About
We're Quadrant2Design and we're the exclusive UK designers and supplier of the Prestige Events System; a unique modular, scalable exhibition stand system that gives clients the important option to easily self-build, and still achieve a 'custom-built' look to their events and exhibitions.
We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to work with the Prestige Events System; a solution that has a number of unique design and quality characteristics that make it clearly the best solution for exhibition stands up to 100sqM.
The most significant advantages of Prestige revolve around the lightweight (but immensely strong) expanding frame structure, it's modularity and the speed and ease of building with the system
Exhibition stands built from Prestige look unique, with flowing panoramic graphics and integrated showcases, desks and digital screen presentations.
A bit of history: my first encounter with Prestige was in the early 90’s when I was working in North London, for an exhibition company who we're the first to introduce the system to the UK. For various reasons, they were unsuited to developing the potential of the system, although Prestige continued to enjoy great success in Europe.
Fast track a decade, and my next encounter with the Prestige was at the ‘Exhibiting Show’ London in 2003. The Swiss manufacturers of Prestige, Expo Display Service AG, were at the show looking for representation in the UK. Because I had previous knowledge of the Prestige Events System I recognised what a truly great opportunity this was!
Quadrant2Design are now considered the leading International Designers and Developers of the Prestige System, and sole supplier in the United Kingdom.
All of our key-services are in-house and under one-roof; including CAD design, graphic design, graphics production, manufacture, pre-builds and Worldwide installations.
And please remember design ideas and visuals are supplied free! -

We've been around now for fourteen years and have built a great reputation designing and building modular exhibition stands and retail displays for a wide variety of blue-chip and small to medium sized enterprises.

Modular exhibition stand design and build consultancyFreeStyle - modular exhibition stand solutions1987 - 1999 (12 years)Prior to setting up Quadrant2Design I worked for a number of large format exhibition graphics and exhibition design and build contractors on a freelance consultancy basis.
In this capacity I have worked with hundreds, if not thousands of clients, helping them design, project manage and deliver their modular exhibition stand projects, retail display, roadshows, signage and graphics projects.
My experience in these years honed my exhibition industry skills, especially in project managing clients exhibition stands and display projects, often to tight deadlines and in challenging circumstances.
Working with lots of different exhibition contractors I had numerous examples of 'poor-practice' and poor organisation, which led me to vow that should I ever run my own exhibition design & build company, I would make sure I did it very different and much better! This I think is what myself and my colleagues have achieved at Quadrant2Design.
During this period my work entailed:
Design and installation of Marketing Suites into the City of London
Design, project management and installation of modular exhibition stands
Design, project management and installation of retail displays
Design, project management and installation of signage and retail graphics
Design, project management and installation of portable exhibition stands
Design, project management and installation of custom exhibition stands
Design, project management and installation of conference sets
Event management and logistics
