Book exhibition catering equipment hire online with live pricing and stock levels. Supply your trade show stand with hot water boilers and compact fridges.
Exhibitors often create a hospitality zone on their stand to welcome visitors. Offering refreshments encourages longer interactions, giving your team more time to engage with potential clients. Hot drinks, chilled beverages, and small snacks keep visitors at your booth. Booking your exhibition catering equipment hire online gives you instant access to live pricing and stock. These practical additions make a stand welcoming and distinctive, distinguishing it from competitors.
Water boilers form the base of many stand hospitality offerings. Capacities range from 5 litres to 30 litres. You choose a size based on expected visitor numbers. A 10-litre boiler provides 40 cups of hot water, supplying a small to medium stand across a day. Staff fill these units by hand, and they connect to a standard 13-amp power supply. These appliances maintain hot water, ready for tea, coffee, or instant soup.
Compact refrigeration units keep drinks chilled for visitors. Bar fridges measure 50cm wide by 50cm deep by 85cm high. You place them under counters or tables. They hold bottled water, soft drinks, or small food items. A typical compact fridge offers about 45 litres of storage. This size keeps cold items fresh while using minimal stand space.
Beyond main appliances, consider serving accessories. Insulated airpots keep coffee hot for several hours after brewing. Serving jugs present water or cold drinks to your guests. You get water pitchers, serving trays, and individual cups. To serve hot drinks, add crockery hire and glassware hire to your basket. Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service, meaning you return cups and glasses unwashed.
Planning your hospitality area needs careful thought. Consider the available space on your stand. Compact appliances maximise your floor footprint. Check your venue for enough power outlets for boilers and fridges. Each boiler requires a dedicated 13-amp socket. Staff place appliances to serve visitors without disrupting presentations or demonstrations. Securing your exhibition catering equipment hire early guarantees availability for major national trade shows.
Providing refreshments allows your team to extend conversations with visitors. Instead of a brief handshake, a visitor accepting a coffee stays at your stand for an extra five to ten minutes. This extended dwell time creates more chances for lead qualification and product discussion. Hospitality appliances change a simple meeting point into a welcoming space.
Think about managing consumables. You must maintain a supply of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, and bottled water throughout the event. Staff need to know the refill process for boilers and keep the area tidy. Expo Hire delivers clean appliances, ready for immediate use.
