What Display Graphics does

Display Graphics Ltd. is a private UK-based specialist in exhibition stand design, construction, and project management, headquartered in Soham, Ely, Cambridgeshire, and operating as a strategic subsidiary of the Absolute Production Group. Founded in 1984, the company delivers bespoke trade show and corporate event stands combining in-house 3D CAD design, fabrication workshops, large-format digital printing, integrated AV and lighting, and on-site installation with organiser liaison. Service delivery is supported by insured logistics to UK and international venues plus stand storage between events.

The business operates a project-based, quote-on-specification B2B model with two-stage payment terms (50% on contract creation, balance on completion or exhibition opening). It targets enterprise clients across healthcare and medical, technology and electronics, agriculture, retail and consumer goods, aviation, and education, with a disclosed client roster that includes Yamaha, Sephora, Medtronic, Fujifilm, DHL, Kyowa Kirin, Nexo, and Owl Labs. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with event-driven outreach — the company maintains an active presence at major UK and international exhibitions including BETT, Health Plus Care, UK Games Expo, Cannes Lions, EBACE Geneva, and ESC Amsterdam — supported by a website portfolio and a small set of social channels.

Beyond core exhibition stands, Display Graphics offers four adjacent services — scenic and stage set design, graphics and large-format printing, banner stands and portable displays, and vehicle and signage services — delivered through the same in-house facilities and extended globally via the Absolute Production Group network. The company is GDPR-compliant, has issued its first Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and lists a workforce of 2-10 employees in its own regulatory disclosures. There is no public funding, no external investor base, and no app or API surface; integrations are limited to a third-party CRM (Zymplify) for marketing automation.
