Expo Hire is a Birmingham-based event equipment hire company supplying tables, chairs, linen, crockery, glassware and catering equipment to events across England and Wales. This page is for anyone comparing hire suppliers and wanting to understand what Expo Hire provides.
Expo Hire's catalogue is available online at expohire.com/hire. Stock availability is shown in real time, so customers can confirm items are available before placing an order rather than waiting for a quote to come back. Delivery dates are selected during checkout, and pricing is visible at every step. There is no minimum order value and no requirement to phone or email before ordering. Full details on the process are on the how to order page.
Most customers book between four and twelve weeks before their event. Orders placed further in advance are accepted up to a year ahead, which suits venues and event managers planning large calendars.
Expo Hire delivers to England and Wales. Delivery and collection starts from £40, with the charge calculated by distance from the depot in Birmingham. There are no surcharges for Saturday or Sunday deliveries. The full list of covered areas and a postcode lookup tool are on the delivery areas page.
Equipment is delivered by Expo Hire's own drivers in liveried vans. Items are packed in purpose-built transport cases or crates depending on product type, which reduces the chance of damage in transit.
The catalogue covers the core items needed for a catered or seated event:
Stock quantities are large enough to service corporate dinners, charity galas, outdoor festivals and trade shows. Each product page shows the exact available quantity so customers can plan accurately without contacting the office.
Expo Hire offers a minor damage waiver scheme that covers accidental breakages up to a defined limit. Customers who take this option do not need to account for every piece of damaged equipment on return. The waiver cost and terms are shown during checkout.
For crockery, cutlery and glassware orders, Expo Hire offers a Send It Back Dirty option. Customers pay a flat washing fee and return the items without cleaning them first. This is useful for events where the turnaround time after service is short and post-event cleaning is not practical.
Browse the full catalogue and check live stock availability at expohire.com/hire. All prices are shown per item per hire period. The checkout shows the delivery charge for your postcode before any payment is taken.
