Exam desks, catering equipment and furniture for councils, NHS trusts, schools and universities across England and Wales. Purchase orders accepted.
Local councils, NHS trusts, schools and universities all hire equipment from Expo Hire throughout the year. The hire varies considerably — exam desks for schools running examinations, commercial fridges for hospital kitchens during refits, outdoor catering equipment for council fetes, and banqueting furniture for university graduation dinners.
Public sector organisations have procurement requirements that differ from the commercial sector. Purchase orders, approved supplier status, invoiced accounts and phased payment terms are all part of how we work with public bodies. If your organisation needs an account set up before ordering, get in touch.
Whether it's exam desks and chairs for university examinations, or red carpets and barrier rope systems for school prom nights, Expo Hire can help with your furniture hire needs. Our wide selection of furniture for hire has been put together from our experience of dealing with lots of public sector events and is continually being added to.
We can work with both short- and long-term hire requirements, with our clever website able to display customised pricing once dates of delivery and collection have been entered. Our product listings also confirm stock availability so you can be confident we can supply you without problems.
Breakdown of equipment in a busy kitchen can be nothing short of a nightmare and it is often vitally important to secure replacement hire in a very short space of time. It's not always about just securing a reliable replacement on hire; being able to get it out quickly despite the hurdles that public sector bureaucracy can create in purchasing requires an event hire company to be pragmatic as well as efficient.
Our public sector team has real experience in dealing with these kinds of situations and can work on practical solutions to help keep things in the kitchen running without allowing paperwork to cause problems. Combined with a stock of catering equipment hire that is absolutely reliable has ensured Expo Hire is an approved supplier to public sector entities throughout the area.
Event hire is our speciality, and we are proud to have worked with local authorities, NHS trusts and educational establishments to make their events a success. In 2022 alone we worked extensively on the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham along with various Platinum Jubilee celebrations across the country, and we're looking forward to working with events surrounding the Coronation of King Charles III in May 2023.
All of the hire equipment available from Expo Hire is listed on our website, complete with pricing and availability. Once hire dates and delivery postcodes are entered the website will confirm specific pricing and availability, making it easy to work to a budget. We can work with purchase order systems if required; simply build an order online and obtain a quote in the checkout so that we can add your purchase order details and confirm your order. Our public sector team will also complete any paperwork needed to become an approved supplier should this be necessary.
For larger hire orders it is possible to get quotes from us for specialised service such as set-up and breakdown. These are offered strictly subject to availability, and need to be confirmed with our staff before an order is placed.
