REDBLU CUSTOMERS
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Footfall alone doesn’t define success. Before the show, we help you clarify your objectives — whether that’s qualified leads, pre-booked meetings or brand positioning. Clear goals make it easier to measure commercial impact and understand the real return from your exhibition investment.
Yes. We handle technical drawings, risk assessments, structural requirements (if needed) and organiser approvals. Planning early allows everything to be submitted calmly and professionally, removing the risk of last-minute complications
Budgets vary depending on size, height and complexity. Larger space-only builds typically start from £8,000 + VAT and scale based on finishes and integrated features. We provide clear, structured pricing early in the process so you can secure internal approval with confidence.
Exhibition ROI should extend beyond a single event. We design stands that can be reused, resized or refreshed for future shows. This protects your investment, reduces future costs and ensures your exhibition strategy supports long-term growth rather than one-off impact.
Standing out is about clarity and confidence, not clutter. Strong headline messaging, smart lighting, open layouts and clear visitor flow all make a difference. With more time to plan, we can design a space that attracts attention for the right reasons while remaining professional and commercially focused.
All of our stands are modular, but they vary in scale and level of customisation. Larger, more bespoke modular builds allow greater design freedom and a stronger architectural presence. More streamlined layouts offer a cost-efficient solution that still delivers strong branding and impact.
The right choice depends on your objectives, stand size and how you plan to use the stand in future. We’ll help you shape a solution that fits your goals and maximises long-term value.
With 6–9 months to prepare, you have time to be strategic. Instead of just “turning up” at the show, you can use it to clearly position your brand, launch something new, or strengthen how the market sees you.
Planning early means your stand can be designed around your goals — attracting the right visitors, supporting better conversations and helping you stand out for the right reasons. Done properly, your exhibition becomes a powerful marketing tool, not just a space on the floor.
Footfall alone doesn’t determine success. What matters is quality engagement.
We encourage clients to track:
- Number of qualified leads
- Pre-booked meeting attendance
- Engagement time on stand
- Post-show pipeline value
- Conversion rates over 3–6 months
A well-designed stand supports these metrics by encouraging meaningful conversations, not just passing traffic.
We have done a few blog posts that discuss the best ways to track all of this – Read Here
Yes, completely.
We manage:
- Stand plan submissions
- Structural calculations (where required)
- RAMS and CDM documentation
- Approval to build
- Coordination with venue technical teams
With almost 20 years experience across major UK venues, we understand site regulations and deadlines like the back of our hand. Ensuring your stand is fully compliant and stress-free long before the build begins.
Yes. and we actively design with reuse in mind.
Our modular systems allow stands to be:
- Reconfigured for different spaces
- Updated with new graphics
- Expanded or reduced depending on future shows
- Adapted for roadshows or smaller events or bigger events
This improves long-term ROI and aligns with sustainable exhibition practices, reducing waste and repeat build costs.
Ideally, planning should begin 6–9 months before the event – especially for space-only or bespoke builds.
Starting early gives you time to:
- Define clear objectives and ROI targets
- Explore creative concepts without compromise
- Secure internal approvals and budget sign-off
- Submit plans and technical documents to the venue
- Avoid late design changes or production premiums
With 5–6 months remaining, you’re in a strong position to create something considered, impactful and commercially focused. Rather than rushing decisions under pressure.
The earlier the planning starts, the more control you have over cost, creativity and outcome. The more time we have to create the best exhibition stand possible for you.
For a high-impact space-only stand, budgets typically start from £8,000 + VAT and scale depending on size, height, features and finishes.
Beyond the build itself, you should also factor in:
- Venue logistics and installation costs
- Flooring and lighting upgrades
- AV or digital elements
- Show organiser service charges
- (There may be other factors, bear this in mind)
We provide transparent cost breakdowns early in the process so you can plan accurately, secure internal approval and avoid unexpected additions later.
Standing out isn’t about spending more – it’s about designing smarter.
We consider:
- Strategic height (where regulations allow)
- Lighting that draws attention across the hall
- Bold but clear messaging
- Clean sightlines from key walkways
- Confident use of structure and space
With 5–6 months to plan, you have the opportunity to create presence, not just occupy space. We help you design a stand that attracts attention for the right reasons. Professional, confident and aligned to your brand. Always.
Maximising ROI starts with clarity. Before we design anything, we help you define what success looks like – brand awareness, lead volume, booked meetings, product launches or pipeline generation.
From there, we design around outcomes:
- Clear messaging visible within 3 seconds
- Defined visitor flow to encourage dwell time
- Purpose-built meeting areas for meaningful conversations
- Integrated lead capture points
- Features that stop traffic and spark engagement
The goal isn’t just to “look good” – it’s to create a space that works hard commercially and delivers measurable results long after the show finishes.
That’s no problem. We can work with existing graphics, furniture or accessories and build around them. If anything needs adjusting to fit the shell scheme or venue rules, we’ll advise and handle it.
Yes. A well-designed shell scheme stand can look clean, bold and highly professional. Strong graphics and good layout matter more than size. Our focus is making sure your stand represents your brand properly – even on a smaller footprint or tighter budget.
No. Our team installs and dismantles the stand for you. Most clients simply turn up on show day to a ready-built stand, branded and set up, with no on-site stress.
Some costs depend on the venue. For example, logistics, installation and dismantle at ExCeL London are typically around £2,000 + VAT. We always outline these clearly upfront so you know exactly what to budget for before committing.
With our shell scheme solutions, you get a professionally branded stand built onto the organiser’s shell. This typically includes:
- Custom-printed graphics tailored to your space
- Frame hire up to 2.36m high (£200 + VAT per linear metre)
- Full installation and dismantle by our team
- Logistics management based on your venue
You don’t need to coordinate anything – we take care of it all.
Yes, absolutely. Many of our clients are first-time exhibitors. We explain what’s needed at each stage, advise on what’s included in your selected stand design, and make sure nothing is missed. You’ll have a clear point of contact and straightforward guidance throughout.
Very quickly. Our fixed-price and shell scheme solutions are designed specifically for short lead times. Once we have your brief and artwork details, we handle planning, production, logistics, installation and dismantle. Meaning you can arrive at the venue knowing your stand is already built and ready-to-go.
We’re a UK-based exhibition stand specialist with a hands-on approach from start to finish. From fixed-price modular solutions to bespoke space-only builds, everything is designed, built, installed and dismantled by our in-house team — so nothing gets lost in translation.
Costs vary depending on stand size, type and specification. Our fixed-price modular stands start from £3,000 + VAT, while shell scheme and space-only solutions are priced based on your brief. We’re always upfront on costs, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Absolutely. Modern modular systems allow for striking designs, clean finishes and strong branding — without the cost or waste of one-off builds. Our modular stands are designed to stand out on busy show floors while remaining flexible and reusable.
We’re a full ESSA member and have delivered exhibition stands for brands across multiple UK shows and venues. You’ll also see examples of recent builds and client feedback on this page.
Very flexible. If you already have furniture, AV, activations or branded assets, we’ll design around them. We can provide as much — or as little — support as you need, integrating seamlessly with other suppliers where required.
A well-designed stand increases footfall, improves brand perception and creates better quality conversations. While ROI differs by event and objective, exhibitors who invest in clear messaging, engaging layouts and professional delivery consistently see stronger results.
Our Readybooth hire service offers 3 ranges.
- Readybooth Shellstand – Starting from £3,000 + vat
- Readybooth Pre-Designed ‘Package’ Space Only Stands – Starting from £3,000 + vat

We have a variety of package stands to choose from, get in touch so we can take you through the options.
Selecting the ideal exhibition stand is just as crucial as choosing the right event. Exhibition stands generally fall into four categories:
- Custom-built stands: These are bold, unique designs constructed onsite. While they make a strong impression, they are often single-use and not as sustainable as modular stands.
- Modular exhibition stands: These stands are versatile, reusable, and sustainable. They offer the custom-built look with the added benefit of adaptability for different events.
- Shell scheme stands: These are basic structures provided by event organizers. With the addition of seamless graphic kits, they can be transformed into polished, engaging displays.
- Package stands (NEW): A stress-free solution that combines design, build, graphics, and installation into one cost-effective package. Perfect for exhibitors who want a professional stand without the complexity of managing multiple suppliers.
The best choice for you will depend on your budget, available space, and event goals. We’re here to help you find the perfect solution with ease.
We recommend starting discussions for custom exhibition stands at least 3 months in advance of your event. This allows ample time for initial concepts, revisions, approvals, and logistics planning. To ensure smooth delivery and production, all final designs and orders should be signed off no later than 4–5 weeks before the show.
If you’re working to a tighter deadline, don’t worry – we’ve got options. For last-minute projects (typically within 4 weeks of the show), we can offer a range of pre-designed modular stands or our new package stands. These solutions are cost-effective, quick to install, and still deliver a professional, branded finish. With plenty of stock available in both of our depots north and south, our package stands could be the perfect answer to your upcoming event.
Getting in early not only ensures the best possible design but also helps with budgeting and logistics – particularly for complex builds, package stand solutions, or overseas shows.
Yes! you can choose from a selection of pre-designed package stands or customise to your exact specification using our Readybooth Custom service.
Looking to add interactive elements or activations? whether it’s touchscreens, live product demos, competitions. or creative ways to showcase your brand’s story, our team at Redblu can help bring your ideas to life. We’re here to make sure your stand doesn’t just look great – it becomes a memorable experience that attracts, engages and keeps visitors coming to your stand.
Our amazing team will handle the complete process – we load into our vans or ship to the location, install and dismantle after the show end. Simple as that!
We also coordinate closely with the event organisers and venue to ensure we meet all access times, health and safety requirements, and any on-site regulations – giving you peace of mind as the exhibitor.
Whether it’s a small space-only stand or a large custom build with lighting, graphics and advanced structures our team handles it efficiently and professionally so you can focus on making most of the show.
Very simple. We offer a free consultation to discuss your initial requirements and create a brief. We then either choose from a pre-designed stand or customise the design to your exact requirements. Once confirmed we take care of the production, delivery, logistics, installation and dismantle.
We offer custom-designed exhibition stands for rent or purchase, tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Our expertise is based upon re-useable modular exhibition stands for hire in the UK. the exact systems we use are called Aluvision and T3.
Aluvision is a sleek, high-quality modular framework system that combines durability with a clean, modern look. It’s perfect for large format fabric graphics, integrated lighting, and LED tiles. Aluvision is great for creating seamless walls, eye-catching features, and polished finishes
T3 is a lightweight highly versatile system that allows us to build creative structures quickly and efficiently. It’s known for its patented twist-and-lock technology – meaning no tools are required during installation. T3 is ideal for pre-designed rental packages, smaller custom builds, or clients who need flexibility for different stand sizes across multiple events.
Not sure which system is best for you? We’ll recommend the right one based on your stand size, creative needs, and event schedule.
Shell schemes are pre made exhibition booths that come with a carpet and some blank 2.5m high walls. Mainly have a carpet and a 500W socket included. There are normally some lights and fascia with ceiling grid. Space only is what is just that, a space.
Not sure which option suits your brand or budget? the Redblu team is happy to help you choose the right fit and make the most of your space.
