Business Travel Show ExCeL London | Expo Hire

\n

The Business Travel Show at ExCeL London is where the decisions shaping how companies travel are made. It’s Europe’s main event for corporate travel professionals, bringing together everyone from travel managers and procurement officers to corporate buyers. If you’re exhibiting or organising, your stand or event space needs to make a statement. Expo Hire delivers furniture, glassware, and catering essentials right to your stand at ExCeL London, and we collect it all afterwards.

Your stand needs to work. It needs to invite conversation, offer a place to sit and discuss, and look professional. For a bustling show like this, a simple table is essential. Our 6ft circular tables are popular for creating informal meeting spots, seating around 8 to 10 people comfortably. If you need something more focused for presentations or conversations, a high poseur table paired with bar stools creates a more dynamic, upright meeting space. We also have smaller 4ft circular tables that are great for compact areas, seating around 4-6. Don’t forget about chairs. Our banqueting chairs offer a comfortable option for longer discussions, and our cross-back chairs in oak provide a touch of warmth and natural texture that can break up the sometimes sterile feel of an exhibition hall. For a more relaxed vibe, consider a small sofa or armchair arrangement. It's a great way to make your stand feel less like a sales pitch and more like a welcoming lounge.

Beyond furniture, think about what makes your stand functional and welcoming. You'll likely need glassware for serving refreshments. Our water glasses are standard, but if you're offering something a bit more substantial, we have wine glasses and beer glasses too. For ease of service, especially if you're offering teas or coffees, consider our beverage equipment range, which includes essentials like airpots. If you plan to serve snacks or buffet-style food, our warming equipment like hot cupboards or chafer dishes can be invaluable. We also have basic serving accessories.

Exhibiting at ExCeL London means you're dealing with a large, professional venue. When ordering from Expo Hire, the process is straightforward. You can browse our extensive catalogue online, filter by category, and add items to your quote request. For the Business Travel Show, we recommend ordering well in advance. It gives you the best choice and avoids any last-minute rushes. Once you submit your request, a member of our team will be in touch to confirm details, availability, and provide a clear quote. We understand the timings of trade shows; delivery and collection are coordinated with the venue’s logistics to fit within your setup and breakdown schedule.

Delivery to ExCeL London is a core part of our service. We deliver throughout England and Wales, including all major exhibition venues like ExCeL. Our team is experienced in working with venue rules and access times. We'll deliver directly to your stand number, leaving everything set up and ready for you to put your personal touches on. There's no need to worry about getting items to and from the venue; that's all part of our service. When the show concludes, our team will return to collect all the hired items, again coordinating with the venue’s schedule. This frees you up to focus on packing up your own materials and heading home, rather than being stuck with bulky furniture.

For stands needing a bit more visual appeal or a distinct area, consider our exhibition furniture range. Simple Chiavari chairs can add a touch of sophistication if your stand has a reception area. For product displays, our display cabinets are useful. We also have barrier hire if you need to manage foot traffic or create specific zones around your stand.

If your company's travel focus includes international delegates or client entertainment, and you're planning any off-site meetings or hospitality around the show, we can assist there too. We supply furniture for corporate events, dinners, and receptions across the country. Think about dining tables, chairs, and tablecloths for a more formal setup.

When planning your stand for the Business Travel Show at ExCeL London, it's worth thinking about the practicalities. How many people will you expect to meet? What atmosphere do you want to create? Having the right furniture and equipment can make a difference in how your message is received and how effective your time at the show is. It’s about creating a space that supports your business objectives. Let us handle the hire details, so you can focus on the business at hand.

Expo Hire covers ExCeL London event hire and wider conference and exhibition hire across England and Wales.

For specific product needs, like a particular style of bar furniture for a hospitality area, or if you need a range of bar equipment to serve drinks, our website has clear categories to help you find exactly what you need. If you’re unsure about quantities or what works best for a show environment, just ask. We’ve equipped countless stands at ExCeL and other major exhibition centres and can offer practical advice based on that experience. Our goal is to make your exhibition setup as smooth as possible.

About ExCeL

ExCeL is an exhibition centre based in the Custom House area of Newham, in East London. The name ExCeL is an abbreviation for “Exhibition Centre London” and was given to emphasise its location when it was opened in 2000. It has since been redeveloped further, adding London’s first International Convention Centre (ICC). The third phase of redevelopment is due to be open by 2024.

The exhibition centre has 100,000 square metres of enclosed space, consisting of two column-free sub-divisible halls of about 44,500 square meters space apiece, either side of a central boulevard containing catering facilities and information points. There are 5,500 car parking spaces on site, and the centre is served by the Custom House for ExCeL and Prince Regent stops on the Docklands Light Railway.

Currently owned by the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company, ExCeL is home to a wide range of exhibitions and conferences, as well as hosting the London ePrix of the Formula E World Championship motor racing calendar.

At Expo Hire, we can appreciate the stress involved with setting up and breaking down a stand at an important exhibition and we want to do everything we can to help prevent it. We can deliver exhibition hire directly to your stand – simply confirm your event, hall and stand number when placing your order and we will do the rest.
