Emergency Services Show

The Emergency Services Show is held every September at the NEC Birmingham, bringing together suppliers to police, fire, ambulance, and search and rescue services. It is a professional trade event aimed at procurement teams, operational managers, and policy makers across the blue light sector.

Exhibitors include equipment and technology suppliers, vehicle manufacturers, communications companies, and training providers. The trade audience is professional and well-informed, and stand presentation should reflect that.

Expo Hire supplies stand furniture to Emergency Services Show exhibitors. Poseur tables and bar stools suit informal meeting areas where suppliers can talk through products and services with procurement contacts. Formal meeting tables and chairs work well for scheduled demonstrations and follow-up conversations. For larger stands with dedicated product demonstration zones, additional seating and display furniture is available.

For exhibitors running refreshments through the day, we stock tea and coffee equipment and glassware for cold drinks.

We deliver direct to the NEC and collect after the show. Equipment arrives clean and ready to use, and we can advise on delivery timing to fit your load-in schedule. The Emergency Services Show runs during the September period at the NEC, which is a busy time. Book ahead to confirm availability.

About the NEC

he National Exhibition Centre is located in Marston Green, Solihull close to both Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham International railway station. Opened in 1978, it has gone through various expansions and improvements to become the internationally renowned exhibition space it is today.

The NEC has a total of 20 interconnected halls offering a total of 190,000 square metres (2 million square feet) of floor space. There are 16,500 parking spaces spread out around the site, with a shuttle bus operating to and from all the car parks. Construction of the HS2 railway project will see a new railway station at Birmingham Interchange built close to the NEC and connected to the exhibition centre by a people mover.

Along with the Resorts World Arena, which is located on the NEC site, the National Exhibition Centre is operated by the NEC Group. The NEC Group also owns and operates Arena Birmingham and ICC Birmingham based in central Birmingham. Previously owned by Birmingham City Council, the NEC Group was sold to private investors in 2015 and is now owned by American investment company Blackstone.
