Our Story

Premier Display Ltd was formed in 1985, with a young account manager, two carpenters, a small unit in Glenfield, Leicester and a handful of locally based clients. Now with over 35 years’ experience in delivering the highest level of service to some of the world’s best-known brands, Premier Display have built a wealth of expertise, constant development of our working practices to face the challenges of operating in these more competitive times means that we are more agile and better able to take on a wider range and greater quantity of work. However somethings have not changed, Premier Display has always stood out from other exhibitions contractors as we specialise in dealing directly with the end client and as we have never pushed for relentless business growth our customers can still rely on a personal and dedicated service.

Whether you have a small shell space or a scope for a double deck stand, and anything in between, Premier Display will work with you to create a unique space that enhances your brand, your marketing message and supports your product offering. We can take you through concept, CAD modelling and 3D visualisation, working with your graphic design team or marketing agency along the way to ensure you have a stand that sparkles.

Premier Display care about quality and deadlines, that is why we manufacture all our stands and installations in our own 15000 sq ft factory, with another 10000 sq ft of storage, holding an array or counters, walls, flooring, exhibition kit as well as clients stands. We ensure a flawless finish, using CNC methods where required and with our own, dedicated, spray shop.

Along our journey we have built long standing relationships with a huge variety of suppliers, including printers/AV experts and modelmakers. Premier Display continue to work only with those who share our commitment to quality, cost efficiency and customer service.

We pride ourselves on our quality, attention to detail and service, we also try our best to make all pricing transparent with no hidden extras.

Our Clients

Premier Display work with so many companies, below are just some of the clients we work with directly (many of whom we have worked with for ten to twenty years) and there are many more. We also design and build on behalf of nearly a dozen design agencies, so we have worked for so many more brands, it would be great to show some of these, but NDA’s mean we're simply not allowed, we may have even designed and built for you, and you don’t even realise it…

 
 

Terms of Business

You can be assured that our prices will always be competitive and transparent, anything excluded from the quoted price is clearly listed, and once the quote is approved we won’t charge extras unless you, the client, have approved the extra cost in writing before we go ahead. We do reserve the right to amend external costs due to, for example, late fee cost uplift (typically 10%) from printers should you be late in submitting artwork after our stated deadline.

Our payment terms:

For exhibitions are 50% prior to show/install with the remaining 50% and any extras due 30 days post show date.

For P.O.S. or retail displays are full amount due 30/60 days post-handover/completion.

For large projects may require staged payments on agreement.
