One of the UK’s most experienced exhibition stand specialists, Plus Exhibition, is celebrating its 44th year of supporting businesses to stand out at trade shows both domestically and overseas.
Established in 1981 as a small family business, Plus Exhibition Stands has grown into a nationwide provider of bespoke exhibition solutions. The company has helped thousands of businesses – from pioneering start-ups and growing SMEs to established national brands – across industries including manufacturing, technology, healthcare, retail and professional services.
Trade shows remain a vital channel for business development, providing opportunities for face-to-face networking, product demonstrations and market reach. Plus Exhibition has been instrumental in helping companies overcome the logistical challenges of exhibiting. Through innovative modular stand designs and end-to-end project management, the company delivers practical, impactful solutions that make exhibiting more accessible for businesses of all sizes.
“Exhibiting remains one of the most powerful ways for businesses to connect with customers and open new markets,” said Tom Bristow, Managing Director of Plus Exhibition. “Over the past four decades, we have seen how vital trade shows are to British enterprise, and we are proud to have played a part in helping so many companies succeed on the show floor.”
The company’s long-standing commitment to practical, adaptable stand solutions has earned it strong reviews from clients, many of whom return year after year. As the exhibition industry continues to develop, Plus Exhibition has embraced new formats like hybrid events while maintaining its reputation for affordability, reliability and creative design.
This anniversary also highlights the resilience of the UK’s exhibition sector. Over the years, it has faced recessions, rapid technological shifts, and the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, yet it continues to thrive as a vital platform for commerce.
Exhibitions contribute an estimated £10 billion annually to the UK economy, and remain a powerful driver of growth. Companies like Plus Exhibition continue to play a vital role in sustaining and strengthening that contribution.
