Executive Hire Show 2027 Marks 20 Years with Major Show Changes.

The Executive Hire Show returns to the CBS Arena, Coventry, on 10 and 11 February 2027, with more than 30 companies exhibiting for the first time and a series of new additions planned for the show’s 20th anniversary.
Confirmed exhibitors include JCB, Kubota, SANY UK & Ireland, LiuGong Machinery UK, Liebherr, Thwaites, Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe, Atlas Copco Power Technique, Hilti, Milwaukee, Husqvarna UK, Makita, Niftylift, JLG, Skyjack and Wirtgen Group.
A new professional services exhibitor category is also being introduced, widening the show beyond machinery and equipment to include companies supporting the commercial side of hire businesses.
There will also be a stronger drive to bring direct purchasers from major construction companies, housebuilders, facilities management businesses and Tier 1 contractors into the show.
Chris Moore, Publishing & Event Director for the Executive Hire Show, said:
“Twenty years is a real milestone for the Executive Hire Show and we have a lot planned for 2027. EHS has always been a place where people come to see kit, meet suppliers and do business, and that remains at the heart of the show”.
The aim for 2027 is to bring even more buyers into the halls, give visitors more to see and make it easier for people to have the conversations that matter.”
The 2027 event will also feature a new two-day conference programme, free for visitors to attend.
Speakers from across hire and construction will tackle subjects including the state of the market, machinery theft and fraud, AI, equipment utilisation, fuel and energy, safety and compliance, whole-life cost and the skills gap.
Networking will also have a different feel in 2027, with a new-look party and awards format focused on creating a more relaxed setting for exhibitors and visitors to meet.
The first day will close with a drinks reception and special 20th anniversary celebration, including a guest speaker and a toast to the hire industry.
A brand-new Executive Hire Show website will also launch ahead of the event, together with new sponsorship opportunities for companies wanting a bigger presence around the show.
Chris added:
“The hire market is changing and so are the people making buying decisions.
We want EHS to remain useful, relevant and focused on business. That means getting the right exhibitors, the right visitors and the right conversations into the same place.”
