Perhaps it might not be the most obvious sector for hiring furniture and equipment hire, but it’s true to say that there’s always a great deal of demand from the education sector in terms of schools, colleges and universities up and down the country.
So, in today’s blog, we thought we’d take a look at some equipment rental often needed by these establishments.
There’s a huge amount that goes on in terms of open days, freshers weeks and other events and occasions in the calendar of large colleges and universities, and that’s not even mentioning the graduation ceremonies! Trestle tables are always in demand, whether they are for the main hall for society’s week, to introduce the new starters to the various clubs available, or whether it’s to house the graduation gowns and mortar boards that are being rented for the students’ special day.
And talking about graduation ceremonies, for the larger establishments, these can often run over an entire week, with multiple ceremonies taking place each day, with the students and their families being invited along to share their successes. Folding chairs are a great example of furniture hire for universities that is especially required at the end of the term, in May / June. These are often hired in their hundreds, and the linking folding chairs especially are in demand, as it’s important that straight rows of chairs are maintained in the graduation hall, despite a lot of human movement during the day.
Naturally, for schools, colleges and universities, there is always demand for exam desks and chairs at certain points in the year, and so the message is always to get your order placed well in advance, as you can be sure that there will be multiple establishments all needing stock, nationwide, around the same time. Exam furniture hire certainly is a popular choice!
Portable stages are also useful items of equipment hire for temporary events such as school concerts, performances, or even just for the invigilator at the front of the exam hall, so they can keep their eyes on what’s going on! Portable stage units are available to piece together from Event Hire UK, to the size you need.
These are freestanding dividing screens which provide a bit of privacy, and so whether it’s an open day when you want to segregate the courses, or whether it’s the fresher’s week society day when you need to do a similar thing, space dividing screens are always a great idea as part of your equipment hire list.
And last, but by no means least, tableware and other equipment hire that you might need for catering an event. This might be anything from hundreds of covers of knives, forks and spoons for a university or college summer ball, or it might just be coffee percolators, water boilers and some tea and coffee cups.
