What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

We used Bircherley Rentals to hire some Poster Boards for a corporate event, to display scientific posters. The event was in central London. From start to finish they were super easy to work with. The poster boards looked great. Would highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about our rental service

What is equipment hire?

Equipment hire is renting the kit you need for a fixed period rather than purchasing it outright. For companies attending exhibitions, conferences or trade shows, it makes more practical sense than buying as you only pay for the time you need the equipment and once your event is over it gets collected, leaving you with nothing to store, maintain or eventually dispose of.

It’s a model that works well for event technology, where the cost of buying laptops, screens or photocopiers outright rarely justifies use a few days or weeks a year. Hiring means you can predict costs per event and reduce cap ex.

How does equipment hire work?

It’s pretty straightforward, you tell us what you need, when you need it and where it needs to be. Bircherley Rentals will put together a quote based on your requirements, agree a hire rate and arrange delivery to your venue at a time that suits your setup schedule.

Everything arrives in working order, tested and ready to use. Once your event wraps up, we collect the equipment at an agreed time so there’s nothing left for your team to deal with. Throughout the hire period, our 24-hour support team is available should anything need attention.

What equipment do companies tend to hire for an exhibition?

Laptops, tablets and display boards are the most requested items, used for registration desks, demo stations and client-facing presentations on the stand. iPads have become a fixture at exhibitions, offering a portable way to walk through products, run surveys or capture contact details.

Screens work well for looping product videos, corporate presentations or simple brand messaging. Printers are regularly hired for producing handouts, badges and schedules, while photocopiers and multifunctional devices tend to be essential for operations at larger shows.

What does Bircherley Rentals rent for events, shows and conferences?

Bircherley Rentals supplies a range of technology and display equipment for events of all sizes. The main hire range includes printers, photocopiers and multifunctional devices from manufacturers such as Konica Minolta, Samsung, Canon and Olivetti, alongside laptops, desktops and monitors for temporary offices and event workstations.

Everything is available on short-term contracts with transparent pricing, fast UK-wide delivery and same-day options across London and the South East. A 24-hour support team is on hand throughout every hire period.

Trade exhibitions are back in vogue, growing 6.5% year on year, with over 7 million attendees

The UK exhibitions sector is in strong growth. According to the Events Industry Alliance SASIE 2024 report, there were an estimated 1,145 exhibitions and conferences at the UK's main venues in 2024, the highest number since 2017, up 4% on the previous year. Trade exhibitions saw a particularly strong recovery, rising 6.5% year on year. (1)

Total visits to UK exhibitions reached 7.2 million in 2024

The average exhibition attracted 6,300 visitors over a typical open period of just 2.1 days. The average exhibition had 119 exhibiting companies, with trade shows averaging 153 exhibitors per event. UK exhibitions generated over £87,000 in economic output per exhibitor in 2024, with the sector contributing £11.5 billion to the UK economy and supporting 126,000 jobs. (1)

3 to 5 years working life for tech

Business laptops and desktop computers have a practical working life of three to five years, according to HP's own guidance for UK business buyers, after which performance, security support and compatibility begin to drop. Hiring equipment means you always get a current, supported machine without the disposal cost at the end. (2)
