Stand Central supplies the exhibition stand equipment exhibitors need for the show floor: exhibition walls, exhibition counters, exhibition banners, LED lightboxes, hanging banners and complete stand kits, all on reusable frames with full colour printed graphics, plus a sustainable range in recyclable printed cardboard. FREE artwork design or proofing on every order.
The exhibition industry has two kinds of business here.

Stand builders and experienced exhibition stand contractors specialise in designing and building exhibition stands: a bespoke exhibition stand built on site, usually for a large space-only plot, with design, exhibition stand construction and installation priced per project. An exhibition stand builder or exhibition stand contractor makes sense for a one-off showpiece, and the top exhibition stand builders and booth builders offer bespoke stand design and complete exhibition services, with each stand build designed around one event.
A supplier like Stand Central provides the portable display system and printed graphics instead, ready for your own team to put up. We don’t install exhibition stands; we are a display company that supplies high-quality exhibition stands for events in the UK and, with worldwide delivery available, across Europe and beyond.
For most exhibitors at a trade show, trade fair or expo in the UK, that is the whole stand: a back wall, a counter, a banner or two, lighting and strong graphics that present your products or services clearly.
Our booth solutions cover the main types of exhibition stand used at major UK exhibition venues, so you can build your exhibition stand from one order.
That help exhibitors showcase their products and enhance their brand.
Such as flags, A boards and gazebos for indoor and outdoor events, plus exhibition furniture to finish the space.
Start with roller banners (full size from £55.95 ex VAT) and a printed tablecloth.
A 3m fabric wall plus a counter, or a complete 3m x 3m stand kit (from £999.95 ex VAT) with wall, counter and banner included.
Choose modular exhibition stands you can reconfigure for different booth designs and stand sizes to maximise every space, and add stand accessories as you grow.
Backlit LED lightboxes (from £258.95 ex VAT) and hanging banners are visible from across the hall at busy venues such as the NEC or Excel London.
A one-off custom booth from an exhibition stand design and build company typically costs far more because it is designed, built and installed for a single event. Reusable stands spread the cost over every show you attend, and you only need to reprint the graphics when your brand or message changes.

Good exhibition stand design starts with graphics you can read from the aisle. Our fabric graphics are lightweight and pack into carry bags, which keeps transport and logistics simple, and the frames are made to be used again and again. For a stand with no aluminium or PVC, our sustainable exhibition stands are printed cardboard you reuse at event after event, then recycle. FREE UK delivery on orders of £200 or more.
If buying a stand doesn’t make sense for one show, our exhibition stand hire service gives you a complete modular stand for up to 7 days. We design and print your graphics, then deliver, build and take the stand down at any venue in England.

Every hire is quoted for your plot, venue and dates, and quotes are sent in writing by email.
Our sustainable exhibition stands are made from strong printed cardboard: walls, counters, banner stands, furniture and complete cardboard exhibition stand kits. Reuse them at event after event, then put them in standard cardboard recycling.
Stand Central is a UK supplier of trade show stand equipment for exhibitors who want a professional exhibition stand without paying for a one-off build. Our stand services include free artwork design or proofing, custom displays and trade rates for agencies. We sell the reusable display systems and printed graphics that make up a typical trade show stand, and we keep the range focused on products that are quick to set up, travel well and look sharp under hall lighting.
Every product is chosen for print quality, build quality and value, and we deliver across the UK. Every order includes free artwork design or proofing, so a real person checks your graphics before anything is printed. Printed and dispatched within 5 days with express options available.
