Home How we work
An exhibition stand is a project with a hard deadline — the venue opens at a fixed time and that cannot be moved. Here is the whole process from your perspective: the decisions we make together and where you can rely on our support.
Brief and floor space
We start by asking what the stand actually has to do: host sales conversations, display products, run tastings or provide private rooms for B2B meetings. We also need the industry, budget and floor area, plus a hall plan showing the stand location, so we can choose the right build configuration. This information sets the direction of the design and helps us match the build to its location in the venue.
Concept and 3D visualisation
You get the design in 3D — the form of the stand, a plan view, the layout of storage, counter, display and meeting area, plus the choice of materials and colours. The visualisation also shows lighting, because at a fair that is what decides whether your stand is visible from the far end of the aisle. The process includes two consultation stages — time to discuss the concept and refine its details before approval.
Quote and schedule
One complete quote covering the build, graphics, furniture, lighting, utilities, transport, installation and dismantling. Plus a schedule with dates: when the design is locked, when it goes into production, when we move into the hall. We set out the scope and cost assumptions before production. If your decisions or the organiser's requirements change later — for example utilities, rigging or show fees — we explain the effect on cost before ordering any additional work.
Organiser paperwork
Every fair has its own build regulations, submission deadlines and forms. If a problem comes up, we always help you deal with the organiser — from ordering utilities and securing stand approval to obtaining exhibitor passes and vehicle permits for the showground.
Production and transport
We coordinate production of the build, sourcing of graphics, furniture and lighting, and organise transport. We make sure everything we agreed is reflected on the show floor, while you focus entirely on preparing to promote your business.
On-site installation
The installation crew assembles the stand in the hall, connects the utilities, sets the lighting, brings in the furniture and cleans the space. The stand is ready before the event opens to visitors — you arrive, lay out your products and get to work.
The show and support
We are on the phone for the duration of the show. If a bulb fails, an element comes loose or extra equipment is needed, we agree the response and act as quickly as the venue conditions allow.
Dismantling and storage
Once the venue closes, we coordinate dismantling within the window set by the organiser. Reusable elements — counters, furniture, structures and lighting — are stored so that at the next edition only the graphics and layout need to change instead of rebuilding everything from scratch.

Timing
The earlier you come to us, the more freedom the design has and the calmer production is. But we do take on short deadlines too — there are simply fewer decisions left open.
Full design freedom, time for several concept variants, unhurried production and the best terms from suppliers.
The most common scenario. One concept, two consultation stages, production and installation without rushing.
Workable if decisions come quickly. We simplify the design wherever production would take too long.
It happens — usually when the previous contractor drops out. Get in touch and we will tell you honestly whether we can make it.
Questions
Let's start with the brief
The show name, dates, floor area and a hall plan showing the stand location are enough to get started. Once we have reviewed the brief, we will confirm availability, ask for the materials we need and set out the next steps.
