easyEventhire

What easyEventhire does

easyEventhire is a UK-based event equipment rental company founded in 1995 and operating as part of the easy family of brands under easyGroup Holdings (Sir Stelios Ioannou). The company rents furniture, catering equipment, and event accessories to event organizers across the United Kingdom, with a product catalogue spanning chairs, tables, sofas, dance floors, bars, outdoor furniture, refrigeration, cooking and serving equipment, crockery, cutlery, and glassware. The underlying operating model is a short-term rental business with three-day, weekly, or multi-week hire periods and unit pricing ranging from £0.20 to £4 per item for crockery and glassware. All prices are subject to VAT, and cancellation fees scale with proximity to the event date.

The company runs a self-serve e-commerce platform at easyeventhireuk.com supported by four UK depots (London, Walsall/Midlands as headquarters, Manchester/North West, and Bradford/North) that enable nationwide coverage and free customer self-collection. The website supports 24/7 browsing, online quote generation, and checkout via credit/debit cards, with a deferred payment system requiring manual sales team approval before charging. There is no proprietary technology stack disclosed beyond standard e-commerce and inventory management functionality; no API, SDK, or AI capabilities are offered. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-customer through the company's own website and depot network.

Commercially, easyEventhire serves a primary segment of corporate events (conferences, exhibitions, press conferences, shareholder meetings) and secondary segments of weddings, private parties, festivals, trade shows, and funerals. Named customers include HSBC, Adidas, BHP, Unilever, Tesco, and the NHS, indicating meaningful enterprise exposure alongside a long tail of SMB and individual bookings. The company operates as a marketing platform owned by Signature made commerce limited, with Event Furniture Limited (Registered No. 5362649) acting as the actual rental service provider. Differentiators include budget-friendly pricing, UK-wide coverage with four depots, a carbon-neutral hire option via a CO2 offsetting program, and SafeHire / Event Hire Association certifications.
