Plus Exhibition, one of the UK’s longest-established exhibition stand providers, is celebrating 44 years in business, marking more than four decades of helping British companies showcase their products and services at trade shows across the UK and internationally.
Founded in 1981 as a small family-run business, Plus Exhibition Stands has steadily grown to become a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes. Over the years, it has supported thousands of organisations – from start-ups and SMEs to well-known household brands – across sectors such as manufacturing, technology, retail, healthcare and professional services.
Exhibitions continue to be a crucial driver of business growth, offering valuable opportunities for in-person connections, new product launches and market expansion. Plus Exhibition has played a key role in this progress, helping companies meet the often complex logistical demands of exhibiting. By offering modular stand designs and comprehensive project management services, the company ensures that businesses can access professional, high-quality exhibition solutions with ease.
“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.
