Contact Radio has a wealth of experience in delivering two way radio rental to events & exhibitions throughout the UK and into Europe, backed up by out of working hours support.

Our dedicated account managers can take care of everything for you – if you are looking to buy we offer a complete solution with the option of hiring additional equipment on an adhoc basis, and if you are looking to hire we take care of delivery to venue, collection from venue, make any necessary licence applications if needed. We really do make it easy to hire!

We appreciate an event takes so much planning and that is why our experienced team do as much as they can to sort out your two way radio requirements with minimal effort on your part.

We regularly hire to events at some of the most iconic exhibition centres across the UK to include Excel, the NEC, Olympia, Exhibition Centre Liverpool and ICC Wales.

We also hire to events at showgrounds, racecourses and stadiums across the country – In our 35 years of trading it is highly likely that we have had equipment at a venue you are using which will give you confidence in knowing the radio equipment we supply will provide adequate coverage for the halls/venue you have tenancy in!

If you would rather carry out a trial to ensure radio coverage is achievable, we can either forward equipment for you to carry out a recce or meet up in person on site.

And if an event runs over or a collection isn’t made, we will make all of the necessary arrangements to ensure return of the equipment at no extra cost to you or your client.
