Couriers for Events and Exhibitions

The doors open at nine whether your stand has arrived or not. We get your kit to the venue on time, inside the delivery slot, and bring it home afterwards.

Events have fixed start times

An exhibition, conference or launch does not wait for a late delivery. If the stand, the screens or the brochures are not there for the build-up, the whole event suffers.

Our event and exhibition courier service carries your kit on a dedicated vehicle, timed to the venue's delivery slot, with a driver who stays in touch with you on the way.

What we carry for events

  • Exhibition stands and pop-up displays
  • Screens, AV and lighting kit
  • Banners, signage and brochures
  • Product samples and giveaways
  • Forgotten items needed at the venue right now

Working with venue rules

Most venues give each exhibitor a delivery slot, a loading bay and a list of rules. Send us the venue's delivery details and your stand number when you book, and we will plan the run to arrive inside your slot.

Bulky stands and heavy cases travel on Luton vans with tail-lifts, so they can be unloaded safely at the bay. See our courier vehicles for sizes.

Breakdown and return

When the show closes, your kit needs to come home. We can book the return at the same time as the delivery, so a vehicle is waiting when breakdown starts.

The last-minute run

Every event team knows the feeling of a box left behind in the office. Call us and a driver is normally with you within 60 minutes in Greater Manchester, driving straight to the venue.

For the tightest deadlines, our express courier service dispatches immediately on a direct route.

Print and marketing material

Brochures and signage often come straight from the printer, sometimes the day before the show. We can collect from your printer and deliver to the venue in one run.

Our page on couriers for print and marketing covers that side of the work.

Events across the UK and Europe

We run same day to any venue in mainland UK, and our same day delivery across the UK page lists typical drive times.

For overseas trade shows, our international courier services run by road and ferry to mainland Europe and Ireland.

Stock and kit between events can be stored with us, as our storage, pick and pack page explains.

Planning checklist for event deliveries

  • Venue delivery slot and the loading bay you have been given.
  • Hall and stand number, so the driver can find you quickly.
  • A mobile number for someone on the stand during the build-up.
  • A list of items, with sizes and anything fragile.
  • The breakdown time, if you want us to bring it all back.

Send us this when you book and we will take care of the rest. If plans change on the day, call the same team and we will adjust the run, at any hour.
