The National Exhibition Centre, universally known as the NEC, is one of the UK's largest exhibition and events complexes. Located in Solihull, east of Birmingham and adjacent to Birmingham Airport, the site features twenty halls spanning over 180,000 square metres of event space. It hosts many of the country's biggest trade shows, consumer exhibitions, and motorsport events annually. Expo Hire supplies furniture and equipment for hire to exhibitors and event organisers working at the NEC, with direct delivery to your stand or hall.
Expo Hire delivers a range of equipment suitable for NEC events, from small shell scheme stands to large custom builds. Our stock includes tables, chairs, display plinths, literature racks, and waste bins. For shell scheme stands, our exhibition tables often feature a compact 700mm square or 1200mm x 700mm rectangular top, fitting well within defined stand boundaries. We also supply various seating options, including stacking chairs and stools, which are practical for visitor interactions or staff use. Larger open-plan stands frequently utilise our comfortable armchairs, sofas, and coffee tables to create inviting hospitality zones. Power distribution units, extension leads, and fridge hire are also available to support your stand operations.
Deliveries to the NEC operate on specific time slots to manage traffic flow around the site. Expo Hire coordinates directly with the NEC logistics team to ensure equipment arrives at your stand or designated delivery point efficiently. A flat £100 delivery charge applies to all orders for the NEC, with a minimum order value of £500. This covers the logistical costs and time associated with working at a major exhibition centre. Orders can be placed online, with live stock levels and pricing displayed for all items. We recommend booking equipment in advance, particularly for peak exhibition periods, to guarantee availability for your required items.
he National Exhibition Centre is located in Marston Green, Solihull close to both Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham International railway station. Opened in 1978, it has gone through various expansions and improvements to become the internationally renowned exhibition space it is today.
The NEC has a total of 20 interconnected halls offering a total of 190,000 square metres (2 million square feet) of floor space. There are 16,500 parking spaces spread out around the site, with a shuttle bus operating to and from all the car parks. Construction of the HS2 railway project will see a new railway station at Birmingham Interchange built close to the NEC and connected to the exhibition centre by a people mover.
Along with the Resorts World Arena, which is located on the NEC site, the National Exhibition Centre is operated by the NEC Group. The NEC Group also owns and operates Arena Birmingham and ICC Birmingham based in central Birmingham. Previously owned by Birmingham City Council, the NEC Group was sold to private investors in 2015 and is now owned by American investment company Blackstone.
