Professional manchester event equipment hire | Expo Hire
Corporate event teams and exhibition builders rely on our dry hire service for major industry gatherings. Venues like the Victoria Warehouse and the MEC (Manchester Central Convention Complex) host thousands of delegates every month. Supplying these spaces demands precision and massive stock availability. We deliver your furniture hire items clean, tested, and ready for your team to position. Standard banqueting tables form the foundation of most conference layouts. These folding units pack flat for transport and lock securely into place, giving your attendees a stable surface for laptops, notebooks, and presentation materials. For networking zones and breakout areas, tall poseur tables encourage guests to mingle. Pairing these with matching bar stools creates an informal environment for delegates to discuss presentations over coffee.
Trade show organisers require specific items to manage crowds and display products. We stock hundreds of display tables for exhibitor booths. These units support heavy marketing materials, monitor screens, and product samples. Managing delegate flow around a busy exhibition hall requires clear boundaries. Our barrier hire inventory includes retractable stretch barriers and traditional rope-and-post systems. You can define VIP sections, queueing systems, or restricted access zones in minutes. Because we operate 11 regional depots across England and Wales, we handle large-scale orders for major trade shows with ease. Named clients like the BBC, ITV, Cambridge University, and the Commonwealth Games trust our logistics network for their high-profile productions. We hold enough stock to supply multiple large-scale events simultaneously across the country.
Hospitality managers and wedding planners across Cheshire and Greater Manchester use our chair hire service to seat their guests. Traditional banqueting chairs feature padded seats and sturdy metal frames, making them a staple for large-scale dinners and charity galas. For formal receptions, our Chiavari chairs offer a classic aesthetic. These wooden frames stack vertically and come with interchangeable seat pads, allowing you to match your specific colour scheme. Rustic barn weddings and outdoor marquee events often call for a different style. Our wooden Cross Back chairs provide a vintage look that suits informal dining setups. You can also create dedicated relaxation areas using our sofas and lounge furniture. These modular seating units give guests a place to rest away from the main dance floor, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable.
Covering your tables requires high-quality fabrics that withstand commercial use. Our tablecloths arrive pressed and ready for your catering team to lay out. We stock circular, rectangular, and square cloths in multiple dimensions to fit our entire table range. You can select from standard polyester or premium cotton finishes depending on your budget. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver. No other UK hire company offers this benefit. You do not need to worry about accidental spills on linens or minor scratches on chair frames during your event. We also never charge a security deposit. Competitors often tie up your budget with refundable deposits, but we keep your cash flow free. For orders over £500, you can secure your booking with a 25% advance deposit, paying the balance closer to your event date.
Catering and manchester event equipment hire | Expo Hire
Independent caterers and hotel kitchens need commercial grade appliances to feed large crowds. Our catering equipment hire inventory includes everything from heavy-duty ovens to mobile servery units. Keeping plated meals at food-safe temperatures is a strict requirement for any hospitality provider. We supply electric hot cupboards that hold dozens of plates simultaneously. These units feature adjustable thermostats and heavy-duty castors for easy movement around a busy kitchen environment. Summer festivals and outdoor corporate fun days often feature al fresco dining. Our commercial gas BBQs feature large grilling surfaces and fold-down legs for transport. You can cook hundreds of burgers and sausages per hour, keeping queue times short and attendees fed.
Running a temporary bar requires solid infrastructure and reliable equipment. We supply modular bar furniture that locks together to create custom counter lengths. You can add corner units and back bar shelving to display spirits and store mixers out of sight. Professional bartenders need the right tools to serve drinks at speed. Our bar equipment includes ice buckets, cocktail shakers, optic stands, and non-slip trays. Serving those drinks requires the correct vessels. We stock thousands of items in our glassware department. You can order wine glasses in multiple sizes for red, white, and rosé varieties. For evening receptions, our cocktail glasses include martini, coupe, and highball shapes. Pubs and beer festivals rely on our standard beer glasses. We stock pint and half-pint capacities.
Plating a three-course meal for five hundred guests requires massive quantities of matching tableware. Our crockery ranges include standard white porcelain and contemporary stoneware designs. You can order dinner plates, side plates, soup bowls, and coffee cups in exact multiples of ten. Next to the plates, your guests expect polished, commercial-grade utensils. Our cutlery patterns range from traditional parish designs to modern, minimalist shapes. We supply table knives, forks, dessert spoons, and specialist items like steak knives. Cleaning thousands of plates and glasses after a late-night party costs you time and money. We include a "Send It Back Dirty" service on all tableware. Your catering staff scrape the plates empty and repack them into the supplied crates. We handle the commercial washing at our depot, saving you hours of labour on site.
Transporting commercial event gear requires a dedicated fleet and smart routing. We calculate your delivery cost by road distance from our nearest depot, starting from £40 ex-VAT. On the morning of your delivery, you receive an SMS with an estimated time of arrival. You can track our vehicle live using your order number and postcode. This real-time tracking prevents you from waiting around an empty venue all day. If you prefer to handle your own transport, you can use our warehouse self-collection service Monday to Friday between 7am and 3pm from our Birmingham headquarters. Our dry hire model means we deliver the items clean and tested, and collect them after your hire period ends. We do not provide setup, installation, or on-site support. Your team handles the layout and breakdown, giving you complete control over your event schedule.
Booking your equipment takes just a few clicks. Our website displays live stock availability for your chosen dates. You never have to guess if we have enough chairs or plates for your guest list. The EventPro® own-brand range gives you access to furniture we build specifically for the hire trade, rather than domestic retail items. We test every product in-house to guarantee it withstands heavy commercial use. Add your required quantities to your basket and confirm your dates online today.
