December is always a busy time of year for large event rental companies and this year has been a record one for Event Hire UK.  December, of course, means only thing – Christmas!  We’ve been busy around the country working closely with event organisers, historical venues and arenas to supply not only chair hire but also a huge amount of catering equipment, crockery, cutlery and glassware.  Of course, now that these are over, the job begins of collecting all the equipment, washing it in our distribution centres and getting it…[ read more...]

Most (and some would say, the best!) events involve some form of bar, whether it’s an informal conference or networking event where the organiser hires a temporary bar along with some sofas, poseur tables and stools, for instance, or whether it’s a bar at a large arena Christmas dining event such as this where once the ‘formalities’ of the dinner are over, the guests are able to buy their drinks from the large bar area.  Pictured here is one of our cocktail Zip bars on location at an arena Christmas…[ read more...]

The best event hire companies offer multiple ranges of tableware, catering for all different event types and – as importantly – in the quantities required to be able to service multiple events at any one time.  Take this example pictured, for instance, of an arena Christmas party where the organiser is catering for 2,000 covers – obviously in order to achieve this, the requirement for was 2,000 knives, forks, spoons, starter knives and forks, water glasses, wine glasses, dinner plates, dessert bowls and side plates….and that’s no even counting the…[ read more...]

Christmas always provides an opportunity to reflect, and this year sees Event Hire UK supplying tables and tablecloths free of charge to a non-profit organisation called Cherishers who provide free social care to the elderly and vulnerable members of the community.  Cherishers are providing a free Christmas dinner to anyone that would otherwise be alone at this time of year such as senior citizens and the homeless in the Rugeley area.  Even a small gesture such as this to a hugely worthwhile cause goes a long way to helping those people who, for whatever reason, are less fortunate…[ read more...]

We’ve been busy these past few weeks redesigning our showroom in our Midlands HQ.  The ‘showroom’ is actually a 2000 square feet indoor marquee packed with a huge variety of our different ranges.  At the moment, we’re showcasing furniture such as our Rio dining tables and high tables with the associated Rio chairs and Rio stools which are available in a variety of different colour options, our vintage tables with gun metal Tolix chairs, our corporate dining conical round tables with chairs and also a classic white wedding table with…[ read more...]
