Planning a corporate conference or a large-scale private function requires commercial-grade equipment. Expo Hire supplies professional organisers with borehamwood event hire services, delivering furniture hire and catering equipment hire directly to venues across Hertfordshire. We stock thousands of items in our regional depots, giving you access to live inventory and transparent pricing online. You skip the phone calls and secure your dates instantly. We calculate delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our nearest depot to your site. We operate 11 regional depots across England and Wales, supported by our primary Birmingham headquarters, giving us the logistical capacity to handle multiple large-scale events simultaneously.
Borehamwood Event Hire for Corporate and Private Functions
Corporate functions dominate the local calendar due to the town's proximity to London and its strong business presence. Organisers setting up product launches, staff parties, and industry conferences rely on our inventory to furnish their spaces. You can order our classic banqueting chairs to seat hundreds of delegates. We stock these with high-density foam seat pads and heavy-duty aluminium frames, stacking up to 10 high for space-saving transport. Alongside seating, our dining and conference tables provide flat, stable surfaces for notes, laptops, and catering. These feature 15mm exterior-grade plywood tops and folding steel legs, supporting heavy loads without buckling.
We supply equipment to specific local venues and hospitality businesses. Organisers hosting golf days or gala dinners at the Aldenham Golf Club order our 6ft circular tables, which seat up to 10 guests each. For corporate gatherings at hotels like the DoubleTree by Hilton Hertford, buyers select our clear Chiavari chairs to maintain a neutral, professional aesthetic. Buyers planning events at the Barn at Wrotham Park select our beech wishbone chairs to complement the rustic interior architecture. We list all dimensions and live stock levels on our website, allowing you to plan your floor space.
Furniture for Exhibitions and Networking
Elstree Studios and surrounding commercial spaces host industry expos and networking evenings throughout the year. These formats require specific layouts to manage foot traffic and encourage interaction. You can build registration areas and product demonstration zones using our exhibition furniture, which includes modular counters and literature racks. For individual stallholders, our 4ft and 6ft display tables provide immediate merchandising space.
Evening receptions benefit from our LED furniture. These battery-powered, illuminated units operate for up to 10 hours on a single charge, providing both practical surfaces and ambient lighting. You control the colour settings via a wireless remote, matching the glow to your corporate branding. For drinks receptions, our poseur tables stand at 110cm tall, creating natural gathering points for standing guests. You can pair these with our bar stools to give attendees the option to sit. Our inventory includes a diverse range of chairs to suit any event format, from formal dining to casual networking.
Catering Equipment and Glassware
Feeding large groups requires commercial catering equipment. Independent caterers and hospitality managers use our borehamwood event hire inventory to build temporary kitchens in marquees, village halls, and office buildings. You can order our BBQ hire units for summer corporate parties. These Cinders gas barbecues feature a 31-inch cooking surface, capable of producing hundreds of burgers per hour. For indoor functions, our beverage equipment includes 20-litre water boilers and insulated coffee dispensers to manage high-volume hot drink service.
Drink service demands high quantities of matching glasses. We supply glassware in crates of 24 or 36, covering everything from 12oz highball glasses to 8oz Champagne flutes. You also gain access to our "Send It Back Dirty" service. Your catering team packs the used glasses, plates, and cutlery back into their crates unwashed, and our warehouse handles the cleaning. This removes the need for on-site washing facilities and cuts down your post-event breakdown time.
To complete your bar setup, our bar equipment category includes 150-litre bottle coolers, optic stands, and stainless steel ice buckets. We do not charge a security deposit on any of these items, freeing up your event budget. You can secure your booking with a 25% advance deposit on orders over £1,000, paying the balance closer to your event date.
Outdoor Structures and Lounge Seating
Summer events in Hertfordshire often utilise outdoor spaces, requiring contingency plans for unpredictable weather. Our commercial gazebo hire provides instant shelter for outdoor bars, catering stations, or registration desks. These pop-up gazebos feature 50mm hexagonal aluminium frames and waterproof canopies. We supply them with 15kg leg weights to maintain stability in breezy conditions.
Underneath these shelters, you can arrange our outdoor furniture. We stock aluminium bistro sets, wooden picnic benches, and rattan sofas. As the evening temperature drops, our 13kW gas patio heaters project warmth across a 15-square-metre radius, keeping your guests comfortable outdoors. These units run on standard 13kg propane cylinders, which we supply alongside the heaters.
For indoor relaxation areas, our lounge furniture and sofa sets give attendees a place to rest away from the main event floor. We stock faux leather two-seater sofas and matching armchairs in black and white. You can also find our sofa and lounge sets in modular configurations to fit awkward venue corners. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering you against accidental scratches or minor spills on the upholstery. No other UK hire company offers this protection for free.
Event Styling and Table Preparation
Bare tables require professional dressing before service begins. We stock tablecloths in circular, square, and rectangular formats to fit our entire table hire inventory. You can select from standard white and black, or match your corporate colours with navy, burgundy, or forest green options. Our laundry team presses and hangs every cloth before dispatch, so they arrive ready for immediate use. You can pair these with our dedicated banqueting chairs to complete your formal dining layout.
Organising a large-scale dinner involves coordinating hundreds of individual items. We built our online platform to handle complex orders without requiring a single phone call. You browse the site, check the live pricing, and add your required quantities to the basket. Our EventProu00ae own-brand furniture range undergoes rigorous testing in our Birmingham depot to meet the demands of the UK hire trade, rather than domestic retail standards.
On the day of your delivery, our transport system sends you an SMS with a two-hour estimated time of arrival. You can track our driver's progress live on a map using your order number and postcode. This transparency allows your venue team to prepare the loading bay and allocate staff for unloading. We supply the BBC, ITV, and Cambridge University with commercial-grade equipment, bringing the same level of service to your borehamwood event hire booking. Stock levels update in real time. Select your hire dates on the product pages to check availability and confirm your order today.
