Events often involve far more equipment than will fit into a car. Our Event & Equipment Transport service provides van transport for suitable stands, display materials, boxed equipment, tables, cases, supplies and other items travelling between storage, workplaces and event venues.
Good planning matters because venue access and timed loading areas can be strict. Send the venue, dates, collection location, item list and any loading instructions as early as possible.
## Exhibitions, markets, corporate events and local functions Different events create different transport needs, but the common requirement is getting the right equipment to the right place at the right time. A dedicated van can be useful for display stands, promotional materials, folding furniture, equipment cases, signage, stock and other appropriate event supplies. ## Venue access information Many venues have specific loading entrances, time slots, security procedures or restrictions on where vehicles can stop. Send those instructions before the job rather than relying on finding the correct entrance on arrival. If exhibitors need a booking reference, contact name or pass to use the loading area, arrange it in advance and provide any information we need for access. ## Outbound and return transport Event transport often has two stages: taking equipment to the venue and collecting it again after the event. If you need both, provide the setup and breakdown schedule at the start so the two journeys can be planned together. The return load may not be identical to the outbound load. Stock may have been sold, packaging may have changed and extra materials may need to return, so let us know if the final load is likely to differ substantially. ## Equipment between sites The service is also useful outside formal events. Businesses, community organisations and production teams may need suitable equipment moved between storage, offices, halls and temporary work sites. ## Prepare for efficient loading Labelled cases and clearly grouped equipment make event jobs much easier. Where possible, keep items together by stand, department or purpose so unloading at the venue does not create unnecessary searching. For a useful estimate, provide both addresses, venue instructions, dates and times, a description of the equipment and whether you require a return collection after the event.
