BE Event Hire supplies tables, chairs and exhibition furniture for conferences, exhibitions, corporate events and public events at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow.
Located beside the River Clyde, the SEC is one of Scotland’s principal event destinations. The campus brings together the SEC Centre, SEC Armadillo and OVO Hydro, providing spaces for exhibitions, conferences, business events, concerts, sporting events and public shows.
BE Event Hire has more than 50 years of experience supplying event furniture throughout the UK. With more than 10,000 tables and 30,000 chairs available, we can support smaller event requirements as well as exhibitions and conferences requiring substantial quantities of matching furniture.
Event Furniture Hire at the SEC
The variety of venues and event spaces across the Scottish Event Campus creates equally varied furniture requirements.
An exhibition in the SEC Centre can require tables and chairs across numerous stands, registration areas, conference spaces and visitor facilities. Conferences and business events can need substantial delegate seating alongside furniture for breakout rooms, speakers, networking and hospitality.
BE Event Hire can supply these requirements in the same order, including furniture for public areas, organisers, event staff, and temporary operational spaces.
Our extensive event furniture hire range provides practical options for exhibitions, conferences and other temporary event layouts at the SEC.
Table Hire at the SEC Glasgow
Tables are used throughout exhibitions and conferences for stands, registration, meetings, demonstrations, catering, hospitality and event administration.
BE Event Hire stocks more than 10,000 tables, with an extensive table hire range suitable for the different spaces across the Scottish Event Campus.
Traditional trestle tables provide a particularly practical option for exhibitions, registration areas and temporary event facilities. Our wider collection includes banquet tables for seated functions, bistro tables for informal areas and high tables for receptions and networking.
You can combine different styles within the same hire, depending on the requirements of individual event areas.
Our substantial stockholding also means we can supply hundreds or thousands of matching tables where an exhibition or conference requires consistent furniture across multiple areas.
Chair Hire at the SEC Glasgow
Seating requirements can vary from a handful of chairs for an individual exhibition stand to substantial quantities for conferences, presentations and public events.
With more than 30,000 chairs available, BE Event Hire can supply seating for events of very different sizes at the SEC.
Our seating hire range covers practical event seating alongside chairs suited to conferences, banquets, hospitality areas and exhibition stands.
For conferences, dinners and formal functions, our banqueting chairs provide comfortable seating that can be supplied in substantial matching quantities. Contemporary chairs, stools, and other seating can also be used in networking, reception, and hospitality spaces.
Different chair styles can be included within the same order, allowing seating to be selected according to the function of each part of the event.
Exhibition Hire at the SEC Glasgow
The SEC Centre hosts exhibitions, trade shows and consumer events throughout the year, creating furniture requirements for organisers, contractors and individual exhibitors.
Our exhibition furniture hire range provides options for stands, registration areas, demonstrations, meeting spaces, sponsor areas, temporary offices and visitor facilities.
We can supply furniture across an entire exhibition or in smaller quantities for individual exhibitors needing tables, chairs, or other items for their stands.
Our wider exhibition and education hire range provides additional options for conferences, educational events and other temporary layouts.
The Scottish Event Campus
The Scottish Event Campus sits beside the River Clyde in Glasgow and incorporates three distinctive venues.
The SEC Centre provides five interconnected exhibition and event halls suitable for trade shows, consumer exhibitions, conferences and corporate events. Its flexible floor space allows organisers to create exhibition stands, conference areas, hospitality spaces, and other temporary layouts to suit each event’s requirements.
The SEC Armadillo is the campus’s distinctive auditorium and is particularly suited to conferences, presentations, ceremonies and live events.
The OVO Hydro provides the campus with a major arena for concerts, entertainment and sporting events, while also supporting other events requiring substantial audience capacity.
Together, these venues allow the SEC to accommodate very different event formats within the same campus.
The Scottish Event Campus is also included within our wider national event venues section, covering furniture hire at major exhibition and conference destinations throughout the UK.
Furniture for Conferences and Exhibitions
Furniture requirements at the SEC often extend beyond the main exhibition stand or conference seating.
Registration areas can require trestle tables and chairs for event staff. Conference spaces may need rows of consistent seating alongside tables for speakers, while seminar and breakout rooms can use different arrangements for smaller groups.
Exhibition stands may require tables, chairs and stools for displays and conversations with visitors. Networking areas can use high tables and informal seating, while catering spaces, organiser offices and temporary staff areas create further requirements.
Using one furniture supplier across these areas can simplify ordering while allowing different furniture styles and quantities to be combined within the same hire.
Furniture Hire Across the SEC Campus
The different venues within the SEC campus mean organisers may need furniture for considerably different environments.
A trade exhibition in the SEC Centre might emphasise trestle tables, folding chairs, and exhibition furniture. A conference may require delegate seating, tables for breakout sessions, and furniture for networking areas, while corporate hospitality can include round tables, banqueting chairs, and more informal seating.
BE Event Hire’s extensive stock lets you plan furniture around the individual event, rather than being limited to a small selection of tables and chairs.
For events using several areas, substantial quantities of matching furniture can also be supplied to maintain consistency across the event.
Delivery and Collection at the SEC Glasgow
Major exhibitions and conferences operate around scheduled build and breakdown periods, making delivery and collection planning an important part of furniture hire.
BE Event Hire supplies events nationwide and is accustomed to working with professional organisers when quantities, access arrangements, and transport schedules must be established in advance.
For substantial orders, providing your event dates, furniture quantities, venue information and relevant access instructions early allows us to allocate stock and plan transport accordingly.
We can also arrange weekend and out-of-hours delivery or collection where required, although additional charges may apply.
