For Jewellery & Gem World, the focus is often on creating an intimate yet impressive display. This means you need furniture that’s functional but also complements the luxury of gemstones and fine metals. Think about comfortable seating for potential clients who want to discuss a significant purchase, or elegant display solutions that enhance the sparkle of your pieces. We’ve seen it all at the NEC, from minimalist stands that let the jewellery do the talking to more elaborate setups. The key is to get the details right, and that starts with the right furniture and equipment.

When it comes to exhibition furniture, we have a range designed specifically for trade shows like Jewellery & Gem World. Our exhibition furniture includes simple yet effective tables – like our 6ft trestle tables, suited to displaying brochures or smaller items, or our poseur tables, which add a touch of modern style and can be used for informal meetings. We also offer display cabinets. These are vital for protecting high-value items while still allowing them to be viewed clearly by visitors. We have various sizes, ensuring you can find something to suit the scale of your exhibit and the items you’re showcasing.

For a more relaxed feel, or for those longer conversations, consider our sofas and lounge furniture. A couple of stylish armchairs or a small sofa can make your stand a welcoming oasis amidst the busy show floor. This isn't just about comfort; it's about creating a space where clients feel valued and can take their time examining your collections. We also have bean bags which can add a casual, contemporary vibe if that aligns with your brand identity.

If your event involves hospitality or a specific showcase area, bar furniture could be an option. Poseur tables paired with bar stools create a sophisticated area for showcasing new watch collections or for serving refreshments. It breaks up the usual stand format and can draw people in. We supply these in various finishes, so you can match them to your stand’s overall aesthetic.

Beyond the furniture, practicalities matter. For catering or hospitality elements, we have a full range of catering equipment. If you’re serving drinks, consider our bar equipment, including portable bar units. For keeping things cool, fridges and freezers are essential. And if you’re preparing food, our cooking equipment and warming equipment are reliable choices. Don’t forget glassware – from wine glasses for sophisticated events to beer glasses if you’re serving craft beverages.

Tablecloths also play a significant role. A pristine tablecloth can instantly smarten up a display table or a catering station. We have these in a range of colours and sizes to fit our tables perfectly. Well-chosen linen elevates the entire look and feel of your stand, making it appear more professional and considered. Even simple details like crisp napkins can make a difference if you're offering refreshments.

Ordering from Expo Hire is straightforward. You can browse our extensive catalogue online and add items to your quote request. If you're unsure about quantities or what would work best for your specific stand layout and objectives, our team is on hand to help. We understand the challenges of setting up at a major venue like the NEC and can offer practical advice. We work closely with organisers and exhibitors for many events at the NEC, so we're familiar with the venue’s requirements and logistics.

Delivery to the NEC is something we handle regularly. Once you’ve confirmed your order, we arrange for our delivery team to bring all your hired equipment directly to your stand. We aim for efficiency, ensuring that your items arrive when you need them, minimising any last-minute stress. Collection is just as simple. After your event concludes, our team returns to collect everything. This full-service approach means you can focus entirely on your exhibition and your clients, without worrying about the logistics of furniture and equipment.
