Plus Exhibition, one of the UK’s most established providers of exhibition stands, is celebrating its 44th year of delivering high-quality services that help UK companies stand out at trade shows across the country and around the world.
Launched in 1981 as a family-run business, Plus Exhibition Stands has grown into a leading national provider. Over the decades, it has helped thousands of businesses – from innovative start-ups and growing SMEs to household names – across key sectors such as retail, manufacturing, technology, healthcare and professional services.
Exhibitions remain central to business growth, offering unparalleled opportunities for personal connections, product demonstrations and new market access. Plus Exhibition has supported this growth journey by removing the complexity of exhibiting. By offering modular stand designs and complete project management, it has made professional, impactful exhibitions easier 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.
