Our process

One team. Seven stages. No handoffs.

From first brief to final crate - same team, same weekly cadence.

Before we start

What a good brief looks like.

The projects that run smoothly are always the ones with a real brief. Six things worth working out before we speak.

Objectives

What does a good show look like? Leads, meetings, launch coverage, buyer conversations - as measurable as you can make it.

Audience

Who specifically are you trying to reach? Named accounts, target sectors, seniority level.

Show details

Which show, which hall, which stand number, what size, what shape, what neighbours.

Budget

A real range, not a placeholder. We'll design to it - and tell you honestly what it will and won't stretch to.

Non-negotiables

Product must fit, meeting room must seat six, brand red must PMS-match. Say it up front.

Approvers

Who signs off design, budget, timeline. The fewer surprises here, the faster the project moves.

How It Works

A process built on 25 years of shows.

From first sketch to final teardown - one team, four clear phases, no handoffs.

Brief & Concept

Typical timeline

How long does a stand actually take?

Every project is different - but this is a realistic view of the calendar for a mid-size custom stand from a cold start.

1–2 wks

Brief to concept

1–2 wks

Concept to sign-off

4–8 wks

Sign-off to build

Show week

Build to install

For modular reuse builds, timelines compress significantly. For overseas shows or complex reveals, allow extra runway. We'll tell you honestly at first call whether your date is realistic - or whether we should be starting somewhere different.

We have worked with Staunton Rook since 1998. I can confidently recommend them for their exceptionally high levels of service, unending focus and attention to detail and their 24/7 attitude, with work turned around quickly and efficiently. Their technical knowledge and quality control is unsurpassed and combined with their pro-active attitude they are a real pleasure to deal with.

We've worked with Staunton Rook for over 10 years now. They have put in the time and effort to learn our technology and our applications so very little needs explaining. They just get on with it, spot things before we do and consistently deliver to a high standard. It's exactly what we want from a long-term marketing partner.

Stewart and his dedicated team have designed and built over 20 exhibition stands in the UK and across various locations in Europe for us. Every stand landed on time, on brand and on budget. That kind of reliability is rare.
