Professional event organisers, independent caterers, and venue managers require dependable equipment. Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade furniture and catering gear to corporate functions, weddings, and hospitality venues across Greater Manchester. Securing reliable timperley event hire means having access to live stock levels and transparent pricing without waiting for a quote. You can view all costs directly on our website and place your order immediately. We operate a dry hire model. Our drivers deliver clean, tested items straight to your venue, and our team collects everything after your function concludes. We do not provide setup, installation, or on-site support, leaving you in full control of your floor plan.
Organising a large-scale corporate dinner or an outdoor festival demands precise logistics. Expo Hire North West covers Manchester, Liverpool, Preston, Blackpool, Chester, Aintree and the wider North West region. We deliver to venues in Altrincham, Sale, Bowdon, and central Manchester. Our system calculates delivery rates starting from £40 ex-VAT based on the exact mileage from our closest regional base. Placing an order triggers our routing software to assign your delivery to a specific vehicle. On the morning of your delivery, our system sends a tracking link and an SMS ETA directly to your mobile phone. You can watch the delivery vehicle approach your venue in real time. This eliminates the frustration of waiting around loading bays and allows your crew to focus on other setup tasks. We deliver to ground-floor locations, and our drivers will stack your items neatly ready for your team to distribute. You never have to guess when your transport will arrive.
Furniture and Seating for Professional Functions
Event planners need sturdy, commercial-grade seating for high-traffic environments. We manufacture our own EventProu00ae furniture range specifically for the hire trade. This means you receive items we manufacture to withstand heavy use rather than standard retail products. For formal dining, you can select from our extensive catalogue of table hire options. Our 6ft round banqueting tables seat up to ten guests, making them a staple for charity galas, award ceremonies, and university balls. You can pair these with our 6ft by 2.5ft trestle tables to build buffet stations, registration desks, or back-of-house prep areas. Exhibition builders frequently use our trestle tables to create vendor booths and display stands.
Matching seating completes your room layout. We stock thousands of chair hire options, including our popular banqueting chairs in classic wood finishes. These stackable units save space during transport and load-in, helping your crew clear the floor faster. For black-tie events or upscale weddings, Chiavari chairs bring a traditional aesthetic. You can choose limewash or gold finishes to match your specific room design. Every chair order comes with our Free Minor Damage Waiver. No other UK hire company includes this protection as standard. You never have to worry about minor scratches or scuffs resulting in unexpected replacement fees.
Summer festivals, garden parties, and outdoor corporate retreats require weather-resistant setups. Our outdoor furniture inventory includes metal bistro sets, rattan sofas, and aluminium poseur tables. Venue managers use these items to create breakout areas and smoking terraces. Because we do not require a security deposit, you can allocate your budget directly to your event rather than tying up capital in refundable bonds. Orders over £1,000 qualify for a 25% advance deposit option, helping you manage cash flow for large-scale bookings.
Bar Setups and Beverage Service
Evening receptions and networking events rely on functional bar areas. We supply modular bar furniture that you can configure to fit any room size. Poseur tables give guests a place to rest their drinks while standing. You can add matching bar stools to create casual seating zones around the perimeter of your dance floor or networking space. Independent caterers and mobile bar operators regularly source their bar equipment from our depots. We stock cocktail shakers, ice buckets, and optic stands to keep your service running at full speed.
Serving drinks to hundreds of guests requires massive quantities of glassware. We hold vast stocks of wine glasses, champagne flutes, and pint glasses. You can order exactly what you need for your specific beverage menu. Washing hundreds of glasses at midnight is a logistical nightmare for most event staff. We solve this with our "Send It Back Dirty" service. Your team empties the glasses and repacks them into their transport crates. We handle all the washing at our depot, and this cleaning service forms part of your standard hire price.
Catering Equipment and Tableware
Professional caterers need reliable tools to serve multi-course meals. Expo Hire supplies commercial catering equipment hire for temporary kitchens and pop-up dining spaces. We supply hot cupboards, chafing dishes, and commercial ovens to keep food at the correct temperature. Sourcing your timperley event hire supplies through our platform allows you to secure all your back-of-house equipment and front-of-house tableware in a single order. This reduces the number of deliveries your site manager needs to coordinate on setup day.
Storing perishable ingredients on-site demands commercial refrigeration. We supply upright fridges, chest freezers, and under-counter bottle coolers for temporary bars and catering tents. You can hire heavy-duty prep tables to give your chefs a hygienic workspace. For hot beverage service at conferences or charity coffee mornings, our high-capacity water boilers and pump-action airpots keep the tea and coffee flowing. Every electrical item undergoes strict PAT testing before it leaves our warehouse. You receive safe, compliant equipment that meets the safety requirements of major venues and exhibition halls.
Presenting food requires clean, uniform crockery. We stock thousands of plates and bowls in various sizes. You can select small starter plates, large main course dishes, and deep bowls for soups or desserts. We also supply matching cutlery sets, including table knives, forks, dessert spoons, and specialist steak knives. Just like our glassware, all crockery and cutlery falls under our "Send It Back Dirty" policy. You scrape the plates clear of food debris and pack them away unwashed.
Dressing your tables requires commercial-grade linen. We supply tablecloths in standard white, ivory, and black. These cloths fit our round and trestle tables exactly. You can add matching or contrasting napkins to complete your place settings. Our laundry team washes and presses all linen before dispatch, so it arrives ready to go straight onto your tables.
Managing Your Timperley Event Equipment Order
Booking your timperley event hire equipment takes only a few minutes. We operate a fully online ordering system. You never need to make a phone call or wait for a sales representative to email a quote. Our website displays live pricing and real-time stock availability for every item. You can adjust quantities in your basket and see the exact total, including delivery, before you check out.
We built our entire business model around the needs of professional event organisers. In 2014, we launched as the UK's first fully online event hire company.

Our catalogue covers 48 dedicated event types, from corporate hospitality suites to large-scale festival VIP areas. We hold enough inventory to supply multiple large events simultaneously across the country.
Major organisations trust Expo Hire with their event logistics. We have supplied equipment to the BBC, ITV, HSBC, Cambridge University, and the Commonwealth Games. We bring the same level of commercial reliability to every order, from local school fetes to massive corporate exhibitions.
