Key industries in Coventry
Coventry hosts major exhibitions, conferences and live events across the CBS Arena and Coventry Building Society Arena—two landmark venues drawing exhibitors, AV companies, stand builders, hospitality firms and brand activators from across the UK. T&C Logistics serves this sector with same-day delivery of exhibition kit, stage equipment, marketing materials, costumes, props and refreshment stock. We understand venue security protocols, restricted-access requirements and the unforgiving timeline of live events. With 30-minute collection windows and Mon-Sun 8am-8pm dispatch, we're built for the last-minute rider, the broken equipment swap and the high-pressure load-in. Based in the West Midlands, we're embedded in Coventry's events ecosystem—partnering with organisers, AV rental houses and stand contractors who can't afford delays.
Event and exhibition courier in Coventry
Coventry's event infrastructure centres on two major venues: the CBS Arena (15,000+ capacity, multi-purpose events, live music, conferences) and Coventry Building Society Arena (home of Coventry City FC; also hosts exhibitions, trade shows and corporate events). Both venues present logistical challenges—temporary set-up periods, multiple contractor arrivals, weather-dependent outdoor site access, and overlapping load-in windows that leave no room for courier delays.
T&C Logistics holds relationships with venue management, security teams and event organisers across both arenas. We know the access points, parking restrictions, load-in protocols and turnaround expectations. Whether you're delivering exhibition stand components, audiovisual gear, hospitality equipment or last-minute décor, we navigate Coventry's venue ecosystem with precision and speed.
Cargo we handle for event organisers
Exhibition stands and components: Modular panels, flooring, branding materials, electrical cabling, display screens, furniture and structural elements—collected from manufacturers or warehouses and delivered direct to your booth space.
Audiovisual and technical kit: Projectors, sound systems, LED screens, lighting rigs, control equipment and broadcast cables. We handle fragile AV gear with white-glove care and ensure arrival before soundcheck deadlines.
Hospitality and catering stock: Branded glassware, table linens, serving equipment, branded packaging, fridges and catering consumables for VIP zones and client entertainment areas.
Marketing and promotional materials: Banners, posters, product samples, giveaway merchandise, signage and brand collateral for distribution across the event floor.
Costumes, props and stage décor: Performance wear, set pieces, backdrops, themed furnishings and on-stage props for live entertainment or brand activations.
Replacement and emergency gear: Backup equipment, spare parts, costume changes, emergency supplies and contingency stock for mid-event crises.
Venue access and security coordination
Event sites operate under strict security and access control. We liaise directly with venue management and event organisers to obtain backstage passes, restricted-area credentials and vehicle parking authorisation. Our drivers understand chain-of-custody protocols, load verification requirements and site-specific traffic management. We don't treat venue access as an afterthought—it's integrated into every booking.
For multi-day exhibitions and festival-style events, we coordinate repeat access, managing phased load-ins and load-outs around your schedule, not ours.
Time-critical event response
Live events don't pause for logistics. If your AV projector fails during setup, your stand graphics don't arrive, or a performer's costume is missing—we respond. Our 30-minute collection window and Mon-Sun 8am-8pm dispatch mean you can call at 2pm and have replacement kit on-site by 3pm. We maintain standing relationships with equipment rental houses, specialist warehouses and supplier networks across the West Midlands, enabling rapid sourcing and delivery of emergency items.
Vehicles for event sites
Small van (Astra/Combo): Ideal for backstage access, restricted parking zones and indoor venue deliveries. Handles AV kits, hospitality supplies, smaller stand components and time-critical single items.
Luton van: Best for full exhibition stands, bulk catering stock, large AV rigs and high-volume furniture deliveries. Suitable for site parking where space permits.
Specialist vehicles: We source 4WD or flatbed options for festival sites, outdoor venues and uneven terrain if required.
All vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, GPS-tracked and fully insured. We arrive with professional signage, uniformed drivers and documentation to match your venue's expectations.

“Events logistics isn't about having a van—it's about understanding the pressure. A soundcheck can't be delayed, a VIP can't wait, and a broken stand component can sink a brand activation. We don't just deliver—we keep the show on schedule.” — T&C Logistics Founder
