Heating up in June!
Exhibit 3sixty Ltd
Designing and overseeing the construction and installation of exhibitition stands since 2008
Ah, June, the start of the start of the warmer summer months! As July approaches, it marks the beginning of the end of the hectic exhibitions season, and while this means heading off on summer holidays, June saw no signs of slowing down!?
We’ve been kept on our toes all month with a handful of large full-service shows, stand builds and logistics, including NHS ConfedExpo, Installer Show, and Hillhead. We’ve been up and down the country and even delivered stands in Germany. While we wished we could stop off to cheer on the England squad at the Euros, we were needed back at Exhibit 3Sixty HQ to complete the final bits of prep work for other upcoming shows.?
Full service -
NHS Confed Expo
NHS ConfedExpo, the premier event in the healthcare sector, returned for the 76th edition of the show. Over two days, the event welcomed thousands of health and care professionals from across the industry to convene, network, and engage with the agenda, with over 150 speaker sessions on the latest developments, and key issues in the industry.?
After winning the contract in 2023, we returned as the full-service contractor for the 2024 show with fresh ideas and new designs. A team of more than 50 people headed over to Manchester Central for the two-day build before the opening of the show on the 12th June, 2024.
We designed and delivered 4000m2 of floor covering, 2000m2 of shell scheme, 1000m2 of graphics, three exhibitor stands and nine feature areas, including two new areas, the Speakers Studio and the Podcast Studio which were centrally located in the exhibition hall to create a hub of content and entertainment, that hosted guest speakers for its in-person and online viewers, watching both live and post-event.
Both Andy and Alan were on site for the build and ensured the whole operation ran smoothly. The build-up was a resounding success, and the team welcomed comments from exhibitors and event organiser Nick Westerman, which you can find in the post below.
Installer Show
Back to the NEC for our second full-service build, Installer Show, the UK’s largest event for heat, water, air and energy technology. With 50% more space than the previous year, we expanded our services from the 2023 event and delivered 22 feature areas, including the installation of over 1000m2 of floor covering and over 500m2 of graphics, with the help from our friends at Bang-On Graphics.?
Following the design from the 2023 event, our creative director, Steve Crumpton, worked closely with Installer to create the various areas, including cafes, theatres, entrances, space-only stands and more.
We also received some fantastic feedback from clients, which you can find on our LinkedIn page:?
Logistics
Hillhead?
Our logistics director, Matthew Williams and Hillhead veteran Stephen Stewart returned to the UK’s largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition, Hillhead, Hillhead Quarry,? Buxton, 25th-27th June 2024, with Exhibit 3Sixty debuting as the forklift lifting contractor.?
Over the course of 8 days, a team of 18 were on-site during the build-up to manoeuvre exhibitors' equipment to their stand locations around the quarry. Despite the challenging conditions of the rough and rugged terrain, the team successfully completed the project with ease.?

Stand build
Kearney
We have been working with Kerney at Smart Factory for two years, and we were delighted to return for the build of its 36m2 stand at the 2024 event, back on our home turf at the NEC, Birmingham.
Calgavin
A quick trip across the English Channel saw us in Frankfurt, Germany, delivering a stand at Achema Show for our returning client, Calgavin.?
?GP
Over to ExCeL London, for CIPD Festival of Work, 12-13th June 2024, where we built a space for our returning client, the award-winning Globalisation Partners.?
The simplicity of the stand design and neutral tones contrasted with the vibrant use of colour to make the branding pop. The green hues from the artificial foliage contrasted with the blue hues on the mobile bar, the visuals on the screen and the on-stand storage space to highlight GP's key messages.
Rail Live
Next, we headed over to Porterbrook’s Long Marston Rail, Innovation Centre Peterborough, for the return of the outdoor exhibition Rail Live, where we built two stands for our returning customers, Pandrol and the 150m2 space for Cubis Systems.?
We have designed and built Pandrol’s stand at Rail Live for four consecutive years now, making use of the reusable space, designed and built in 2021, and as you can see, it has stood the test of time. It’s always a pleasure to work with Pandrol, and we’re thrilled when they share their feedback with us. Click here to view the full post.
Coming up in July:?
We’re anticipating a quieter month here at Exhibit 3Sixty HQ, with a handful of D&B clients including a pavilion for the Formula E show at ExCeL London.
While some of our team will be jetting off to enjoy their well-earned summer holidays, you can find us on the sponsored bar at Sticky Wicket, Old Wimbledonians Cricket Club, London, 18th July, or winning at the ESSA Golf Day, the Forest of Arden, 11th July.
We hope you have a fantastic summer!
