One of the UK’s most experienced exhibition stand providers, Plus Exhibition, is celebrating 44 years in business, reflecting more than four decades of service to British companies showcasing their products at trade shows at home and overseas.
Founded in 1981 as a family-operated company, Plus Exhibition Stands has grown steadily into a trusted partner for exhibitors of all sizes. It has worked with thousands of businesses, from young start-ups and expanding SMEs to established national names, across sectors such as manufacturing, technology, retail, healthcare and professional services.
Trade exhibitions remain a vital tool for business development, offering unique opportunities for face-to-face engagement, product launches and market outreach. Plus Exhibition has been instrumental in supporting companies to overcome the logistical challenges of exhibiting. Its modular stand designs and full-service project management continue to make exhibiting more accessible, professional and effective.
“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.
