Our locations
With decades of experience supporting exhibitions, conferences and major live events, Xpect has become a trusted furniture partner for organisers across the UK and beyond.
From large international exhibitions to prestigious sporting events and global conferences, our team works behind the scenes to create functional, professional and welcoming event environments.
United Kingdom Operations
Xpect Furniture’s UK operations are strategically based in Luton, Bedfordshire — a prime location that provides excellent access to London and all major venues within the M25, as well as strong connectivity to key exhibition centres nationwide located near the M1.
Our 45,000 sq ft warehouse houses over 50,000 items of furniture and event stock, giving us the scale, flexibility, and readiness to support events of any size or complexity.
This significant in-house capacity enables Xpect to mobilise quickly, respond efficiently to client requirements, and deliver with confidence — ensuring reliability, consistency, and seamless execution across every project.
France & European Capability
Through its global headquarters in Lyon and a network of offices across key locations in France, the GL events Group provides a strong and established presence to support events and exhibitions across Europe.
This infrastructure ensures that Xpect clients benefit from extensive regional expertise, robust logistical support, and seamless delivery for continental events.
In addition, our well-established furniture brands — La Maison Vachon, Fonction Meuble, and GL Mobilier — offer immediate access to a wide and diverse product range across Europe. This enables us to scale projects efficiently, source locally where required, and deliver consistent quality and design across international exhibitions.
Together, this integrated European network provides flexibility, reliability, and enhanced capability — ensuring successful delivery for events both within the UK and across the wider continent.
Global Reach
With operations spanning almost 100 countries, the GL events Group delivers an exceptional global footprint, positioning Xpect to support events on an international scale.
The Group plays a leading role in the global events industry, delivering over 200 exhibitions worldwide each year and operating more than 40 international venues. This extensive network provides unparalleled reach, expertise, and infrastructure across key markets.
For our clients, this translates into the confidence of working with a partner that can seamlessly support projects beyond the UK and Europe — offering consistent quality, scalable solutions, and trusted delivery across multiple territories.
This global capability ensures that wherever your event takes place, Xpect — backed by the strength of GL events — can deliver a coordinated, reliable, and high-quality experience.
