What Full Circle Events does

Full Circle Events & Exhibitions Ltd is a privately-held UK end-to-end exhibition stand contractor headquartered in Manchester, operating from a new purpose-built 80,000 sq ft campus following a December 2025 / January 2026 relocation. The company designs, manufactures, installs, and dismantles exhibition stands for exhibition organisers and enterprise exhibitors, structured around three core product lines — Shell Scheme (modular framework packages), Show Ready (turnkey modular exhibition packages based on the ecoVISION aluminium system), and Custom Build (bespoke design and construction). Underlying capabilities include in-house large-format graphics and print via sister company Psycho Peacock (PP Graphics), AV and video walls, electrics and LED lighting, 500+ lines of furniture, sustainable flooring including Rewind carpet, CAD floorplan design, logistics, and warehouse storage for cross-event stand reuse. The technology stack is conventional operational SaaS (WordPress, HubSpot, Jira Service Desk, Wistia, an in-house ExhibitConnect ordering portal) rather than software-led, and the company holds Tier 5 ESSA Accreditation — the highest sustainability and health & safety tier awarded by the industry's primary UK body, of which its founder was a founding member and first Chair.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, quoted-per-engagement basis across enterprise and mid-market B2B clients, with dedicated sales teams segmented by service line (Organisers, Shell Scheme, Show Ready, Custom Build, Graphics). The go-to-market is relationship-driven direct enterprise sales, supplemented by content marketing, SEO, social media, and an online ordering portal. Named enterprise customers span finance (Goldman Sachs, Close Brothers), technology (HP, Microsoft), travel and tourism (Travelport, Royal Caribbean), pharmaceutical (Kindeva), aerospace and defence (GAMI at Farnborough Air Show), education, and events (RX Global). Following a 2024 management buyout that transitioned ownership to the leadership team led by CEO Steve Comar, the company has scaled headcount to 128 employees, delivers 100+ shows per year across 27+ UK and European venues, and is actively expanding its footprint into European and Middle Eastern exhibition markets.
