Case Study

Aiming to raise the profile of Welsh manufacturing companies amongst audiences of over 12,000 trade visitors, Fernleigh Design were chosen to build, install and deliver this multi-exhibitor pavilion stand (ranging in size from 72m2-108.5m2) over 2 separate events.

THE BRIEF:
Emphasis was placed on the need for a high quality build combined with the required level of robustness – if elements of the stand were to be used at the second event, they needed to look just as good second-time around.

Specific elements required included:

  • On-stand features including various hidden storage areas, a coffee machine, and a plasma AV and media player to promote Wales and the AM&M sector
  • Built in line with event guidelines and show regulations, with installation to include signage, high-level branding, artwork and general and feature lighting
  • The provision of various furnishings including floor covering throughout, tables and chairs for a meeting area, and freestanding racks for marketing literature
  • Access to electricity and storage for sharer pods to accommodate multiple exhibitors
  • Wherever possible, stand components were to be either re-useable or easily recycled The roles required of Fernleigh Design included transportation and logistics, installation and removal, site support and site service orders, manufacture, and project management.

THE PROJECT:

Construction: Throughout the construction process any amendments or changes to specification were recorded – this enabled us to monitor variations, ensure the client’s instructions were noted and acted upon, and formed a record of any cost variations that were incurred. All elements of the stand were put together on the shop floor to ensure that everything worked as required before transporting to site. To help with continuity, we allocated members of the same team to the site build to ensure maximum efficiency when it came to the final build in situ.

Quality Control: As standard, we used our Quality Control system in this project to ensure there were no defects in workshop construction, and that the stand was built to the highest standards, checked, and authorised by a director before it even left our premises.

Delivery & Installation: Each of the stands travelled via one van and one 7.5 tonne truck the day before installation, allowing contingency time for any issues experienced during transit. The on-site build of this project took 3 days with a 4-person crew, including installation of each component and a final deep clean to ensure the stand was clean prior to handover.

On site liaison: When it came to working with event organisers, our contracts manager took responsibility for liaising with site service providers, implementing ordering protocol for all site services, and overseeing construction on site. Similarly, our project management team organised services where needed – such as stand cleaning, refreshments, and hospitality staff – and liaised with exhibition organisers to ensure deadlines were met, necessary permissions to build were obtained, and relevant insurances were put in place.

THE RESULT:

Each stand was delivered to budget and specification, with handover to the client taking place 24 hours before the event. There were no additional costs on the contract other than those notified and agreed, and each of the stands were built to ISO9001 quality standards and procedures. Our standby crew were on hand to iron out any problems during the open period of the show and our project management team ensured the smooth delivery of desired outcomes at each exhibition. The build, installation and delivery of this project met all expectations for the client, whom we continue to receive repeat business from.
