Book international convention centre hire equipment directly online. Expo Hire supplies commercial furniture and catering gear to ICC Birmingham.
Organising an exhibition stand or conference demands commercial-grade equipment. Event planners operate to strict deadlines inside this prominent city centre venue. Sourcing your international convention centre hire items online gives your team more time to manage the schedule. The facility sits next to Symphony Hall, hosting major political gatherings, global summits, trade exhibitions, and awards ceremonies year-round. Diverse spaces include Hall 1, accommodating up to 3,000 delegates, alongside multiple smaller meeting rooms.
Expo Hire supplies a focused inventory of furniture hire items for events at the ICC. You can select display plinths to present products on exhibition stands. These units come in multiple sizes, including 900mm tall and 400mm square variants. We also stock a selection of table hire options, from 6ft x 2ft 6in trestle tables for information points to smaller coffee tables for client meetings. Seating choices include practical conference chairs for auditoriums and poseur stools for informal networking areas. You can specify items from our exclusive EventPro® range, featuring commercial-grade furniture that withstands heavy trade usage. Beyond furniture, we maintain extensive catering equipment hire options for independent caterers operating within the venue's secondary spaces. You can source commercial ovens, hot cupboards, and refrigeration units to build temporary kitchens behind the scenes. We also operate a Send It Back Dirty service, meaning your team returns crockery, glassware, and cutlery unwashed after the conference concludes.
Coordinating event logistics involves navigating specific access rules. Expo Hire trucks have routine access to the loading bays and service yards at this location. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT across our network, which our system calculates by road distance from our primary Birmingham depot. You receive a specific delivery window and collection time slot, helping your build-up and break-down schedules. Our team offloads equipment directly to your stand or designated area. This eliminates the need for you to transport heavy items from a central drop-off point. Our drivers understand the specific entry protocols for central Birmingham venues, preventing unnecessary delays on the morning of your event.
Every order includes a free Minor Damage Waiver, protecting you against accidental scratches or minor breakages. We require no security deposit, freeing up your budget for other event expenses. You can track your delivery vehicle live on the day using your order number and postcode, receiving an SMS ETA as the driver approaches. All international convention centre hire orders take place entirely online without the need for a phone call. Prices and live stock levels display directly on the site, allowing you to plan your budget accurately. Add your required items to the basket and confirm your dates online to secure your booking.
