Commercial Furniture for welwyn garden city event hire | expo hire

Corporate conferences at local business parks and formal dinners at venues like The Campus West demand specific seating configurations. We supply the EventPro® own-brand range, which our in-house team designs exclusively for the hire trade rather than retail consumers. You can order chairs in quantities ranging from a dozen to several hundred. Sturdy banqueting chairs feature high-density foam seat pads and stackable steel frames, making them suitable for large-scale seated dinners. Organisers planning formal galas often select Chiavari chairs in natural wood or clear acrylic finishes. These pair with our tables, including 5ft and 6ft round banqueting tables that seat up to 10 guests each. For buffet stations or registration desks, our rectangular trestle tables provide flat, stable surfaces with folding legs for rapid clearance and storage.

Networking events and exhibition stands require different layouts. We stock bar stools and matching poseur tables at 110cm heights, creating standing meeting points for delegates. You can also specify bar furniture and modular sofas and lounges to build dedicated breakout zones within larger halls. Every order includes our free minor damage waiver, covering accidental scratches or standard wear and tear during your hire period. No other UK hire company provides this waiver free of charge. We also operate without requiring a security deposit, freeing up your budget for other event expenses. For orders exceeding £1,000, buyers can opt to pay a 25% advance deposit to secure the stock, settling the balance closer to the delivery date.

Outdoor Equipment and Weather Protection

Garden parties, summer festivals, and outdoor corporate days require commercial-grade infrastructure. You can browse our outdoor event hire category for heavy-duty outdoor furniture and BBQs. We supply gazebo hire units featuring 3m x 3m and 6m x 3m footprints, complete with weighted feet and waterproof canopies. These structures define outdoor spaces and protect guests from sudden rain. As temperatures drop in the evening, our patio heaters output up to 13kW of heat, running on standard 13kg propane cylinders. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT. The system calculates this fee by road distance from our nearest depot to your Hertfordshire location. On the day of delivery, our transport team provides live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA, allowing your site managers to coordinate unloading times accurately.

Tableware and Catering Gear

Food service requires exact quantities of matching tableware. We hold thousands of units in stock, ready for dispatch. Our crockery inventory includes standard 10-inch dinner plates, side plates, and bowls. You can pair these with 18/0 stainless steel cutlery and commercial glassware. The beverage selection covers 8oz to 12oz wine glasses, 6oz champagne glasses, and CE-marked beer glasses. Hospitality managers benefit directly from our "Send It Back Dirty" service. You return all plates, glasses, and forks unwashed in the crates we supply. We handle the industrial washing at our depot, saving your catering team hours of on-site labour and reducing turnaround times for venue managers.

Dressing the dining space requires exact textile measurements. We supply 100% spun polyester tablecloths and matching 22-inch napkins in multiple colours. Independent caterers and venue managers also rely on our heavy-duty kitchen appliances. You can hire fridges and freezers ranging from 130-litre under-counter units to 600-litre upright cabinets. Hot food preparation demands commercial cooking equipment, including six-burner gas ovens and electric convection ovens. We also stock bar equipment and serving accessories to stock temporary bars. All electrical items undergo PAT testing before dispatch, and gas appliances carry current Gas Safe certification.
