Exhibition, Spatial Design and Build

Exhibition stand design & build

Spaces that work as hard as your brand

Custom and modular exhibition stands, designed, fabricated and installed by our in-house team. We’ll bring your ideas to life.

Whether you need a 3m shell scheme or a 200sqm showstopper, we get to know you, your business and what you want the stand to do. We look for where it can invite interaction, not just carry your brand. Plus, we bring our spatial design and fabrication teams in early to make sure every sketch is buildable and designed with sustainability in mind. One team carries your project through from first concept to completion.    

Our exhibition and spatial capabilities

Exhibition stand design and build, from concept to the show floor

Production bureau designs, manufactures and installs exhibition stands from our facilities in Norfolk. Over more than 35 years, we’ve developed exhibition and trade show stand designs for clients in a range of sectors, including pharmaceutical, life sciences, technology and automotive at events around the world. Our work runs from small stands through to custom builds, with storage and refurbishment in between, so your stand stays relevant and engaging between shows.

Modular exhibition stands for maximum impact

Modular exhibition stands give you a space you can refresh and reuse at every show without compromising on impact. We create the frame once, then adapt the graphics and layout to suit each event, so your stand stays current without a complete rebuild every time. And if you’ve got a flagship event that needs something entirely new, our talented team of exhibition stand designers can create a custom stand instead.

Set construction and backdrops

Exhibition stands aren’t the whole story at Pb. We build stages, sets and scenery for conferences, product launches and theatre productions, using the same workshop and crew as our exhibition stand work. If your set needs to travel or be used at a different venue, we plan that in from the first design, using materials and construction methods built to withstand repeated use.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about our services, timelines, and what to expect from your project.

    Exhibition stand design and build covers everything that turns a bare patch of floor into a space your audience wants to explore. That includes the concept, technical drawings, manufacture, graphics, AV, logistics, on-site installation and breakdown. We can handle the whole process, so you don’t have to manage multiple suppliers.

    The cost depends on floor space and structure, AV, graphics, furniture, transport and crew. Because we build everything ourselves, you're not paying a mark-up to a third-party fabricator on top. Tell us your space, your show and your budget, and we'll be honest about what fits.

    We've built everything from small, 3m shell schemes through to 200sqm custom stands. Small spaces receive the same level of design thinking as larger ones, because they often have to work harder to stand out in a busy conference hall.

    Absolutely. We design reusable structures, store them between shows and refresh the graphics and layouts when things change. Reuse keeps costs down and cuts the waste that comes with building something new for every show.

    Yes. Our team can travel to install and dismantle your stand. We transport materials either in our own vehicles or via a specialist delivery partner. Show rules, customs paperwork and set-up times are planned in from the start. We’ve delivered stands overseas within X weeks of receiving the initial brief.

    It depends on how often you exhibit and what you need the stand to do. Custom builds suit a single hero moment or a shape and finish you can't get from a modular frame. Modular systems cost less per show, because you build the frame once and change the graphics and layout to suit each event. Talk to us about your plans and we can help you to pick the right option.

    We do. It means that you have a consistent team that understands what you want to achieve and is committed to delivering the highest-quality stand.

    Yes, if you need that. It can take the pressure off your team, so they don’t have to worry about organising transportation and getting the stand looking right on the day. They can focus on their roles instead.

    We try to make our exhibition and trade stands as sustainable as we can, so you can reuse them time and again. It means less cost for you and less impact on the environment. We can store your stand between events if that’s helpful.

    To come back to - sustainable shoutout block - currently no design for this

    Wherever possible, we develop reusable systems for exhibition stands. It means they are designed to be adapted, updated and reused, ensuring they are as sustainable as possible. Find out more about our sustainability initiatives.
