Interchange built close to the NEC and connected to the exhibition centre by a people mover.
Along with the Resorts World Arena, which is located on the NEC site, the National Exhibition Centre is operated by the NEC Group. The NEC Group also owns and operates Arena Birmingham and ICC Birmingham based in central Birmingham. Previously owned by Birmingham City Council, the NEC Group was sold to private investors in 2015 and is now owned by American investment company Blackstone.
