1,000 conference chairs across three venues

Jaguar Land Rover asked Expo Hire to supply 1,000 conference chairs for a product launch in the Midlands. The event ran across the engine factory, the main site and the battery factory at the same time. Each venue needed the same standard of presentation, and every chair had to be in place before guests arrived.

Why hire from Expo Hire

• The only hire company in the UK that delivers and collects on Sundays. Morning and afternoon windows available every day of the year, including Bank Holidays.
• Live GPS tracking on every delivery and collection. A tracking link and SMS ETA are sent on delivery morning. No other UK hire company offers this for both directions.
• Every order 100% guaranteed before you pay. Stock and logistics are confirmed at the point of booking. No substitutions or shortfalls on the day.
• No security deposit on any order. No damage deposit, no money held back — ever.
• Free Minor Damage Waiver on every order. Accidental breakages during normal event use are covered at no extra charge.
• Choose morning or afternoon for delivery and collection independently. Your schedule, your venue, your window.
• 11 regional depots across England and Wales. Orders route automatically from the nearest depot to your venue.

A job like this is not one delivery split three ways. It is three live venue setups that must land on time together. Each site has its own access rules, unloading points and layout plan. The client also needs clear communication because one delay at one venue puts pressure on the whole launch.

What we supplied

• 1,000 conference chairs for guest seating
• Delivery across three Midlands venues
• Trucks scheduled by venue and access window
• Positioning teams to lay out chairs to plan
• Collection after the event

How we managed the rollout

Expo Hire planned each venue as its own operation. We built truck schedules, crew allocations and layout notes for every site, then timed the work so all three setups finished before the first guests reached the doors. Our teams unloaded by zone, moved chairs into the right spaces and set them out to the agreed layouts.

The scale matters. One thousand chairs means several truck loads, disciplined handling and enough crew on the ground to place stock at pace without losing control of presentation. It also means the client needs a supplier with the stock depth to cover the order and the transport plan to move it across more than one site on the same day.

Multi-venue delivery gets hard when timings tighten. Site teams ask questions, layouts shift and access windows move. Expo Hire manages that pressure with route planning, clear crew briefs and one point of control for the full job. That keeps each venue aligned with the wider event plan and keeps turnaround under control.

Why clients use a single hire partner

For a launch spread across three venues, the client needs more than chairs. They need one supplier who can control stock, timing and setup across the full schedule. Expo Hire gives event teams that control, which is why large conference and launch clients trust us with substantial chair orders.
