The UK is an important market for trade fairs and business events in the solar and energy sector. At industry trade shows such as Solar & Storage, leading brands present their innovations in solar energy, storage and smart energy grids. KOP Expo is regularly active here as a stand builder for exhibitors in the renewable energy, technology and installation sectors. We understand the facilities and guidelines of various venues, such as the NEC in Birmingham, ExCeL London and other leading exhibition spaces, and deliver complete stands: from strategic design and engineering to turnkey delivery and storage.

How KOP delivers stand construction in the UK
KOP creates tailor-made exhibition stands for venues such as ExCeL London and the NEC in Birmingham. Whether you need a compact corner stand or a large-scale brand experience, as a full-service stand contractor we take care of the design, engineering, production and turnkey delivery. Our approach is always customised, but every project goes through three clear phases: design, production and realisation.
Having an exhibition stand designed
We start with a clear briefing: the purpose of the trade fair, target audience, KPIs and desired brand experience. Based on this, we develop a creative concept with routing, sightlines, positions for demos and clear CTA zones. You’ll receive a transparent budget with options for modular reuse and scalable AV.

Exhibition stand production
In the production phase, we prefabricate as many components as possible in our workshop to ensure fast and error-free assembly in England. We take care of all technical requests, such as power, water, internet, rigging and floor load capacity. Graphics, AV and furniture are tested and labelled so that everything can be placed in the right spot straight away.
Assembly and turnkey delivery
Shortly before the trade fair, we take care of transport and our team professionally assembles the stand according to schedule. We handle the final styling, technical checks and safety inspections and deliver everything turnkey. After the event, we arrange dismantling, storage and further development for your next participation at ExCeL or elsewhere, for example RAI Amsterdam or EuroShop.
Frequently asked questions about stand construction
▶ How much does an exhibition stand or stand build cost?
The cost of stand construction varies per project, because every design, size and concept is unique. At KOP Expo we create a tailored proposal based on your brand objectives, design preferences and desired finish. We also think along with you about smart choices in materials and reuse, so your investment continues to deliver returns in the long term.
▶ How long does stand construction take from design to delivery?
The average lead time for a complete stand construction project is between 16 and 24 weeks. This includes the design phase, technical development, production, assembly and coordination with the trade show organiser. We start well in advance to ensure every detail is right and handover runs smoothly.
▶ What types of exhibition stands are there?
There are different types of exhibition stands, such as inline stands, corner stands, peninsula stands and island stands. Each type has its own advantages in terms of visibility, visitor flow and interaction with visitors. At KOP Expo we design every concept fully bespoke, tailored to the space, target audience and look and feel of your brand.
▶ Is sustainable stand construction possible?
Yes, sustainability is a fixed part of the way we work. We design for reuse, work with circular materials and produce with attention to the environment and efficiency. A sustainable stand is not only better for the planet, it also strengthens your brand image on the exhibition floor.
▶ How do you prepare for a trade fair?
A successful trade fair participation starts with a solid plan: clear goals, the right message and a stand that reinforces your brand. Think about visitor flows, demonstrations and the right team on the stand. KOP Expo supports you in the preparation so your trade fair delivers maximum results.
▶ What is the difference between modular and bespoke stand construction?
A modular stand consists of reusable elements and offers a lot of flexibility for recurring trade fairs. A bespoke stand is fully tailored to your brand and creates a unique appearance. KOP Expo combines the best of both worlds, so your stand is functional, sustainable and distinctive.
AV, LED & interacteve demo’s
Technology is there to serve your story: LED walls, audio, touchscreens and sensors are integrated for maximum stopping power. We test all hardware and content in advance so everything is plug-and-play on the exhibition floor. Interaction increases dwell time and lead quality, while we take care of cable management and service access in a clean and efficient way.
Sustainable stand construction: modular & circular
We build using reusable frames, recycled panels and energy-efficient LEDs to reduce your footprint. Thanks to modular customisation, you can adapt layouts and floor space for each trade fair without having to reinvest every time. This lowers your TCO over the entire year while keeping your appearance premium. Read more about sustainable stand construction.
Storage, maintenance & trade fair calendar management
After the event, we carefully dismantle the stand, label all components and store them under our management. We schedule maintenance, graphic updates and further development towards your next show. This way, you have a single partner for design, stand construction, logistics and full lifecycle management of your exhibition stand.
Measurable results & optimisation
We design around visitor flow and conversion points, so that conversations, demos and scans demonstrably increase. After each trade fair, we evaluate the KPIs and optimise the layout, messaging and use of AV. This way, your concept becomes stronger with every edition and the ROI of your trade fair participation keeps growing.

What does stand construction cost?
The cost of stand construction varies per project. Factors include the number of square metres, design complexity, choice of materials, the use of AV/LED, rental or purchase components and logistics (build-up and breakdown, transport). Because every brand and every trade fair is different, we don’t work with fixed prices but with a transparent, tailored quotation. As part of this, we advise on reuse and the total cost over multiple trade fairs (TCO).
