Our history goes back two decades.

Exhibit Hire is the exhibition arm of Furniture Hire UK, which was established back in 2004 by our founder Dan Smith. Furniture Hire UK supplies furniture for events, and Exhibit Hire supplies furniture for exhibitions.

Furniture Hire UK started with a team of four and our first premises was a 5,000 sq ft warehouse in South East London. We soon outgrew that building, and then the next, and then the next! In 2024 we moved to our new head office which will be our home for the foreseeable future.

In 2012 we opened our depot in Greater Manchester and then in 2021 we opened our depot in East Lanarkshire. Our three depots allow us to cover exhibition venues across the country.

Exhibit Hire actually began its journey separately to Furniture Hire UK. It was founded in 2007 in South Wales, and then expanded to London shortly after. We acquired the business in 2019 when the previous owners decided to retire. For several years we ran Exhibit Hire from a separate building in Southall (West London), however in 2022 we took the decision to consolidate both businesses into one main hub. This proved to be a great decision - it’s given Exhibit Hire access to an expanded fleet of vehicles and warehouse resources, and has therefore allowed us to expand our capacity massively.
