Furniture orders often start with chair hire and table hire. Formal dining jobs may add Chiavari chairs and 6ft round tables. Standing receptions often need poseur tables, bar stools and a mobile bar layout. Back of house support can include hot cupboards, water boilers, filter coffee machines, double door fridges, or glass washers.
Expo Hire works with caterers, venues, corporate event teams, exhibition contractors, charities, schools, universities, hospitals, care homes and public sector buyers. Some jobs run for one day. Others run for several weeks during a refurbishment, exam season or long event build. The stock range fits both.
Large events often mix several categories. A dinner can need furniture, glassware, crockery, cutlery and hot holding. An exhibition can need desks, chairs, counters, display cabinets and coffee service. A temporary kitchen can need ovens, fridges, service tables and a stock of plates and cutlery for staff feeding.
Start with the event dates, venue postcode and guest count. Then choose the stock category that matches the job. Add the quantities you need, check the delivery charge at checkout and review the full ex VAT total before payment.
Expo Hire uses a standard 3 day hire period. Delivery day comes first, then the event day, then collection day. If you need a longer period, the system can price an extension or the sales team can quote it. Phone orders run on 0800 910 1100 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Every order includes the free Minor Damage Waiver. Expo Hire does not take a security deposit. Drivers do not set the equipment up, so leave enough labour on site to unload, place and test the stock before service starts.
Expo Hire delivers across England and Wales. Delivery starts from £40 ex VAT and the route charge depends on the road distance from the nearest depot. Sunday delivery and Sunday collection are available. That helps venues that have weekend access windows or late finish schedules.
The service is dry hire only. Equipment arrives clean and tested, but your team handles setup, operation and breakdown. Drivers do not carry stock up stairs, connect gas, or give on-site technical support. Test electrical or gas equipment early if the event falls at a weekend.
