Supply exam desks, canteen furniture, and catering equipment to universities and colleges. Ready for freshers' week to exam periods.
University campuses manage a constant flow of events and activities throughout the academic year. From welcoming thousands of new students during Freshers' Week to conducting large exam sittings, facilities managers and event teams need reliable equipment that can handle heavy use. Organising everything from open days to departmental conferences requires a consistent supply of furniture, catering equipment, and display solutions. Expo Hire provides the necessary equipment to support these diverse operational needs, ensuring events run across various campus locations.
Student life includes many social and public events. Freshers' Fairs, open days, and student union gatherings often require temporary structures and furniture for high footfall. Expo Hire supplies large quantities of 1.8-metre trestle tables for information stalls and displays. For outdoor catering, you can hire commercial gas barbecues, which cook for hundreds of people, alongside display fridges for drinks. Patio heaters extend the usability of outdoor areas into cooler evenings. We also provide outdoor furniture sets, including picnic benches and bistro tables with chairs, to create temporary social zones or expand existing canteen spaces. You can equip pop-up cafes or temporary food stands with a range of counter space, display units, and waste bins.
Throughout the academic year, universities require equipment for teaching, assessment, and administrative functions. Exam periods demand robust individual exam desks, which measure 600mm by 600mm, with or without modesty panels. Expo Hire supplies these in quantities of hundreds for large examination halls. This ensures every student has a suitable workspace. We also provide folding chairs for lecture theatres, temporary classroom setups, and graduation ceremonies. Departments often need extra furniture for staff training, seminars, or temporary office spaces, such as during renovations or peak project times. You can hire 1.2-metre or 1.8-metre folding tables and various chair types, including stacking conference chairs, ideal for multi-purpose rooms. For exhibitions, art shows, or departmental open days, we offer professional display screens and partitioning equipment. These items help manage visitor flow and present exhibit materials. They create defined areas for different faculties or departments. You can also hire cloakroom rails and hangers to manage visitor belongings, maintaining order during busy events.
Working with a single supplier for various needs simplifies logistics for university staff. Expo Hire understands the specific requirements of academic institutions, from the fast-paced demands of student recruitment events to the precise setup for examinations. You receive equipment that withstands frequent use and meets safety standards, delivered and collected according to campus schedules. This partnership helps university facilities and event teams manage their diverse calendar without needing to purchase and store seldom-used equipment.
