Equipment Hire for The Security Event

The Security Event at the NEC Birmingham has grown quickly into the UK's leading trade show for the physical security industry, covering CCTV, access control, intruder alarms, fire detection, and integrated systems. Exhibitors include product manufacturers, distributors, software vendors, and installers presenting to specifiers, integrators, and end users across three days.

Meeting Furniture and Demo Areas

Security buyers evaluating access control systems, CCTV platforms, and integrated software need a structured environment for product walk-throughs and specification discussions. Our chair hire range covers conference chairs for seated demos through to lounge seating for extended meetings. A rectangular meeting table with chairs creates a semi-private briefing area within the stand footprint. For informal discussions, a sofa and coffee table keeps the conversation comfortable.

Display and Showcase Units

Cameras, control panels, readers, and hardware samples need secure, visible display. Our showcase units provide glass-fronted display with overnight locking. Counter-height units double as serving surfaces for literature and demo tablets. Literature stands keep technical data sheets and product guides organised at the stand frontage.

Poseur Tables and Aisle Frontage

Poseur tables placed at the stand edge create natural stopping points for hall visitors. Sales engineers can stand behind them, qualifying inbound interest before directing serious prospects to the demo area. Pair with bar stools for extended aisle conversations.

Catering and Refreshments

Our hot drinks equipment covers filter coffee machines and hot water boilers for on-stand hospitality. For dealer events and press meetings, our glassware hire covers wine and champagne flutes. Our Send It Back Dirty policy applies to all crockery and glassware.
