Bringing history to life is all about finding the right balance between authenticity and practicality.

For our recent project at Lancashire County Council Museums' Judges' Lodgings in Lancaster, we were asked to produce printed fabric panels that recreated the look of aged washing hanging in the washhouse, while still allowing visitors to easily read the information displayed.

Our solution was to produce digitally printed, double-sided polyester panels with hemmed edges, giving them a natural drape that closely resembles real fabric. This not only helped create an authentic historical setting but also ensured the educational content remained clear and accessible from both sides.

The finished installation tells the story of the people who worked in the washhouse and includes an interactive game, encouraging younger visitors to discover what life was like through hands-on learning.

We're proud to have helped create an engaging exhibit that combines thoughtful design, quality print production and visitor interaction.

Two stands, one story. 🤝

Last year we built a smaller stand for Amplience at Shoptalk Europe, Barcelona. This year they came back to us to go bigger - and brought a friend.

Amplience introduced us to Mapp Fashion, who also needed a contractor for the show. Rather than build two separate, disconnected spaces, we saw an opportunity: design both stands together so they'd flow into one another and tell a single, connected story.

Amplience's AI-enhanced headless CMS and DAM powers the content. Mapp Fashion's product intelligence decodes the "why" behind the buy. Two different tools, one shared mission; helping retailers understand and serve their customers better. We designed the layout, branding and shared connecting space so visitors could physically walk the journey between the two and see exactly how their services complement each other.

It's exactly the kind of project we love, not just building a stand, but building the story that connects exhibitors and makes both businesses stronger on the show floor. A real pleasure working with Amplience again, and to support their partner Mapp Fashion for the first time.

One of our recent projects was upgrading the reception desk at LQK Euro Car Parts' T2 site in Tamworth.

The existing desk was transformed using white 18mm melamine panels bonded to the front, with the lower section finished in printed vinyl wrap to tie in with the client's branding.

To complete the installation, we applied precision-cut acrylic lettering to the desk face, creating a clean, professional finish that makes the reception area instantly recognisable for visitors. Acrylic lettering is a simple yet effective signage solution, offering a durable, high-impact way to reinforce branding without overwhelming the space.

A smart reception area helps create a positive first impression, and this refurbishment delivered a fresh, modern look while keeping branding clear and consistent throughout the site.

After months of close collaboration, we were delighted to deliver a striking exhibition stand for Hunter Healthcare, reinforcing its position as a leading international executive search and healthcare consultancy specialising exclusively in the healthcare, public health, and life sciences sectors.

Founded in the UK in 2011, Hunter Healthcare operates across key global markets, including the UK, Europe, and the US, supporting organisations as they navigate workforce challenges and technological transformation.

Our award-winning team provided a complete turnkey solution, managing every stage of the project from initial concept development, stand design, and creative artwork production within our in-house studio, through to the fabrication of bespoke elements in our workshop.

The finished stand featured a semi-private meeting area, a bespoke wood-clad reception desk, and an enhanced furniture package, all carefully designed and installed to create a premium environment that reflected the professionalism, expertise, and global reputation of the Hunter Healthcare brand.

This project is a great example of how strategic design, craftsmanship, and attention to detail can transform a vision into an impactful exhibition presence.

A huge thank you to the Hunter Healthcare team for their trust and collaboration throughout the process. We are proud to have helped bring their brand to life and look forward to supporting their future event ambitions.

We recently completed a full signage installation for TPS at their brand-new Kendal office, helping to create a clean, professional look both inside and out.

The external signage makes an immediate impact, with a Dibond tray sign above the entrance and clear, easy-to-navigate car parking signs. Inside, we carried the branding through with bespoke window graphics and digitally printed Foamex panels, seamlessly bonded to the reception desk to create a strong focal point.

The project also included a Dibond goods-inwards tray, ensuring functionality matches the overall finish across the site.

A great example of how consistent signage can enhance both the customer experience and day-to-day operations.
