Your go-to for corporate event furniture and equipment hire across England & Wales.
Your go-to for corporate event furniture and equipment hire across England & Wales.
The room itself matters for any corporate event. Every table, every chair, every glass shapes what attendees walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and catering equipment for corporate events across England and Wales, and we collect it all afterwards. This frees you up to focus on the event itself, not the logistics of setting it up.
Choosing the right chairs is fundamental to the feel of your event. For more formal gatherings like awards dinners or client appreciation events, banqueting chairs offer comfort and a classic look. Our silver banqueting chairs look sharp, particularly when paired with a crisp tablecloth. For a slightly softer, more approachable feel, consider our Cross Back chairs in oak; they work well in a variety of settings, from conference venues to more relaxed office parties.
Tables form the backbone of your event setup. For sit-down meals or conferences, banqueting tables are your go-to. Our 6ft circular tables are perfect for seating around 10 guests, encouraging conversation. For networking events, product launches, or drinks receptions, poseur tables are ideal. These tall tables are often paired with bar stools, creating a more casual standing or perching area. We also stock 8ft round tables which seat up to 12, and 5ft round tables for smaller groups.
Beyond chairs and tables, think about the overall atmosphere. For exhibitions and trade shows, exhibition furniture is key. We supply everything from sturdy 6ft trestle tables for stands to comfortable sofas and lounge chairs for breakout areas or VIP lounges. If you need to display products or collateral, our display cabinets offer secure and attractive presentation. And for crowd control or defining spaces at larger events, our barriers are practical and effective.
When it comes to catering and bars, we have you covered. Setting up a functional bar area is crucial. We provide bar equipment including speed rails, cocktail shakers, and ice buckets. For serving drinks, consider our range of wine glasses, champagne flutes, and beer glasses. If your event includes a buffet or food service, cooking equipment like chafing dishes and bain-maries keeps food warm. We also stock fridges and freezers to keep drinks and perishables chilled.
The details make a difference. Tablecloths and napkins add a layer of polish to your table settings. We have them in a range of colours and sizes to suit your event theme. For outdoor corporate events, such as summer parties or team-building days, think about comfort and ambience. Our outdoor furniture includes benches and tables. And for cooler evenings, patio heaters can make a significant difference to guest comfort, allowing your event to extend into the evening. We also offer gazebos for sheltered outdoor spaces.
We understand that planning a corporate event involves many moving parts. That’s why we aim to make the hire process as straightforward as possible. You tell us what you need, when and where you need it. Our team will deliver the equipment to your venue at a pre-arranged time and then collect it all after your event concludes. This dry hire service means we provide the items; you manage the event itself. Whether it's a small training session, a large conference, a product launch, or a staff party, we have the furniture and equipment to support it.
The scale of corporate events varies hugely. A small workshop for 20 might need a few tables and chairs, perhaps some drink dispensers. A large gala dinner for 500 will require hundreds of banqueting chairs, numerous banqueting tables, extensive crockery, and perhaps a mobile bar setup with bar equipment. We cater to both ends of the spectrum and everything in between. Our team has experience with events of all sizes and can offer guidance on quantities if you're unsure.
Consider your guest flow and the purpose of different areas within your event space. A registration desk might need a table and perhaps some display boards. A networking zone could benefit from lounge seating and coffee tables. Food service areas need space for warming equipment and access for serving staff. By thinking through each element of your event setup, you can create a functional and welcoming environment for your attendees. We’re here to supply the physical items that make that environment a reality.
Our commitment is to provide reliable hire services across England and Wales. The quality of our furniture and equipment is maintained to a high standard, ensuring it presents well at your corporate function. We understand the importance of professionalism in corporate settings, and our service reflects that. From initial enquiry to collection, we aim for a straightforward and efficient experience, helping you tick off a significant item from your event planning checklist.
If you're planning a corporate event, get in touch. We can discuss your specific needs, from the number of guests to the type of setup you require. Whether it’s a conference, a product launch, a team-building day, a client reception, or an annual staff party, Expo Hire has the solutions to furnish your event.
What is dry hire? Dry hire means we deliver the equipment to your venue, and you are responsible for its setup, use, and breakdown. We then return to collect it all after your event. It’s a cost-effective way to access necessary items without long-term commitment.
