What we supply

Expo Hire supplies furniture, catering equipment, glassware, crockery, linen, and outdoor equipment for events of all sizes. We deliver to venues across England and Wales seven days a week, and collect once your event is over. No other hire company in the UK delivers and collects seven days a week. One supplier, one delivery, one collection — it simplifies the logistics considerably.

Why hire from Expo Hire

  • The only hire company in the UK that delivers and collects on Sundays. Most competitors stop at Saturday. We cover every day of the week.
  • Live order tracking on every delivery and collection. Track your driver in real time by order number and postcode. No other hire company in the UK offers this for both delivery and collection.
  • Every order 100% guaranteed before you pay. We check live stock and logistics at the point of booking. No substitutions, no shortfalls, no calls the week before.
  • Choose morning or afternoon for delivery and collection. No other hire company gives you this choice. Your venue, your schedule.
  • No security deposit. No damage deposit. Ever. Expo Hire never holds your money.
  • Free Minor Damage Waiver on every order. Accidental scratches and minor wear covered at no charge. Other companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover.
  • The widest product range in the event hire industry. Chairs, tables, catering, glassware, linen, heating, gazebos, staging, and more from a single supplier.
  • The only hire company in the UK with live chat support seven days a week, 8am to 8pm. Every competitor closes at 5pm on weekdays. Get answers when you are planning, not just during office hours.

Corporate conferences, wedding receptions, street food festivals, award ceremonies — the equipment requirements follow a similar pattern: seating, tables, serving equipment, and something to eat and drink from. We stock all of it.

Furniture hire

We carry a broad range of chairs and tables to suit different event formats. Chiavari chairs work well for weddings and gala dinners. Folding chairs cover volume needs at conferences and outdoor events. Banqueting chairs sit in the middle — smart enough for formal dinners, practical enough for multi-use spaces.

Tables include 5ft and 6ft trestle tables, round banqueting tables in 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft diameters, and poseur tables for standing receptions. We also hire bar furniture, sofas, and LED furniture for events that need a more designed feel.

Catering equipment hire

Our catering range covers the full service chain. At the cooking end: commercial gas ranges, induction hobs, bain maries, and chafing dishes. For cold storage: under-counter fridges, upright fridges, and chest freezers. For front-of-house service: heated trolleys, serving platters, and buffet equipment.

We also stock bar equipment — glasswashers, ice machines, bar counters, and bottle coolers — and outdoor cooking equipment including commercial gas BBQs, griddles, and fryers for street food events.

Tableware, glassware and linen

Crockery, cutlery, and glassware are available in the quantities events actually need. We hire by the dozen, not by the piece. Dinner plates, side plates, soup bowls, starter and main course cutlery, wine glasses, champagne flutes, beer glasses — all cleaned, packed, and delivered ready to use.

Linen hire includes tablecloths for round and trestle tables in a range of colours, chair covers, and sashes. Order linen at the same time as the furniture to keep everything on one delivery.

Outdoor and staging equipment

For outdoor events we hire gazebos, patio heaters, and outdoor furniture sets. For events that need a stage — award ceremonies, corporate presentations, school performances — we supply modular folding stage sections that link together to form larger platforms.

Delivery and collection

We deliver across England and Wales seven days a week from 11 regional depots. Most orders can be accommodated with a few days' notice. We coordinate delivery windows around your setup schedule, and on delivery day your team gets an SMS ETA and a live GPS tracking link. No security deposit is required on any order.

Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge. Other hire companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover — on a typical £1,000 booking, that is up to £30 extra you keep in your pocket.

Six things no other hire company in the UK offers. We deliver and collect seven days a week — no other hire company does. We are the only hire company to offer live order tracking for both delivery and collection; track your driver in real time by order number and postcode. We check live stock and logistics availability before your order is confirmed, so every order is 100% guaranteed to arrive exactly as placed — no substitutions, no shortfalls. You choose morning or afternoon for both delivery and collection. We never charge a security or damage deposit. Every hire includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge — other companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover. And with the widest product range in the event hire industry, most customers can source their entire event from a single supplier.
