Plus Exhibition, one of the UK’s longest-standing exhibition stand providers, has reached its 44th anniversary, celebrating more than four decades of supporting UK companies on the trade show floor both nationally and internationally.
Founded in 1981 as a small family enterprise, Plus Exhibition Stands has grown into a highly regarded national partner for thousands of businesses – from fresh start-ups and SMEs to prominent brands – working across sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, retail, professional services and technology.
For over forty years, exhibitions have provided businesses with vital opportunities to connect face-to-face, unveil new products and grow into new markets. Plus Exhibition has been pivotal in helping clients navigate the logistical hurdles involved in exhibiting. With modular stand solutions and end-to-end project management, it continues to help businesses make a professional impact at every show.
“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.
