The Rare & Pasture | Tempus Foods team recently joined us in pre-build ahead of the Speciality and Fine Food Fair, to view their artisan food exhibition stand! The founder of Tempus Foods, and MasterChef winner of 2010, Dhruv Baker shared his insights on the exhibition stand design and experiencing the stand ahead of the show in pre-build. He covers topics such as the design process, seeing the stand before the show, planning the stand reconfigurations for the year, and the quality of the exhibition stand!

Speciality & Fine Food Fair
The Speciality & Fine Food Fair is the leading artisanal food and drink show in the UK.

High-Quality Stands for High-Quality Brands
We supply some of the finest restaurants and food service outlets in the world; Fortnum's, Harrods, and Selfridges, and our stand should reflect that.
At an exhibition, the way you present your brand reflects its worth, in the same way, your packing and website do. As a luxury, artisan food brand, you’ve got to have a high-quality exhibition stand!
This stand design screamed luxury, with a smoky base colour and backlit detailing.

For the first time, we're confident that our footprint there will be one in keeping with our product.
First Impressions on The Stand
First impression of the stand was exactly what we'd hoped for. It was bright, bold, clean, crisp, sharp. It did exactly what we hoped, it's got big impact, It's not very fussy. The brief was followed perfectly.
Seeing The Stand Before The Show
The pre-build experience is unique to Quadrant2Design. Often, the first time clients see their exhibition stand is at the trade show, with Qaudrant2Design, we will never take this risk. Every stand is built in full before every show. This is the perfect opportunity for us and our clients to quality-check the stand and make sure everything is flawless.
To see the stand is hugely beneficial to me as a customer, because otherwise I'm turning up on the day, and I've only gone by proofs and images.
Future Shows
One of the great benefits of Quadrant2Design stands is that they are modular, meaning they can be reconfigured into various shapes and sizes to suit any stand space or vision.
If you come to us knowing you have multiple exhibitions to attend, we can design your stand to suit many future configurations. Sometimes we do this by starting with the largest stand, so all the panels for smaller configurations are available.
The Rare & Pasture | Tempus team also shared that with Quadrant2Design, they are able to attend many more exhibitions. This is because, with the Free-Hire Plan, clients can expect up to 60% savings on future installations after investing in their initial graphic panels. This full-service includes Lifetime Free Design, Project Management, Marketing assistance, Pre-Build, Logistics Handling and Installation & dismantling.
Sustainability
Like many of our clients, sustainability is very important to Rare & Pasture | Tempus. Every part of our exhibition stand solution is reusable so it really is the most sustainable exhibiting solution on the market.
Sustainability is a huge part of what we do, and having to throw something away and buy new raw material each time doesn't sit with that. With the stand, we know we can reuse it, and actually we know that we can leave it to the experts.
Closing Thoughts
It has been an absolute pleasure having Dhruv Baker and the Rare & Pasture | Tempus team in pre-build. With an artisan and specialist food exhibition stand it is crucial to communicate your differentiators quickly and effectively, and this exhibition stand does just that!
