Case Study: Wimbledon Champions Ball, 10 Years

Expo Hire has supplied the Wimbledon Champions Ball for 10 years, providing barriers, patio heaters, furniture and tableware.

Ten years at the Wimbledon Champions Ball

Expo Hire supplied the Wimbledon Champions Ball for ten consecutive years. The event follows the tournament with a formal dinner for high-profile guests, and the standard is exact from the first arrival to the last table setting. Organisers need equipment that looks right on the floor and a team that can work to a tight schedule without errors.

The brief covered crowd control barriers, patio heaters, seating, dining tables, glassware and cutlery. Each item served a clear purpose. Barriers managed guest flow on arrival. Heaters kept outside areas usable. Seating, tables and table settings had to match the tone of the evening and arrive in clean, consistent condition.

How we supported the event

High-profile events leave no room for guesswork. Expo Hire planned delivery and collection around the venue schedule and the event build. Our team placed equipment where the organisers needed it, checked presentation across guest areas and left the site ready for front-of-house and catering teams.

The ten-year run matters because long-term supply builds working knowledge. Our team knew the site, the timing and the level the client expected. That saved time in planning and cut risk on event day. The organisers worked with the same supplier year after year because they knew what they would get: clean stock, prompt crews and no surprises.

What high-profile event hire looks like

At this level, hire is about control. Guests notice cold outdoor spaces, weak table presentation and late setup. The organiser notices every delay. A hire company has to arrive on time, bring equipment that stands up to close inspection and support the event team without adding noise. That is the standard Expo Hire brought to the Champions Ball across a full decade.

Equipment for formal dinners and awards events

Expo Hire supplies the full range of equipment needed for formal gala dinners: round dining tables, Chiavari or banqueting chairs, linen, glassware, cutlery, crockery, patio heaters for outdoor areas, and barriers for guest flow management. All categories can be combined in a single order with one delivery and one collection.

For high-profile events where presentation standards are exact, all linen is professionally laundered, glassware is polished, and cutlery arrives clean and bagged per setting. Stock condition is confirmed before dispatch. Contact the sales team for gala dinner packages or visit the furniture hire range to start building an order.
