Exhibition kit, shop stock and business park drops in Harrogate

Events are a big part of Harrogate's business calendar. Exhibitors at the Convention Centre on King's Road and at shows on the Great Yorkshire Showground off Wetherby Road need stand kit, display units and stock brought in during a set build-up window and taken back out after the breakdown. Send the hall or stand number, the venue's delivery instructions and the time slot, and the van works to that schedule.

Shops in the Montpellier Quarter and around Parliament Street are a different job. Parking there is tightly controlled, so stock is best delivered before the shops open, unloaded from a legal stopping point onto the trolley and wheeled in. Hornbeam Park and Cardale Park, off Otley Road, have units where the van can get near the door, which makes them the quicker drops on a multi-stop round.

How Harrogate business deliveries are priced

The number of stops, loading time and any waiting at a venue decide the price. It is agreed before collection, and a repeat run is quoted the same way each time it is booked. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Business & Trade Deliveries in Harrogate: your questions

Can you deliver our stand to the Convention Centre?

Yes, within the venue's delivery window. Send the hall and stand number and the delivery instructions, and the van arrives in your slot and unloads to the stand.

Can you collect our kit after a show?

Yes. Book the breakdown collection when you book the delivery, as the loading area gets busy after big events and a set time helps.

Can you bring stock up from a Leeds wholesaler for our Harrogate shop?

Yes. Send the collection address, the order reference and your opening time, and the stock comes up the A61 to be wheeled in from the nearest legal stop.

Are you insured for commercial goods?

Cover is £10,000 goods in transit and £5 million public liability, which suits most shop stock and stand kit. If a consignment is worth more than that, say so at booking so you can arrange extra cover first.
