UK Construction Week NEC Birmingham

UK Construction Week is held at NEC Birmingham each autumn and is one of the largest construction industry trade shows in the country, covering architecture, structural engineering, fit-out, building materials, plant and facilities management. It draws tens of thousands of visitors over several days and hosts a full programme of product launches, seminars and networking events.

Expo Hire hires stand furniture and catering equipment to UK Construction Week exhibitors and event organisers at NEC Birmingham.

What Exhibitors and Organisers Need

Exhibitors use poseur tables and bar stools on their stands for conversations with contractors, architects and specifiers. Tablecloths dress trestle tables. Larger stands benefit from round tables and chairs for meetings. Evening networking events and awards dinners at the NEC during the show require full table settings.

Expo Hire delivers direct to the NEC and collects after the show. Equipment arrives clean and ready to use. Contact us for a quote ahead of UK Construction Week.

About the NEC

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.
