Industry
Automotive
Product-first, brand-forward, launch-ready.
Exhibition stands for OEMs, tier-one suppliers, aftermarket brands and automotive technology - passenger, commercial and off-highway. Turntables, reveals, retail-quality product walls and press-ready launch moments.
Automotive shows live and die on product. Our stands frame the vehicle or component as hero and get out of the way - while giving your commercial team the space to actually sell.
Automotive exhibitions are two shows in one. On the trade side, buyers and channel partners want product detail, price and volume. On the launch side, press and public want a hero vehicle, a reveal moment, and image-perfect backdrops for their coverage. Great automotive stands do both without one compromising the other.
We design for both audiences from concept - retail-quality product walls and volume-buyer conversation space on one side, press-ready reveal staging with rigged lighting and clean photographic backdrops on the other. Floor loading, turntable engineering and rigging capacity are planned in for even the heaviest vehicles.
For aftermarket brands, the stand becomes a trade counter - product walls, category signage, sample stock, and clear lines-of-sight for volume buyers browsing thousands of SKUs.

FAQs
Frequently asked.
Sector-specific questions exhibitors ask us - from compliance and live demos to lead times, costs and reuse across shows.
Can you rig a full vehicle reveal?
Yes - turntable engineering, lighting design, AV playback and rigging are all in-house or trusted-partner delivered.
How do you handle press day?
We plan press-day staging into the design - clean photographic sight lines, rigged AV, and space for embargoed media briefings.
How much does an exhibition stand cost for this sector?
Sector-specific stand costs vary with floor area, complexity and show location, but most UK sector stands range from £10,000 for a compact modular build to £150,000+ for a large bespoke presence. We quote fixed costs against your brief before any design work begins.
How far ahead should we plan a sector-specific exhibition stand?
We recommend 4–6 months for a custom build and 8–12 weeks for modular or reconfigured stands. Earlier planning secures better freight rates, avoids rush fees and lets us tailor compliance, demos and hospitality to your sector's expectations.
Do you understand the compliance requirements for regulated sectors?
Yes - we design for ABPI, EFPIA, healthcare, nuclear, utilities and financial services conventions every day. Compliance, security clearance, accreditation display and EHO requirements are designed in from the first concept review.
Can you handle live demonstrations, vehicles or machinery on-stand?
Yes. We plan floor-loading, power, water, dust extraction, guarding, rigging and safe-working procedures at CAD stage. Live demos, vehicle reveals and machinery operation are routine across engineering, automotive, energy and manufacturing shows.
Do you deliver stands for international shows in this sector?
Yes. We regularly deliver into Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, the UAE and the US. Local hall rules, customs, freight and on-site contractors are coordinated end to end for every sector we serve.
Can the stand be reused across multiple sector shows?
Yes - modularity is the default. Reconfigurable frameworks, swappable graphics and palletised storage mean your stand adapts from a 36m² regional show to a 72m² flagship without a full rebuild, reducing cost-per-show after your second event.
