Exam desks, freshers week catering equipment, graduation furniture and tensabarriers for universities and colleges. Purchase orders accepted.
Expo Hire supplies universities and further education colleges throughout England and Wales with hire equipment across the full academic year. Requirements shift from one term to the next and we carry enough stock to cover multiple large universities simultaneously.
Freshers week calls for high-volume outdoor catering. We supply commercial barbecues capable of serving hundreds of portions at a time, display fridges for drinks, patio heaters for cooler September evenings and outdoor furniture for large student social areas.
For universities handling large induction groups, tensabarriers create orderly queuing areas and direct foot traffic through registration or venue spaces. Where a smarter aesthetic is needed, rope and post barriers are available as an alternative.
Exam periods are among our busiest times with university clients. We stock thousands of ISO examination desks and folding chairs — enough for large universities to run their full exam programme without worrying about furniture shortages at peak periods in January, May and June.
University graduation dinners, guest lectures and departmental formal events call for banqueting furniture, crockery, glassware and linen. We cover events from small departmental dinners to full-scale graduation banquets for several hundred guests.
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.
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.
