Operating from our Birmingham primary depot alongside 11 regional hubs across England and Wales, we deliver dry hire equipment straight to your venue. Every order placed through our fully online system includes live pricing and real-time stock availability. You never need to pay a security deposit, keeping your budget focused on the event itself.
Supplying whitefield event equipment hire for corporate functions
Business parks and trading estates near the M60 corridor frequently host product launches, client appreciation days, and internal company functions. Organisers need functional furniture that withstands heavy commercial use. Our EventPro® own-brand range features furniture we designed specifically for the hire trade rather than retail markets. We supply BBC, ITV, HSBC, and Cambridge University with this exact equipment. On delivery day, you receive live vehicle tracking and an SMS ETA, giving your site team exact arrival times for your order.
Exhibition halls demand practical display units and seating arrangements. We stock exhibition furniture that handles high footfall. Trade show stands benefit from illuminated display cabinets that highlight specific products under bright LED lighting. These lockable units keep valuable merchandise secure during busy show hours. Managing visitor flow around your space requires sturdy barrier systems. Exhibitors spend long hours on their feet, making comfortable conference chairs a strict necessity for staff and visiting clients. You can also add basic tables in trestle or poseur heights to complete your workspace layout.
Catering equipment and bar setups
Food service operations require reliable hardware to maintain temperature and hygiene standards. Outdoor community fetes and private garden parties often rely on a commercial BBQ unit to feed large crowds. Beverage service needs a complete suite of bar equipment, including cocktail shakers, ice buckets, and optic stands. Adding bar stools gives guests a place to sit near the serving area. Kitchen teams preparing hot food on-site depend on high-performance warming equipment like bain-maries and hot cupboards. Storing perishable ingredients safely means hiring commercial fridges and freezers. Our system calculates delivery for these bulky items from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our nearest depot.
Serving a three-course meal involves hundreds of individual pieces. We stock thousands of items of crockery, cutlery, and glassware for immediate dispatch. Washing up after a major banquet takes hours of staff time. Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service on all these items. Your catering team packs the unwashed plates, forks, and glasses back into their transport crates, and we handle the cleaning at our depot. Every order also includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, protecting you against the cost of small chips or scratches. No other UK hire company offers this protection as standard.
Furniture for large-scale gatherings
Gala dinners and charity fundraisers require uniform seating for hundreds of guests. We hold massive stocks of furniture hire items ready for next-day delivery across most of England. Formal seated events rely on heavy-duty banqueting tables that fold flat for transport but lock rigidly into place during use. We stock circular and rectangular variants to suit different floor plans. Pairing these with our banqueting chairs gives your attendees comfortable seating for extended periods. Large orders over £1,000 qualify for a 25% advance deposit option, helping you manage cash flow during the planning stages of a major event.
Outdoor festivals and sporting events face unpredictable weather conditions. Erecting a commercial gazebo hire unit provides immediate shelter for registration desks, first aid points, or VIP areas. Evening events drop in temperature rapidly. Placing patio heaters around the perimeter of your outdoor space keeps guests warm long after the sun goes down. All our gas appliances arrive tested and certified, ready for immediate use upon delivery.
Finishing touches and table settings
Bare tables require proper dressing before guests arrive. We supply crisp tablecloths and matching napkins in multiple sizes and colours. Beverage service dictates specific glass types for different drinks. Your bar staff need proper wine glasses for table service and toughened beer glasses for the main bar area. Moving food from the kitchen to the dining room requires heavy-duty serving accessories, including stainless steel platters, serving tongs, and bread baskets. You can browse our entire catering equipment hire catalogue online to find exactly what your menu requires.
