Plus Exhibition, one of the UK’s longest-serving exhibition stand specialists, is celebrating its 44th anniversary, marking over four decades of helping British businesses present themselves at trade shows both nationally and internationally.
Established in 1981 as a small family-run venture, Plus Exhibition Stands has grown into a respected nationwide provider. Over the years, it has supported thousands of organisations – from ambitious start-ups and SMEs to well-known household brands – in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, technology, retail and professional services.
Exhibitions have always been a crucial platform for business growth, offering opportunities to launch products, expand into new markets and engage directly with customers. Plus Exhibition has played an integral role in enabling this success by simplifying the challenges of exhibiting. Through modular stand designs and comprehensive project management, it ensures clients can make a strong impact on the show floor.
“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.
