Exhibition & Brand Activation Specialists

Brand experiences that stop people mid-step.

Custom stand design, build and AV integration for ExCeL, Olympia, NEC and brand activations across the UK.

ExCeL Olympia & NEC

Custom Stand Builds

Full AV Integration

6 Activation Types

A great stand earns the visit. A great activation earns the conversation.

On a busy show floor, you have about three seconds to convince someone to stop. The stand has to do it first: scale, presence, brand colour, a moment that pulls the eye. Then the experience has to do the rest: a demo that works, a screen that tells the story, a place to sit that feels welcoming, an offer worth giving up the contact details for.

We design and build custom exhibition stands, brand activations and pop ups from scratch. Designed in house, fabricated in our London workshop, and installed by the team that made them. Integrated AV, lighting, interactive technology and large format print supplied from a single coordinated production team.

For trade shows we cover the major UK venues: ExCeL, Olympia, NEC, Business Design Centre and bespoke venues. For brand activations, we cover pop ups, roadshow tours, retail takeovers, sporting events and outdoor festivals. From a 3 metre inline shell scheme to a 200 square metre island stand with two storey hospitality.

Brand Activation

Pop-ups and roadshow activations in high traffic locations.

Our exhibition team

Designers, project managers, fabricators and show day crew. One brief from concept to break down.

Stand Designers

Project Managers

Single point of contact for the build: venue liaison, supplier coordination, method statements and risk assessments, on site management during build, show and breakdown. They run the schedule.

Fabricators & Install Crew

Workshop and install crew who build the stand. Powder coat, paint and finish to brand spec. On site assembly during build up. Strip and removal during breakdown. Same crew so they know how every piece fits.

AV Integrators

Show technicians who integrate screens, kiosks, lighting and sound into the stand. Show day support throughout open hours. Spare parts on hand for show floor fixes. Standby cover for high profile activations.
