David Stewart

David Stewart is Managing Director of Redblu Graphics & Displays and has worked in the UK exhibition and display industry for 26 years.

He has overseen more than 500 stand builds across every major UK venue — the SEC, EICC and P&J Live in Scotland, the NEC, ExCeL, Olympia, Manchester Central, LEC Liverpool and many more — for clients ranging from AWS and Medtronic to Lidl and Zoho.

David led Redblu to ESSA Tier 5 accreditation, the highest sustainability rating available to UK exhibition suppliers and held by only a handful of companies. His focus is custom modular construction: stands designed specifically for the client but built on reusable Aluvision and T3 system framework, so the structure is reconfigured for the next show rather than skipped after one. No waste.

He writes Exhibitions Uncovered, a newsletter on exhibiting in the UK, and shares practical guidance with 8,000 followers on LinkedIn.
