Furniture and catering equipment for corporate team-building days. Indoor and outdoor formats covered, from small groups to large programmes.
Corporate team-building days take many different forms. Indoor activities such as cocktail making, cooking classes and quiz nights need furniture arranged for group participation rather than a standard conference layout. Outdoor activities add equipment such as folding tables, gazebos and outdoor seating to the mix.
Expo Hire hires furniture and catering equipment for team-building formats ranging from a small group breakout session to a full-day programme for several hundred people. Circular tables work well for interactive activities; folding tables can be moved and reconfigured during the day. Bar furniture suits networking and social sessions at the end of an activity day.
For cooking or cocktail-making activities, the furniture layout typically puts groups of four to eight around a shared workspace. Trestle tables and folding tables are the most flexible option for activity-based formats because they can be rearranged between sessions without much effort. Chairs and bar stools both work depending on the activity type.
Quiz nights and presentations work better with round tables, allowing each team to face inward and communicate easily. Round tables with banqueting chairs give the format a social feel without the rigid rows of a lecture setup.
For outdoor activity days, gazebos provide shelter for briefings and refreshment stops, and give the event a visible structure in an open space. Outdoor folding tables and chairs handle most seating requirements. For events finishing outdoors in the evening, patio heaters extend the comfortable time considerably.
Where the outdoor section of a day includes food being served, chafing dishes and catering equipment keep food at temperature without needing a nearby kitchen. BBQ equipment is available for more informal outdoor formats.
Most team-building programmes include refreshment breaks and often a working lunch or evening meal. Tea and coffee equipment handles breaks for large groups efficiently. Crockery and glassware can be ordered alongside the furniture and returned dirty using the Send It Back Dirty service, which avoids the washing-up task falling to whoever is tidying the venue at the end of the day.
For the social session at the end of the day, poseur tables and bar stools give the space a bar feel without needing a permanent bar structure. A bar counter can be added for larger events where a working bar is part of the programme.
Equipment is delivered to your venue and collected at a time arranged after the event. Delivery charges are calculated by mileage from the depot, shown at checkout. For team-building events at corporate venues, confirm vehicle access with the venue before placing your order.
Orders are placed online with live stock visibility and no quote process needed. For large group programmes where significant quantities are required, the Large Order Deposit Scheme allows you to reserve items with a deposit ahead of the full payment date.
