The Halo Group

What The Halo Group does

The Halo Group is a London-based design, fabrication, and installation company that builds modular steel structures for the events, hospitality, sports, and semi-permanent construction markets. Its core product is a proprietary modular system of lightweight RSJ beams and connector bolts that can be hand-assembled without heavy machinery, with 0.5m-to-5.0m beam spans in 500mm increments, M16 fixing points every 500mm, a 5kN/m² load rating, and patented Rivet Nut and Adjustable Extension Block components enabling construction on unlevel surfaces at almost any height. The company operates across two service modes: a Temporary Structure Design service (for events, exhibitions, festivals, and brand activations, with a Dry Hire rental option) and a Permanent/Semi-Permanent Design & Build service aligned to RIBA stages for councils, developers, and venue operators. It is accredited under SSIP, a Mental Health Charter committed employer, and tracks project carbon through Isla's Trace Platform, with a stated 50%-by-2030 / Net-Zero-by-2050 ambition.

The Halo Group generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts — bespoke design, fabrication, and on-site installation of modular structures — supplemented by recurring-style monthly Dry Hire rental income and professional design services charged on a sliding scale. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales: the company engages agencies, brands, councils, venue operators, and developers through tenders, creative briefs, and direct enquiries, with a UK core and international delivery (EMEA, Middle East including UAE and Saudi Arabia, and continental Europe) supported by specialist logistics partners. Customers are predominantly large enterprises and rights-holders, with marquee logos including Formula E, Wimbledon Championships, Goodwood Racecourse, BMW, Red Bull, Sony PlayStation, Sky Studios, Ticketmaster, and Ocean Infinity. The company is privately held, founded around 2010–2014, operates from a London headquarters in Wandsworth with a Shrewsbury warehouse, and runs a multi-disciplinary in-house Design Lab covering engineering, architecture, construction, fabrication, and graphic design.

Core offering

The Halo Group designs, fabricates, builds, and installs bespoke modular steel structures for events, hospitality, sports, festivals, exhibitions, and permanent or semi-permanent installations. Its proprietary Halo Modular Structure System uses lightweight RSJ beams and connector bolts that assemble by hand without heavy machinery, combined with a Design Lab offering full design packs, technical drawings, and project management. The company also delivers turnkey commercial interior design-and-build projects and rents structures on a dry-hire basis with full technical documentation.

Product overview

The Halo Group offers a unified modular structure system centered around their proprietary Halo modular steel build system. This core product consists of various component types (M-series mezzanines, G-series ground structures, H-series structures) that can be combined or customized to create bespoke solutions. The company provides two primary service delivery methods: Temporary Structure Design and Permanent/Semi-Permanent Design & Build. Their sector-specific sub-brands (Hospitality Structures, Event Structures, Sports Structures, Festival Structures, Exhibition Stands, Pop Up Structures, and Temporary Warehouses) all leverage the same underlying modular steel system, adapted to meet the specific requirements of each market vertical. The Design Lab provides in-house design services using SketchUp, Auto CAD, Cinema 4D, and Vector Works to deliver detailed renders and technical drawings.
