Custom Build Stands

When a standard system won't do, we build it from scratch. Bespoke joinery, curved walls, double-deck structures, integrated tech — designed by us, built by our own crew, pre-assembled in our workshop before it ever reaches the hall.

5 min from ExCeL All print & signage in-house Weekend & last-minute support

One-off builds, made to stop people.

A custom build is where your brand gets to show off — sculpted forms, feature lighting, integrated tech and finishes you can't get from a system stand.

Our joiners, printers and fabricators work under one roof, so the concept you approve is the stand you get, without compromises from outsourcing.

What's included.

  • Bespoke joinery and fabrication
  • Double-deck and mezzanine structures
  • Curved, sculptural and feature elements
  • Integrated screens, LED and interactive tech
  • Engineered and structurally signed off
  • Storage and reuse for future shows

Quick questions.

Is custom more expensive?+

Usually upfront, but a reusable design can lower cost per show over a season.

Do we see it before the show?+

Yes — we pre-build in our workshop and invite you for a walkthrough.

How fast can you turn things around?+

Concepts usually land within 48 hours. Because print and making are in-house, we can move faster than most when deadlines are tight.
