Make an Impact With Custom Stands
Custom exhibition stand design and build can be the key to successfully showcasing your brand at an event. These bespoke exhibition stands offer more than just a unique edge to stand out from the crowd, it also gives you the space and flexibility to turn your dream of huge event impact, into a reality.
We understand that coming up with the perfect design for your exhibition stand can be a daunting task. That’s why we have a team of in-house custom exhibition stand designers on hand to guide you through the process. From initial concept to the final build, we work closely with you to ensure that every detail is perfect.
Our custom built exhibition stands are tailored to your specific requirements, meaning that no two stands are ever the same. We take the time to understand your brand, your message, and your business objectives, so that we can create a stand that truly reflects who you are and what you need.
Tried and Tested
We pride ourselves on our creative brief taking.
In collaboration with our clients, we leave no stone unturned, working with you to curate an accurate and effective brief to understand your custom exhibition stand design and build objectives.
Our in-house custom exhibition stand designers then get to work on understanding your brief.
When understanding your brief, they apply their years of exhibition experience defining methods, researching engagement strategies and considering the sustainability approach to your stand development.
Ideas then become reality.
Through concept development, sketch designs and finally 3D renders, we present your bespoke exhibition stands and any amends required, ready to move into production and build phase.

As a hugely experienced company, we pride ourselves on our exceptional attention to detail; both in our on-going pursuit in the ethical provision of resources, to our absolute dedication in crafting the most engaging live experiences for our clients. We're the perfect mix of energy and experience, always adapting to the ever-changing bespoke exhibition stand landscape to build connection-driven spaces. Young enough to think freely, but old enough to know best.
An exhibition design and build agency handles every stage of the stand, from initial brief through concept design, fabrication, install and dismantle. Creation handles and manages all of it in-house for a stress free experience for our clients.
Whilst there are so many variables to consider, when we opt to use custom exhibition stand build methods, they range from £15,000 to £500,000+ depending on size and complexity. These are typically more expensive than the modular approach we use can which can achieve a more cost effective exhibition stand starting from £10,000 compared to shell scheme stands from £5,000. We take time to listen to your brief, and if you need a complex exhibition stand because of specific requirements, we will create something custom, whilst being conscious of your budget. Or at the other of the scale, you may want a custom double-deck exhibition stand which can vary between £150,000 all the way up to £500,000 or more for something off the scale!
Interactive technology turns a passive visitor into an active participant and creates the shareable moments that justify an activation budget. Options include touchscreens and configurators, AR and VR, motion-reactive walls, RFID or QR-triggered content and live social or content capture.
First off, it is important to note that often you won't know. We design you a great exhibition stand that fits your budget and your needs. The materials behind the scenes are our expertise, you do not need to choose.
Custom exhibition stands are designed and built from scratch where the sky is the limit, using various materials to achieve more ambitious designs using such materials as timber, glass, plastics, metal, GRP etc.
Modular exhibition stands use reusable components that reconfigure for different venues and sizes. Modular stand booths are designed and built with sustainability at their core whilst ensuring they still look just as good as bespoke exhibition stands, just slightly more limited on what can structurally be achieved.
Exhibition stand design and build involves two key parts; the exhibition stand design, and the exhibition stand build. The time in between that is where exhibition stand project management takes place.
We always advise clients to start the process as far in advance as possible ensuring we can dive properly into your brand and your vision, create an outstanding exhibition stand design and allow the time to make any amendments that you need. We take care of all the venue and organiser deadlines, and the sooner we begin, the more efficient we can be.
Anything less than 8 weeks, the timeline has to be more compact. However we have built over 600sqm of exhibition stands at COP26 with just over 3 weeks’ notice! (please don’t aim for 3 week timelines!) Notwithstanding, we are experts in making big dreams come true with tight deadlines if you are last minute.
A summary guideline of realistic timings:
Modular Exhibition Stands: 1-3 months
Custom Exhibition Stands: 2-6 months
Complex Double-deck exhibition stands: 4-12 months.
Double-decker exhibition stands look amazing and stand you out from the crowd literally and metaphorically. We own our own double deck structure so that we can design and build double deck exhibition stands cost effectively and sustainably.
