Executive Hire Show 2027 in Coventry
Executive Hire Show runs on 10 and 11 February 2027 at CBS Arena in Coventry, marking the show's 20th anniversary.
What it is
The organiser describes it as the number one trade event for tools and compact plant. It serves two sides of the hire market: hire companies and buyers, and the manufacturers and solution providers who supply them. Exhibiting brands named by the organiser include Makita, Hilti, Atlas Copco, Vermeer and Niftylift, and hire companies such as Sunbelt Rentals, Speedy Hire and HSS attend.
New for 2027 are a New Exhibitor Zone for first-time suppliers and new products, expanded live demos across both days, and pre-booked meetings so visitors can arrange to see specific suppliers before arriving. The Innovation Trail, a free conference and The Passionate Hirer Awards also run during the show.
