NEC Birmingham Exhibition Stand Builder
Exhibition Stand Design & Build at the NEC Birmingham
Exhibiting at the NEC? We understand what it takes to deliver a stand that works — from the first design through to installation and dismantling.
Synergy Studios provides complete exhibition stand design and build services for companies exhibiting at the NEC Birmingham.
We understand that every exhibition is different. Your stand might be a relatively compact space designed to showcase a small range of products, or a much larger environment requiring product demonstrations, meeting areas, hospitality and complex services.
Whatever the size or requirements, we work with you to understand what your stand needs to achieve, develop the right solution and manage the project through to completion.

DESIGNED AROUND YOUR NEEDS
Your stand is designed around your brand, exhibition space and objectives, whether you’re looking for a bespoke build or a modular aluminium solution.
Experienced Exhibition Stand Builders at the NEC
We Know the NEC. And We Know What Can Go Wrong.
Having worked at the NEC for many years, we understand the venue from an exhibition stand builder’s perspective.
From the practicalities of accessing different halls to coordinating deliveries, working with on-site suppliers and understanding what to expect during build-up and breakdown, experience makes a significant difference.
It’s not simply about getting a stand built.
It’s about knowing what needs to happen, when it needs to happen and how to deal with the unexpected when something doesn’t go exactly to plan.
We know where to go when something is needed at short notice, we understand the practical limitations that can affect a build and we have established relationships with the suppliers and services we regularly work alongside.
That experience helps us make problems go away — ideally before they start, and certainly before they become an issue for you.
Whether you’re exhibiting at the NEC with a 4m x 3m stand or a much larger space, we give every project the same attention to detail.
Our Exhibition Stand Gallery
Take a look at some of the exhibition stands we’ve designed and delivered for businesses across different industries, venues and stand sizes.
Every project is different, but the same approach applies throughout: understand the brief, develop the right design and manage the details through to installation.

Exhibition Stands Designed Around Your Objectives
Your exhibition stand needs to do more than fill the space you’ve booked.
It needs to represent your business, present your products or services effectively and create an environment where your team can have meaningful conversations with visitors.
That’s why we start by understanding what you need the stand to achieve.
Depending on your requirements, this might include:
- Product displays and demonstrations
- Open, welcoming visitor areas
- Meeting spaces
- Hospitality areas
- Storage
- AV and digital displays
- Strong brand presentation
- Suspended elements and lighting
- Space for large or specialist equipment
- Practical requirements associated with your particular exhibition
We then develop the stand around those requirements rather than trying to fit your business into a predetermined solution.
From Concept to Completed NEC Exhibition Stand
One Team Managing the Complete Process
We can manage your exhibition stand from the initial brief through to the finished stand on the NEC show floor.
Discover
We understand your objectives, your exhibition space, your products and the experience you want to create for visitors.
Design
We develop the stand concept around your requirements, considering presentation, visitor flow, meeting areas, storage, branding and practical requirements.
Develop
Once the design is agreed, we coordinate the detail required to turn the concept into a finished exhibition stand.
Manufacture & Test
We coordinate production, graphics, logistics and the various services required to deliver the stand to the NEC.
Install
Our team manages the installation and ensures the stand is ready for your exhibition.
Dismantle
Once the show has finished, we manage the dismantling process so your team can concentrate on leaving the exhibition rather than managing the stand.

Houweling Group — EMPACK / Packaging Innovations
4m x 3m Exhibition Stand. Houweling Group’s 4m x 3m stand demonstrates how a smaller exhibition space can still have a strong visual identity. The stand combined the modular construction system with bespoke elements, including shelves made from untreated FSC-certified…
Nosa — Grand Designs Live

Exhibition Stand Solutions for NEC Exhibitors
There isn’t one type of exhibition stand that works for every exhibitor.
Some businesses need a highly customised environment designed around specific products, machinery or visitor experiences.
Others need an efficient, carefully considered stand that makes the most of a smaller space.
Our role is to understand the brief and recommend the right approach.
Whether your NEC stand is large or small, the focus remains the same:
A well-designed stand that works for your business and your exhibition.

Exhibition Stand Design & Build
We Manage the Details So You Don’t Have To
Exhibition Build-Up
The build period can be unfamiliar territory, particularly if you don’t regularly exhibit at the NEC.
We can advise you on what to expect and help coordinate the various elements required to get your stand ready.
Our experience means we understand the importance of timing and communication during build-up.
You don’t want your team arriving unnecessarily early and spending hours waiting for something to happen.
Equally, you don’t want to discover a problem when the exhibition is about to open.
We keep the process organised and communicate what you need to know so that your team can concentrate on preparing for the exhibition itself.
After Handover
Once the stand has been completed and handed over, your team can concentrate on the exhibition itself.
Our job is to make sure everything that needs to be in place for the stand has been coordinated before you arrive, so you can start the show confident that the stand is ready.
If you have arranged particular services or suppliers directly, we’ll make sure responsibilities are clear during the project and can help coordinate where appropriate.
After the Show
The same applies to breakdown.
After a busy exhibition, the last thing your team needs is unnecessary uncertainty about when the stand will be dismantled or how the process will work.
We manage the breakdown and keep you informed so that you can leave the NEC knowing the stand is being taken care of.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an exhibition stand at the NEC cost?
There is no single price for an NEC exhibition stand.
The cost depends on factors including the size of your space, the design, the products or equipment being displayed, graphics, furniture, AV, lighting, storage and other requirements.
The best way to establish what your stand is likely to cost is to discuss your requirements with us.
How early should I contact an exhibition stand builder for the NEC?
The earlier you can involve your stand builder, the more time there is to develop the design, agree the details and coordinate the practical requirements.
However, we understand that exhibition projects don’t always start as early as planned. If you already have a stand space booked and the exhibition is approaching, talk to us and we’ll establish what needs to happen and when.
Can you manage the complete exhibition stand project?
Yes.
Our complete stand service can include design, project management, production, graphics, logistics, venue coordination, installation and dismantling.
We can also work alongside services or suppliers that you prefer to arrange directly.
The important thing is that responsibilities are clear and the overall project is coordinated.
Do you work on both large and small NEC stands?
Yes.
We’ve delivered everything from a 4m x 3m stand through to much larger projects such as the 12m x 7m Convergint stand and the 17.5m x 14m STUGA stand.
The size of the stand doesn’t determine the level of care we give the project.
Can you help if we have large equipment or machinery to display?
Yes.
We’ve delivered NEC stands where large machinery and working demonstrations were central to the exhibition experience.
For example, our 17.5m x 14m STUGA stand at FIT Show was designed around large working machines and required coordination of their delivery and associated services, including compressed air.
If you have specialist equipment to display, tell us about it at the beginning of the project so that we can incorporate the practical requirements into the stand design.
Can you help with graphics and artwork?
Yes.
We can coordinate exhibition graphics as part of the overall stand project.
Where clients have their own internal graphics team or external designer, we’re happy to work alongside them. Where additional support is required, we can help coordinate the artwork process.
For the Convergint stand at The Security Event, for example, we created the complete stand artwork when the client’s in-house graphics team was unavailable due to scheduling constraints.
