National Exhibition Centre

Find out how we can help you with your exhibition hire at the National Exhibition Centre, delivered directly to your stand.

Looking for a discount for your exhibition? Check the list of events to see if your event is included in our special promotion.

The big trade shows and exhibitions come but once a year for most businesses, meaning it is absolutely vital for companies to get their stand looking as best as they can. Our experience of delivering exhibition hire can help you get your stand looking great at a budget that does not break the bank.

Delivery to the NEC? We've got you covered!

We’ve made our checkout experience easier for exhibitors at the National Exhibition Centre, to ensure you can book your order quickly and effectively. Our clever website will recognise the postcode when entered, so the only details you need in the delivery screen are the hall or room you’re in, your stand number and name.

All orders have a flat mileage cost of £100, with no extra charges for timed delivery on setup or breakdown day. However there is a minimum order value of £500.

We get how important big exhibitions like yours are to companies. It's a chance to connect with potential suppliers, partners and customers and to develop business. First impressions are vital, which means it's absolutely imperative to have the best stand possible.

How display cabinet hire can help you with your exhibition stand

Our display cabinet hire is probably the best way to showcase the products and services you have to offer to delegates at yours. They're available in various sizes to help you get the best value for your stand footprint, and all feature interior LED lights.

For customers with products to sell, our display cabinets with lockable storage areas not only offer a retail area to showcase products but a space underneath to store products ready for sale and display, making the best use of your limited space possible.

Getting the most from exhibition furniture hire

Exhibitions aren't just about showing off what you do; they're also an important meeting place to build rapport with people and companies alike. Having a comfortable space where potential clients, suppliers and partners can sit and talk can be the difference between a deal being made or broken.

Whether it's sofas and coffee tables or a poseur table with bar stools, we've got furniture for hire that can help you get the most for your space. There is a range of colours on offer too, to help fit in with your desired aesthetic.

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.

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.
