Universities

We supply Universities and further education colleges throughout the whole of the country with hire equipment for all kinds of events.


From freshers week to final examinations, we work with universities to help them source all the furniture hire, event hire and catering equipment hire they might need throughout the academic year.

What types of university event hire do we supply?

Here at Expo Hire we supply universities throughout the academic year with hire equipment for every kind of event.

Fresher’s week events often call for outdoor catering equipment hire like barbecues, display fridges and fryers to prepare, cook and store food for hungry students. Our commercial barbecues are designed to serve literally hundreds of people at a time making them the perfect choice for a big social event, while our patio heaters for hire are good for keeping students warm in the autumn twilight.

For universities with big induction events our tensabarriers for hire are extremely useful. These can be set up quickly to section off space and create queuing areas so that students can be processed quickly and effectively. We also offer ropes and posts for those universities who are looking for something a bit more elegant in style.

Often our busiest time of year with university hire is during examination periods. We have literally thousands of ISO exam desks in stock along with folding chairs to ensure that unis don’t have to worry about a shortage of furniture for mid-semester and final exams.

What about delivery of university event hire?

Sorting out delivery of hire equipment can be a stress, especially if it’s an urgent requirement. At Expo Hire we’ve done everything we can to make it as easy as possible.

Uniquely in the event hire industry, we have made it possible for our customers to track their delivery. Simply enter the order number and postcode on our order tracking page and you can see on the map where our driver is and how long it will take for him to get to you.

In addition to this, we send out automated text messages on the day of delivery and collection which confirm your place in our delivery schedule along with a personalised link to our order tracking page, allowing you to find our your delivery status even when away from your computer.

Can Expo Hire work with university purchasing departments?

At Expo Hire our experience with working with entities within the public sector has helped us to understand the economic constraints and bureaucracy that sector has to comply with.

We have made it as easy as possible for anyone to place an order online with easy payment by credit or debit card as well as a deposit scheme for larger advance orders. However, we also understand that some public sector entities must go through purchasing order protocols and require paperwork before an order can be placed.

To assist with this, we have made it possible for an indicative quote to be emailed to any customer once all details have been entered into the checkout. Once this is approved, simply contact us at publicsector@expohire.com with your purchase order details and quote number and we will be happy to help.
