Expo Hire supplies up to 1,000 exam desks and chairs for universities across England and Wales, with delivery, setup and collection.
Universities run exam sittings that fill sports halls, exhibition centres and multiple lecture theatres simultaneously. A single sitting can require 500 to 1,000 individual exam desks and chairs, set to specific spacing requirements, then collected within a tight post-exam window.
Expo Hire supplies exam furniture to universities on a recurring annual basis. The requirement is consistent: individual exam desks, straight-backed chairs, and the capacity to deliver and collect hundreds of units to a precise layout and timetable.
Exam furniture logistics are tight. Venues are often booked back-to-back. The setup crew has to work in the brief window between the previous room use and the exam itself. Expo Hire planned delivery slots with the university's examinations team and confirmed collection times at the point of order.
At 1,000 units, the vehicle and crew requirement is substantial. Our team worked with portering staff and security to manage access at venues that don't typically receive large deliveries.
Exam sittings have a fixed, immovable deadline. The furniture has to arrive on time, be set out correctly, and leave without disrupting the timetable. Expo Hire supplies to universities across England and Wales with the fleet and stock to handle large single-site requirements and multi-site deliveries in the same exam window.
The core requirement for an exam sitting is a writing surface and a seat per candidate. Expo Hire supplies individual exam desks and straight-backed stacking chairs matched to the desk count. For large sittings in sports halls and exhibition venues, both items are delivered on trolleys and can be set out quickly with on-site portering staff.
For invigilation and admin areas, additional tables and chairs are available on the same order. Expo Hire can supply separate invigilator tables, water station tables, and chairs for access requirements within a single delivery.
Universities, colleges, and schools across England and Wales can book exam furniture directly at expohire.com. For sittings over 500 desks or multi-site requirements, contact the sales team to discuss logistics and pricing. See the university exam furniture hire page for stock details.
