Think of events, and you are probably already thinking of a wedding, gala dinner or other sit-down dinner event, and for these types of events, table and chair hire is the order of the day…and nothing to do with office furniture hire that we are looking at in today’s blog.
However, office furniture hire is one of our most popular sectors when it comes to event furniture hire as a whole. But how can that be?
Well, it’s a fairly simple equation – major events need a large amount of office furniture hire items. For the event production offices, through to the security areas, press conference areas and media centres. Office desks and chairs, filing cabinets, lockable cupboards, fans and even waste paper bins are just a few examples of the type of office equipment that is needed for these sorts of events. And, it stands to reason that the larger and more prestigious the event, the more items they will need to hire when it comes to office furniture and more.
Our range of office furniture hire here at Event Hire UK is extensive, offering event professionals everything they need to furnish their event spaces behind the scenes in the very best way possible. We’d encourage you to browse our range and consider what is going to work best for you and your event. And, even though you might not think it, you need to hire office furniture well in advance, especially if your event is taking place in the summer.
Why? Well, because this rule applies to any and all equipment hire, in that demand for literally everything is at its peak in the summer, due to the peak in events that take place. OK, so office furniture hire might not yet be on your radar, as we realise it’s not the most exciting of topics, but it’s certainly worth bearing this in mind.
So, when you need office furniture rentals, let’s have a look at what you need to check before you take the plunge with any furniture hire company.
This might sound obvious, but the last thing you’ll want in the lead up to a busy event is having to coordinate multiple deliveries of office furniture hire – you’ve got enough on your plate!
Check that your executive furniture hire company of choice is able to provide you with the complete set of furniture items, from desks, chairs, cupboards and cabinets, and much more. If you can hire everything from the same place, then this keeps your life simple and hassle-free, with one point of contact, one delivery, one collection and one invoice at the end!
Again, this might sound obvious, but even though your event production offices might be behind the scenes, you still need them to be not just efficient and effective, but also professional in look. Yes, your internal staff will be in there, but subcontractors will also be visiting, along with members of the international media.
Therefore, all your office furniture hire needs to match and be in keeping with the overall look you are trying to achieve. If you are hiring white desks, then do they have white cupboards, and so on. You don’t want a mishmash of different colours and styles of office furniture rental, so check with your furniture hire company that everything is in order on this front.
We’ve already touched on the need for big quantities of office furniture hire items being available, as you wouldn’t believe how many media centre desks are required for major international golf events, for instance – it is in the hundreds!
Add the fact that we offer a nationwide furniture hire service, and the best furniture rental companies need to hold vast stocks to be able to service not just one event, but multiple events at the same time across the country. It’s important, therefore, that you check with your office furniture hire company of choice that they have what you need, in the quantities you need.
A small, but very important thing to check is whether your office furniture hire items are lockable. Event production offices and media centres are busy environments, with lots of people movement. OK, so you’d like to think that you can trust the people you are working with, but peace of mind is always good to have. Locking personal items in your desk drawer, for example, is essential when you go for lunch, for instance.
Here at Event Hire UK, you’ll find lockable cupboards, locking filing cabinets, lockable pedestal drawers on so on, providing you with safe and efficient working spaces to do your thing!
And last, but by no means least, you should look for a furniture hire company that is as local as possible to your event. This makes sense on a number of different levels, including the fact that any last minute orders and changes can more easily be accommodated, and the fact that your transport charge will be lower, the closer you are to the company. We all have budgets to work to, and office furniture rental for events is no exception!
So, when you are choosing where to hire office furniture for events, we hope that these things to check will prove to be a useful resource for you. Ultimately, they should save you time, money and effort!
And, when that time comes, don’t hesitate to search us up on Google by typing in ‘office furniture hire near me’, and the chances are that we’ll show up.
