Why Sovereign Exhibitions
Based in North Warwickshire, 10 minutes from the NEC. Design, manufacture, graphics, installation and dismantle handled by one company.
The facts
Everything below is plainly stated rather than implied, because when you are choosing a contractor the specifics are what matter.
- 10 minutes from the NEC
- Based in North Warwickshire, close to the NEC, NAEC Stoneleigh and the Coventry Building Society Arena - the three venues that carry most Midlands exhibition traffic.
- One contractor, whole programme
- Design, technical drawings, manufacture, graphics and print, transport, installation, on-site cover and dismantle. No handovers between separate companies for responsibility to fall through.
- UK and international
- A client list spanning the UK and globally, including back-to-back roadshows across Europe and beyond.
- Privately owned
- Independent, with the managing director involved in the work rather than a layer removed from it.
What we deliver besides exhibition stands
The same workshop and project management cover work that never sees an exhibition hall.
- Corporate events and conferences
- Staging, sets and branded environments.
- Museum and visitor attraction installations
- Permanent and touring installations built for years of public contact.
- Product launches
- One-off environments built to a fixed, immovable date.
- Commercial interiors and showrooms
- Retail and commercial fit out, often phased around a trading business.
- Television and film sets
- Built to broadcast tolerances and schedules.
- Graphics and large format print
- Produced alongside the build rather than sub-contracted separately.
Brands we have built for
Our client list is diverse and spans multiple sectors, both in the UK and globally. Brands we have designed and built exhibition stands for include Estee Lauder, Royal Canin, Ravensburger, Liebherr, Canon, Peugeot, Mistral and Grunwerg.
We work for brands directly and for the agencies and organisers who represent them - and we are equally used to a first-time exhibitor taking a small space as to a large trade event.
How we work
The shape of a project, whatever its size.
- Brief and space What the stand has to achieve, the space booked, the show regulations that apply and the budget.
- Design and 3D visuals You see the stand before committing. Changes happen here, where they cost nothing.
- Technical drawings and approvals Construction detail, structural sign-off where needed, and the health and safety documentation submitted to the organiser within their deadline.
- Manufacture and graphics Built and printed to the approved drawings.
- Transport and installation Into the hall and built within the organiser's schedule.
- Show cover and dismantle On-site during the show, then dismantled - and stored if the stand is coming out again.
