Plus Exhibition, a leading UK exhibition stand provider, is celebrating 44 years in business – marking more than four decades of enabling British companies to thrive at trade shows across the UK and overseas.
Launched in 1981 as a small family-run venture, Plus Exhibition Stands has expanded over the years into a well-regarded national provider of exhibition stands and services. It has worked with thousands of businesses – from new start-ups and growing SMEs to household names – spanning diverse sectors including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, technology and professional services.
For decades, exhibitions have provided a critical platform for business growth by fostering direct engagement, product introductions and market expansion. Plus Exhibition has been a key contributor to this landscape, supporting clients in overcoming the logistical hurdles of exhibiting. Its modular stand designs and comprehensive project management have made professional, impactful exhibiting more straightforward and accessible for businesses nationwide.
“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.
