Exhibition Stand Installation and Dismantling at the NEC and UK Venues

We handle the whole on-site job, from the moment the stand leaves our workshop to the moment the hall floor is clear.

• Transport and logistics from our Tamworth base to the venue, timed to your hall access slot.
• Build-up and installation: assembly of the custom structure, flooring, walls, counters, storerooms and furniture.
• Electrics and lighting: first fix and final test by our own electricians, from lightboxes to display lighting.
• Graphics fitting: panels, vinyls and lightbox prints hung straight and clean, checked before you arrive.
• Snagging and handover: we walk the stand with you before the show opens.
• Breakdown and de-rig after the final day, with everything removed from the hall on schedule.
• Storage of reusable parts between shows, quoted separately.

We only do this for custom stands, for spaces from 20 square metres up to 100 square metres.

Before the show. We submit the stand design to the organiser for approval and complete the CDM declaration. Risk assessments, method statements and any structural paperwork go in with it. We book your hall access, vehicle passes and on-site services.

Build-up days. Our team arrives for the slot allocated by the organiser. Floor goes down, structure goes up, electrics are run and tested, graphics are fitted last so they stay clean. Most stands in our size range are built and dressed well inside the standard build-up period.

Handover. We walk the stand with you, check every light, clean the surfaces and hand you the storeroom key. If something is not right, we fix it before we leave.

Show days. You exhibit. We can stay reachable throughout.

Breakdown. We return as soon as the hall opens for de-rig. The stand comes apart in the right order, reusable elements are wrapped and crated, and the space is handed back empty. De-rigging takes nearly as much labour as build-up, so it is never an afterthought in our planning or our quotes.

The NEC Birmingham is our home venue, about 20 minutes from the workshop. That closeness is practical, not marketing. A short run means tighter scheduling, easier re-supply during build-up and a quicker response if a client changes their mind on site.

We also install and de-rig regularly at:

• The ICC Birmingham and Resorts World Arena
• Coventry Building Society Arena
• ExCeL London
• Olympia London
• Harrogate Convention Centre
• International shows, where transport and logistics are planned to suit

We have designed and built Lely's key UK event stand at the NEC for six consecutive years, and built the BSA Guns stand in Hall 6 at The Great British Shooting Show, NEC Birmingham. Clients include Soudal, Pinarello, Dentally, Journeo, Software of Excellence and Horiba Mira.

It suits you if you are exhibiting on a space between 20 and 100 square metres, you want a custom stand designed and made from scratch for one brand and one space, and you want one contractor accountable for design, build, graphics, transport, installation and breakdown.

It is not for you if you want an off-the-shelf modular system. Modular stands are pre-manufactured pole and panel, pop-ups or aluminium frames with infill panels, made to standard sizes at a standard height of about 2.5 metres, and they can be self-built. They suit exhibitors doing five or more shows a year on a modest budget. Hybrid stands mix modular elements, usually system lightboxes, with purpose-built sections, and are much less common now.

We build custom stands only. We explored modular systems many times over the years and invested in the kit, but clients consistently asked for more personalisation, greater height and shape, and a more dynamic presence. We still use system components such as lightboxes inside a custom build where they are the right answer.
