Plus Exhibition, one of the UK’s most established exhibition stand providers, is celebrating 44 years of success, marking over four decades of helping British businesses present themselves at trade shows across the country and overseas.
Founded in 1981 as a family-run company, Plus Exhibition Stands has grown into a leading national supplier, trusted by thousands of organisations. Its portfolio includes innovative start-ups, fast-growing SMEs and prominent household brands across sectors such as manufacturing, retail, healthcare, technology and professional services.
Exhibitions have long been a cornerstone of business development, offering valuable opportunities for face-to-face engagement, new product showcases and entry into wider markets. Plus Exhibition has played an important role in supporting companies to overcome the logistical demands of exhibiting. By providing modular exhibition stand designs and end-to-end project management services, it continues to help businesses access high-quality, professional exhibition opportunities that drive growth.
“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.
