French Connections HCB started 2024 off strong with their first of three A Place in the Sun Live exhibitions this year.
French Connections HCB is a fantastic network of financial and administrative relocation experts who provide key services and the most reliable relocation expertise and customer care to those looking to relocate to France.
A Place in the Sun Live is the official live event of the hit Channel 4 TV show and the UK’s largest overseas property exhibition series, designed to help visitors find their dream overseas property.
There are multiple A Place in the Sun Live events, across the UK, and French Connections HCB is set to attend three of them, starting with A Place in the Sun Live Manchester.
The Lead Time
When the French Connections HCB team approached Quadrant2Design to create their exhibition stand, they did not have much time to waste, as is sometimes the case in the exhibition industry!
There were just four weeks between the project’s handover to our Project Managers and the stand installation in Manchester. Fortunately, through our 20+ years of experience and in-house services, Quadrant2Design has become proficient at working to even the shortest lead times.
French Connections HCB design proposal
As an in-house, full-solutions provider, Quadrant2Design is able to work quickly and efficiently to design and produce high-quality exhibition stands.
We created French Connections HCB’s bespoke design renders in no time at all. Like all of our design proposals, this was free, with no obligation to choose us for the project.
This also included the full 3D render animation you see below –
A Place in The Sun Manchester 2024
After some collaboration, the final design was signed off, manufactured and ultimately installed at A Place in the Sun Manchester.
Here’s a video walkthrough of the stand after the installation was complete.
Design Features
Although the stand was designed on a shorter lead time, Quadrant2Design never sacrifices quality.
This stand was feature-rich with high-level branding, an integrated TV screen, fret-cut backlit features, curtained storage, an abundance of integrated and illuminated literature display showcases, eye-catching overhead fascia boards and multiple branded counters with integrated tablet brackets.
Additionally, this stand showcased multiple brands; FAB Insurance, French Plans and Burke Bros! Read our exhibition advice article for more information on designing for multiple brands on one stand!
A Word from French Connections HCB
The French Connections HCB team were very pleased with their stand and, by all accounts, had a great time at A Place in The Sun Live, leaving Quadrant2Design this brilliant review:
We’re all signed off and it looks absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much to you and the entire team involved for making this happen. I know we pushed it with the timings but everyone has done a superb job. Alan was great with the handover too.
Following the show French Connections HCB shared some more insights on their experience.
"The team have been fantastic, Laura, Claire and Kristine have all been super-supportive and responsive. The stand for the first show was also absolutely brilliant. I've thanked everyone for their excellent support on what ended up being a very tight turn-around.
So overall I am really VERY happy with the quality and finish of the stand, as well as the installation team who were great, and the professionalism and service levels of the excellent team who have helped us so far, Laura and Kristine in particular have been fantastic.
Looking forward to the next show already and seeing the stand in a different format!"
Future Shows
Exhibiting at multiple events becomes much easier with a modular, reusable and reconfigurable exhibition stand from Quadrant2Design.
Because our stands are made from such high-quality, durable materials they can be reused time and time again at every exhibition you attend for years!
All of our stands are modular and reconfigurable, which means that not only can they be reused, but also reconfigured to fit stand spaces of any size, shape or layout.
Stand features can be added or removed and the eye-catching stand graphics can be updated as required, based on changing marketing messages. This is a truly adaptable and reusable exhibition stand system!
Summing Up
We are so pleased that French Connections HCB had a great start to their exhibition calendar and we are looking forward to working with them on their future events!
