Gantry, gantry, gantry and....Cheese!

2011-02-24T12:07:00.000Z

Here at Display Wizard we are still busy with Gantry Exhibition Systems. The image above is a Gantry Exhibition Stand we created for Harken at The London Boat Show, they also used it at The Southampton Boat Show.

The Gantry Exhibition System we built at The Boat and Caravan Show will be taken down on Sunday, prior to that The Still Fork lift Gantry Exhibition Stand is being built at The Food and Drink Logistics Show. We have also designed a Ganrty with Fabric Backdrop Exhibition Stand for The Ideal Home Show.

Still on the Exhibition side of things we are still in 'Motor Mode' as we have been asked to produce a Ganrty Exhibition System to show a Merecdes SL63 for BIBA 2011, held in Manchester.

On the Large Format Print side of things we have a full job sheet with Pop Up Exhibition Systems and Roll Up Banner Stands coming of the Printers . We are looking into purchasing a new Large Format Printer and changing to Bulk Ink Systems.

With the P.O.S. products we have produced a DC-2 Folding Counter for Pembrokeshire Cheese, which looks very great. I wonder if Wallace and Gromit eat Pembrokeshire Cheese.

How do you pronounce my name?

I will have to be brief as I am in the middle of a Gantry with Fabric Backdrop design for a Customer who is attending The Ideal Home Show at Earls Court. Looking at the Show Website I see that the Garden Designer Diarmuid Gavin will be there. As my first name is Diarmuid he has been a great help with people being able to get thier head around the spelling, I suppouse the same can be said for a lot of Irish names. Other celebrities attending are Gregg Walice from Master Chef and Matt Dawson, who must have a lot of time on his hands now he is no longer competing in The Six Nations Rugby.

Looking through the Job Sheet we seem to be having an N.G.O. day with work for Shelter, The Freedom Fire Ministry, Voluntary Action Leicester and The Royal Brompton Hospital. It's good to feel we can help such organisations.

These are some great images that we were asked to print onto foamex board.

Where's Our Invite to the Royal Wedding!

2011-02-23T09:36:00.000Z

Firstlly can I send our thought and prayers to all in Christchurch, New Zealand and especially to Ruth Hill who used to work here at Display Wizard. The same sentement goes out to the people of Libia during there Titanic struggle for democracy.

On a lighter note you may have noticed a lack of a post since last week due to the fact that we built a large Gantry Exhibition Stand with Fabric Back Drops at The Boat & Carvan Show, held at the NEC Birmingham. All went well save the clutch going in the Display Wizard Van. All yesterday morning was taken up getting the Van recovered. I must say when you are chugging along in a breakdown truck you really notice how bad the roads have become.

On the Large Format Printing side of things we produced a Pop Up Exhibition Stand for Christopher Stephens Jewelers who are based in Lyndhust. The rings looked exellent, this reminded me that we have not recieved our invatation for the Royal Wedding. I see that Prince William and Kate Middleton have invited the Beckhams, I suppose our invatation must have got lost in the post......thats Royal Mail for ya!

Looking through the Job list there are lots of Roll Up Banner Stands and Pop Ups being printed, it's great to see the high standard of Graphic Design that comes through the various Crative Agencies and Marketing Companies.

The Motoring theme still continues with some great World Rally images of the Ford Rally Team (I will post some pictures later)

On the Ganrty Exhibition Hire side of things we are building an Exhibition Stand for Still Fork Lift Trucks at The Food and Drink Logistics Show and also one at The Contact Cleaning Show .

Kangoo TV & Boon's Monthly Coffee Mug Clean

2011-02-18T09:36:00.001Z

Good Morning All,

Well here at Display Wizard, this weeks Motoring theme is continuing. As you will know from yesterdays post we are off to build a Gantry Exhibition Stand at The Boat and Caravan Show.

The news about the possible cancelation of the Bahrain Grand Prix reminded me of a FLEX-Display Stand we created for Kangoo TV, which has a image of Lewis Hamelton on it. The FLEX-Display Banners are extremely light to transport, hence Kangoo TV using them for all the F1 Events.

On a lighter note, Boon (one of our print guys) has just given his oversized mug it's annual monthly wash. You may now be asking me why I mentioned this.....well I thought it was quite funny as he is printing a Roll Up Banner Stands for Aggies Pro-Biotic Cleaning Products, Aggie being one of the cleaning Women from the telly. I don't know about you but I felt this was a little ironic!

Best go and get the Van sorted for The Boat and Caravan Show, wonder if we will see Jeremy Clarkson there?

I will let you know how thing went on Monday.

The Car Zone, Pendragon Group, Rotherham Hospital and more...

2011-02-17T08:06:00.010Z

Well it's going to be yet another busy day here at Display Wizard.

Looking through today's job sheet I see this weeks Motoring theme seems to be continuing with a Budget Pop Up Bundle being printed for The Car Zone who specialize in Subaru, Renault, Mazda and Ford. There are also some Tyre Price Stands for the Pendragon Group. To keep these Vehicles on the Road we are also doing a curved 3 x 3 Pop Up for The Institute of Highway Engineering.

However to counteract this , with a view on 'Saving The Planet ' we are producing a Pop Up for Straw Fuels LLP. To keep the British Public alive to drive the Cars, use the Highways and heat themselves with Straw Fuels we are doing a Reception Display for Rotherham Hospital and also more Roll Up Banners for CTS Dental Supplies.

On the Gantry Exhibition side of things we had two more enquires yesterday, which are in the design stage now , so I will keep you posted. The image above is of Aston Martin Heritage Racing for whom we did Outdoor Flags and Banners for a race day at Brands Hatch.

Best get on with some work now. Will Blog again tomorrow.

Interiors 2011 Exhibition Stands

2011-02-16T17:08:00.010Z

Just thought I would post a few Exhibition Stand Images . The three below were at Interiors 2011.

Sorry it's been a while!

2011-02-16T16:21:00.011Z

Hi All,

Excuse the long long long pause in our Blogging but we are now back on the case and will try to keep this as regular as possible! Right....here it goes:

Here at Display Wizard besides the regular Large Format Printing of Banner Stands, Pop Up's and so on, we are really busy with Gantry Exhibition Stand Hire.

Kieran and Frazer have been building at The Pure Fashion Show at Olympia and Earls Court in London. We designed and built a Gantry System with Fabrics for James Lakeland Fashions. The Lads really enjoyed the build as the Show was full of Top Fashion Models, who are easier on the eye than the usual Stand Riggers.

We have also built our regular Stand for Stoneglow Candles at The Spring Fair. Stoneglow also show at Top Draw, and Harrogate Home and Gift .

The Interiors Show proved busy as here we built three Large Gantry and Fabric Backdrop Stands. Prior to Interiors we built a Gantry Systems for 3M at the Motor Bike Show, Bendi Fork Lift Trucks, Dorset Fire and Rescue and also three Gantry Stand at B.E.A Systems at Samlesbury.

Exhibition Stand to be built in the near future include The European Coatings Show, The Boat and Caravan Show, The Natural Stone Show and The Materials Handling Show.

On The P.O.S. / Visual Marketing side of things as a result of our Range Rover Winter Tyre Stand we have been asked to produce something similar for Jaguar and Aston Martin. We have also printed some Outdoor Vinyl Banners for Mercedes .

That's all for now, lets see what Tomorrow brings .

Our First Blog

2009-08-25T15:35:00.011+01:00

Hello All,

Well this is a first on two fronts, this being our first ever Blog and also the first Blog recounting the Exhibition builds and designs that Display Wizard are involved in.

Here at Display Wizard we are involved in the design and build of Exhibition Stands using Modular Build Systems. The Wizard Air Frame allows us to build Bespoke Stands using a modular frame work that can be reused and reconfigured time and time again. This system cuts out waste of material, and saves in time and transport costs, so it is very environmentally friendly.

There seams to be a problem with the perception of Modular yet 'Bespoke' Exhibition Stand builds as people can not grasp the concept that they can achieve the Exhibition Stand they desire at a relatively low budget and also use the Exhibition Stand time and time again. They still spend huge amounts of their Marketing Budget on plywood stands that are thrown away after the Show.

We are just about to start the eleventh build of a 8 m x 4m x 3.5 high backlit Exhibition Stand for Stonglow Candles. This stand has glass product shelving and storage, that has stood up
against the more traditionally built stands each time our client has used the stand.

Thank you for reading our first Blog , I hope they will improve with time .

Please visit www.displaywizard.co.uk to see a sample of our work.

All The Best,

The Display Wizard Team
