WELCOME TO REDBLU GRAPHICS & DISPLAYS

We are a modular exhibition stand builder offering design, planning and in-house production with 2 Hubs in Glasgow, Scotland and Hampshire, England.

Our Story

Redblu began in 2008, evolving from Macdou Transfers, a long-standing screen-printing business with a passion for great design. As the print world changed, so did we. We moved from traditional printing into the exciting world of exhibitions and trade shows, bringing creativity and colour to every project.

As of 2025, we are of course still a locally rooted company with a broad reach, dedicated to delivering high-impact visual solutions. We prioritise thoughtful design and a seamless experience in everything we create, combining personal service with professional results.

We specialise in designing and building eye-catching, sustainable exhibition stands that help brands stand out. Our modular systems T3 and Aluvision are smart, flexible, and built to last, giving clients the freedom to reuse and reconfigure their stands for different events.

From exhibition stands and signage to branded environments and promotional displays, we bring our clients’ ideas to life with precision and flair. Our agile, passionate team manages every stage of the process in-house, from 3D design visuals and custom graphics to full build and installation across the UK and Europe.

Sustainability is at the heart of our work. We use recyclable materials, energy-efficient lighting, and reusable structures to keep things green while still delivering amazing results. As proud ESSA members with Tier 5 Sustainability Accreditation, we’re committed to shaping a brighter, more responsible future for exhibitions.

Proud Members of ESSA

Being part of ESSA means we’re aligned with the best in the events and exhibition industry. It’s our way of showing clients that Redblu is committed to professionalism, safety, and sustainability at every level.

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 transportation 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.

I couldn’t be more delighted with the final outcome and my whole team were full of praise for the stand. I would highly recommend RedBlu for any event, big or small! Thank you David and team!

I have worked with David in the past as a client and would sincerely recommend him as a professional. Our project layout changed last minute and him and his team worked impressively well to transfer our thoughts from the paper to a real thing in one of the events we attended. Very responsive and responsible!

Caroline Silva, Medtronic

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.
