A bright and exciting date in the exhibition calendar, Spring Fair remains one of the largest and longest-running trade shows in the UK, having taken place consistently for over 75 years. Recognised as one of the retail industry’s top wholesale home, gift and fashion trade events, it’s widely considered the “shop for shops” and home to the latest products, trends and invaluable industry insights.
This year, we returned once again to support our long-standing Quadrant2Design clients as they showcased their brands to thousands of buyers. Each exhibitor came back with the same or slightly reconfigured exhibition stands that we originally designed and built for them using our Free Hire Pro Plan.
Although all of our clients operate within retail, they sell completely different products. That meant every stand needed to be uniquely designed to reflect individual brand identities and display products in ways that maximised visibility and engagement.
Not only are these stands custom-designed to suit each client’s brand and practical requirements, but they’re also sustainable and financially responsible. With significantly large stand spaces, purchasing a brand-new stand every year would be a costly and an unnecessary investment. By choosing Quadrant2Design as their exhibition stand contractor, each client benefits from a reusable, modular solution that looks exceptional year after year.
