The 2022 edition of the annual Showman's Show took place in October - this is the leading exhibition for outdoor services and suppliers to the events industry, and Event Hire UK was once again supporting this event. Our stand on Avenue C was visited by lots of both new and familiar faces, with many of our management team on site to meet and greet.  And one of the visitors to our stand will be lucky enough to win a luxury hamper worth £250 - details to be announced soon!

The summer just gone has seen the welcome return of weddings and events, and it's fair to say that the popularity of outdoor weddings is definitely on the increase.

The need for event professionals to furnish their spaces in the most fresh, clean and modern way has never been greater.  Especially for VIP hospitality lounges, the quality of furniture has to be exemplary. VIP hospitality is a huge part of any big event such as international tennis, golf, rugby and football tournaments, for instance.  Sponsors pay a lot of money to be associated with these events, and in return, look for valuable brand exposure as well as additional benefits such as tickets and invitations to hospitality during the event.…[ read more...]
