How to arrange an exhibition stand in the UK when travelling from overseas
For non-UK businesses, exhibiting in the UK can be a hugely rewarding experience as the UK holds some of the world’s most important trade events which could open up a new market for your business. However, if you are attending a trade show or exhibition in the UK from overseas, you will need to be prepared for UK exhibiting rules and regulations.
Here at ISOframe we regularly support overseas customers travelling to the UK, we know how to make the process seamless from stand design, health & safety submissions, to stand installation and dismantling. As the first step we’ve put together a few of the key points you will need to think about if you are to exhibit successfully in Britain, but for complete peace of mind contact the ISOframe team to see how we can help.
Exhibition Stand Logistics
If your company has an existing exhibition stand the options are to either transport in a van from mainland Europe or utilise a freight service, both approaches have logistical considerations and potential delays through customs and border control. A simplier approach would be to have your exhibition stand designed and built in the UK, this cuts down on transport costs and any potential customs delays.
Health and Safety
Navigating the stringent health and safety regulations in the UK is vital, particularly when incorporating large structures or demonstrating products or equipment. If you’re bringing your own stand ensure any power leads or outlets are compatible with the UK and adhere to the venues regulations. Our project management team ensures compliance with all necessary standards at each venue and can submit all necessary documentation.
Industry Terminology
Understanding industry-specific terminology is imperative. We offer clarity on terms such as exhibition stand or shell-scheme (UK), trade show booth (US), and display stand (EU) to facilitate seamless communication.
