WELCOME TO REDBLU GRAPHICS & DISPLAYS

We are a graphic solutions provider offering design, planning and in-house production with 2 Hubs in Glasgow and near London.

The Redblu journey began in 2008 when the company evolved from Macdou Transfers, a long-standing screen print transfer business. It was in response to the fast-changing print industry and the decline of traditional screen printing. Our focus from the outset was to provide creative print and display products, mainly for the exhibition and trade show market. We’ve come a long way since then and now offer solutions for interiors, retail and signage too, amongst others. This is all underpinned by a long-standing, dedicated team who have been at it long enough to know almost every trick in the book!

Our main production facility in the south of Glasgow houses our sales and design departments, print studio and warehouse space for storage, fabrication and pre-builds for our projects. We also have a smaller depot near London where we deliver our stands from the South coast to Birmingham. We’d love to show you round if you want to arrange to come in for a chat, just get in touch!

THE REDBLU PROCESS

When you come to us for a solution, you can be safe in the knowledge that your project will be handled by a small team who will oversee every element. You will see the same faces and hear the same voices from beginning to end. Our process is very inclusive so you never feel out of the loop, and tends to go a bit like this:

BRIEF & ESTIMATE

We will meet on video or person, call, email and message until we have enough information to fully understand your requirement. From there we can recommend the best solutions for your budget and estimate for all elements.

DESIGN & CREATIVE

Now we’re into the nuts and bolts of the project, we will create all the necessary drawings, mockups and creative content required to satisfy your brief and get constant feedback from you along the way.

Production

PRODUCTION

Now we get our hands dirty. Printing, chopping, cutting, laminating, sticking, locking, testing, wiring, checking. We do most things in our factory, and work with a trusted set of additional suppliers when required.

Installation

DELIVERY & INSTALL

After our thorough quality checks and pre-builds, we pack everything up for shipping or transportion for installation on site. Then we make a cuppa and start on the next one!

OUR COMMITMENT

You should always be 100% satisfied that we’ve done our best work for you. We think we’re pretty good, but only as good as our last job, so we always hold ourselves to the highest standard possible.

Our numerous repeat customers and agency partnerships are testament to the effort we put in and the customer service that goes along with every job. We want you to think of us as a trusted extension of your company and will always be on hand with advice and solutions when you need them.

Rob Nelson
Rob NelsonDesign & Creative
Rob is a maestro of exhibition stands and a wizard of graphic design, with a career that’s been on a steady rise for 15 years—akin to the half-painted walls of his home. He’s a dad who’s as adept at crafting a punchy tagline as he is at dodging flying toys.

His home renovation saga is as layered as his Photoshop files, and he’s convinced that a dash of humour is the best tool in his belt—second only to the actual screwdriver. With Rob, expect a portfolio that pops and dad jokes that stick… just like the paint on his ceiling.

Get in touch with Rob to explore what creative solutions will work for your needs.

Kieran McGinnes
Kieran McGinnesStand Builder & Technical Design
Kieran has been with Redblu since the start of February 2024. His main role within the company is Stand Builder/Project Coordinator for our exhibition stand projects through design, installation, and dismantle to ensure high quality stands at every show. While this is his main role he also assists in technical design when needed. Kieran brings a background of Architecture Design & 3D Modelling.

In his free time, he like to train with his local boxing club, gym, run marathons, and take part in triathlons and hikes. When he’s not taking part in destroying his body with fitness, he likes to watch films, play video games, and solo travelling to different countries.

Grant Miller
Grant MillerDesign & Print Technician
Grant Miller is a whirlwind of creativity and dedication. With a background in print, POS (Point of Sale), animation, and illustration, he’s the Swiss Army knife of design. His quirky personality infuses every project with a dash of fun! When he’s not meticulously fine-tuning layouts, you’ll find him belting out tunes along with the radio—because life is better with a soundtrack. And don’t be surprised if he drops a random fact about the history or the Fibonacci sequence during coffee breaks.

Reach out to Grant for graphic and print enquiries.

Nat Peacock
Nat PeacockDigital Media & Production Coordinator
Nat, our “Kiwi-in-residence”, joined us in February 2024. Bringing his digital media experience, Nat works on creating engaging content that tells the RedBlu story across a blend of platforms. Additionally, he can be found rolling up his sleeves and building exhibition stands and working in the print room. He enjoys the mixture of digital and physical work and contributes high quality work in both spaces.

When not at work, Nat enjoys exploring the outdoors of his new homeland either on his bike or on-foot. He is quietly confident he holds the unofficial record for the best focaccia bread out of the Southern Hemisphere.

Contact Nat for any questions regarding either social or web media.

I’m so glad to have found RedBlu graphics for my event in Glasgow, Britspine 2023.

James Halsey-Watson, Sky

Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort you put into our exhibition stand at the SEC! I know I’m biased, but we definitely had the best stand at the show. You were really flexible and responsive to our needs, and gave us some really good ideas for how we could make our stand better within our budget.

We were very happy with our stand at Facilities Show 2023, 16 – 18 May 2023.

The Redblu team did a fantastic job to provide us with a great platform to welcome new and existing customers to our stand.

Cathie Pringle, Idox Software Ltd

The stand looks incredible. We’ve had a lot of positive comments from staff working on the stand and attendees visiting us. Great communication from the team at redblu and would definitely recommend them to any other companies looking for exhibition stand design and build services. Thank you.

David and his team seamlessly delivered another stand for us in London at the Recruitment Agency Expo. They take all the exhibiting hassles away, allowing us to simply turn up to our completed stand as per the visuals supplied which is delivered promptly and looks excellent – not to mention fantastic customer service with any questions or concerns answered quickly and efficiently. RedBlu are our first choice for stand build to ensure quality and efficiency at a competitive price – we’ve already booked for another show in Manchester and thoroughly enjoy working with them.

Rory Groves, Force 24
