We handle enquiry, concept, artwork, proof, paint or vinyl finish, preparation, delivery and collection, so your cart arrives ready for a corporate setting with a neat, professional look. This service is also available in Barbican London and surrounding areas.


Branded dry hire cart

A branded dry hire cart is a real sweet cart supplied without staffed serving. That makes it useful for offices, receptions, internal comms activations and employee engagement moments where your own team wants to manage the display, timing and guest flow. The cart can be used as a branded pick and mix point, a presentation feature or a self-serve sweet station for business audiences.

We work from a corporate brief rather than a party template. That means the finish, the wording, the colour choice and the supply format can all be shaped around your event objective. If the aim is to support a product launch, welcome staff to a town hall or create a branded workplace experience, the cart can be planned around that purpose.

What dry hire suits

  • Office receptions where a branded feature needs to look tidy and intentional.
  • Staff engagement days where your internal team prefers self-service.
  • Internal comms activations where brand messages need visible support.
  • Launch moments where the cart forms part of the set dressing.
  • Corporate celebration spaces where timing and presentation matter.

What is included

Branded dry hire is built around presentation, practicality and a clear handover. The cart is prepared before delivery, so your workplace team receives a clean, usable setup rather than loose components.

Typical inclusions depend on the brief, but the practical core stays the same:

  • Real cart hire for corporate use, not a generic prop.
  • In-house painting or vinyl application for branded finishes.
  • Prepared dry hire setup ready for your chosen event format.
  • Corporate delivery and collection planned around access and timing.
  • 5-star hygiene standards applied to the cart before handover.
  • Trained team handling for setup, movement and collection.

If you need the cart to arrive unfilled, partially dressed or matched to a particular campaign look, we can shape the specification during the planning stage. That keeps the final result aligned with the space, the audience and the message.


Branding choices

Branding is often the reason office managers and HR teams choose dry hire rather than a fully staffed sweet service. It allows more control over message, style and content, while still giving you a standout display.

Finish options

We can plan the cart as branded or unbranded, depending on whether the event needs a strong visual identity or a more neutral presentation. The cart can also be used for Promotional Cart Hire when the sweet display supports a workplace message, campaign or launch.

Display styles

  • Pick and mix styling for interactive self-serve moments.
  • Branded dry hire cart for a strong campaign look.
  • Personalised Sweet Displays for staff recognition or internal events.
  • Branded Sweets Bags for takeaway presentation and tidy distribution.

Artwork, colour placement and logo use are reviewed before production. That is particularly useful when the cart needs to sit among office signage, event backdrops or meeting-room branding without looking improvised.


Planning the brief

Corporate Events tend to move quickly, so the clearest results come from a brief that covers the essentials early. That helps avoid last-minute changes once artwork and production are under way.

  1. Date and venue

    Tell us the event date and the Barbican, London venue or office setting so delivery can be planned around access and timings.

  2. Guest numbers

    Approximate attendance helps us shape the cart size, presentation format and sweet selection.

  3. Event use

    Explain whether the cart is for staff engagement, a client-facing moment, an internal launch or another workplace purpose.

  4. Branding materials

    Send logos, colour references and artwork early so the proof process can begin without delay.

  5. Access details

    Let us know about loading areas, lift use, reception sign-in or any site restrictions that affect delivery and collection.

Independent-supplier status matters here. We coordinate directly with your office team, event lead or facilities contact rather than assuming venue arrangements are already sorted. That keeps responsibility clear and helps the setup run smoothly.


How visits work

The process is straightforward, but each stage matters for a clean corporate result. For branded dry hire, the order of work keeps the finish consistent and the timing manageable.

  1. Enquiry

    You share the event date, Barbican location, guest count and intended use.

  2. Concept

    We shape the cart style around your workplace objective and display needs.

  3. Artwork

    You send logos or artwork, and we check layout requirements.

  4. Proof

    A proof is prepared for review before production begins.

  5. Paint or vinyl

    The cart is finished in-house to match the approved look.

  6. Preparation

    The cart is readied for the agreed dry hire format and checked for presentation.

  7. Delivery and collection

    We plan transport and handover around your access window, then collect once the event is complete.

This structure works well for office managers and HR teams because it reduces guesswork. Everyone knows what is being supplied, when it is arriving and who is responsible for each stage.


Case study snapshots

Below are real case-study structures we use for corporate planning, with sensitive details left as placeholders where a client-specific reference is not supplied.

Staff launch display

Goal: Support an internal launch with a branded focal point that felt polished and easy to manage.

Solution: A dry hire cart finished with company colours and logo placement, supplied for self-serve use by the workplace team.

Branding: Vinyl detailing and a simple branded front panel to keep the message visible from the entrance and reception areas.

Logistics: Delivery timed around building access and collection arranged after the event window.

Proof placeholder: Client name withheld.

Employee appreciation day

Goal: Create a more engaging break-time moment for staff without adding service pressure on the day.

Solution: A branded dry hire cart paired with self-service sweets and branded bags for easy distribution.

Branding: A cleaner unbranded finish with campaign messaging layered through signage and product labels.

Logistics: Coordinated with internal communications and facilities to confirm access and set-up timing.

Proof placeholder: Internal event reference only.


Comparison cards

Different corporate formats call for different cart styles. These comparisons help teams choose the right setup before artwork is confirmed.

Branded or unbranded

Branded: Better when the cart needs to carry a campaign, launch or company identity.

Unbranded: Better when the display should sit quietly within a wider event design.

Dry hire or staffed

Dry hire: Suits office teams who want control over service and timing.

Staffed: Suits events where a managed service adds convenience and presentation support.

Pick and mix or display only

Pick and mix: Works for interactive workplace moments.

Display only: Works when the cart supports signage, gifting or launch styling rather than direct serving.


Barbican delivery

For Barbican, London bookings, the main priority is access coordination. We plan around your office or venue instructions, then work with the details you provide on loading, sign-in, lift access and collection timing. That is especially important for corporate spaces where arrival windows can be narrow and the event schedule is fixed.

We also cover nearby central and east London business areas including City of London, Westminster, Islington, Camden, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth, Kensington and Chelsea, and Shoreditch. If your event sits across more than one workspace or building, tell us early so the delivery plan can reflect that.

Because we are an independent supplier, we do not assume venue permissions, storage arrangements or on-site support. The clearer the access notes, the easier it is to keep the cart on time and presentation-ready.
