DESIGN

CREATING BESPOKE SPACES

Colours, shapes, graphics, lights are craftly combined by our skilled professional interior designers to create unique environments that deliver on your vision. Advances in computer simulation allow us to prepare insightful designs driven by needs, purpose and style before any wood is cut or expense made. Our design team is normally involved with:

• Preparing initial concept designs by interpreting customer's brief and/or after visit thoughts.

• Generating photo realistic 3D renderings in aid to the decision-making process.

• Amending designs for which quotes have been accepted and require further fine tuning to capture "the perfect vision".

• Providing environment walkthroughs and advise on design form and function: ensuring that spaces are practical, useful as well as beautiful.

• Producing technical drawings for event organiser and other interested parties.

• Modifying and adapting any provided artwork to make it fit-for-purpose.

PRODUCTION

BRINGING IT TO LIFE

With over 30 workshop craftsmen, we utilise their skills and expertise to cover all disciplines necessary to manufacture and deliver your exhibition stand, showroom or retail space. Our 23,000 sq.-ft manufacturing facility is equipped with modern electrical and pneumatic tools as well as our large bed Computer Numeric Control (CNC) router, allowing us to fabricate even the most complex shapes and forms that you can dream.

We also have our own graphics printing and signs fabrication studio that gives us the flexibility, control and responsiveness to produce all visuals in-house and… of course, cope with those last-minute changes to artwork.

A brief overview of our workshop ecosystem would be:

• Joiners, skilled woodworkers that one minute are striking blows with a hammer and the next are drafting shapes on CAD to program our CNC machine… or singing at the top of their voice.

• Decorators, creatures that dwell in a world of colour emulsions, stains and wallpaper. It is all about a keen eye for details, so they expend their time covering small imperfection with filler, sanding and sanding again… but never watching the paint dry.

• Electricians and AV, from shock to wow they bring light to shadows. Wiring spotlights, downlights, floodlights and LEDs is what they find entertaining, but they are also known for their occasional installation of turntables, media players and TVs… It is all about an electrifying experience, they say.

• Graphics & Signs production and fitting, a breed of their own that talk in pixels, fonts, proportions and colour wheels. They are always the last crew in and the last to go home on installation day, but what a difference they make to the corporate look and feel… for them it is all in the fingers.

LOGISTICS & INSTALL

A COHESIVE APPROACH

At 01EX we believe that success depends on the strength of the bonds holding and linking everything we do. The added value services and business initiatives that provide structure to our business, support our growth and help us deliver excellent customer service. We actively engage with this philosophy by:

• Investing in our fleet of lorries and vans, giving us control and flexibility to deliver our products and services where and when required.

• Insisting that our manufacturing team also take part in the fitting process, providing a smooth transition from our workshop to the installation site.

• Offering storage services for customers wanting to attend more than one event in a year at our secured premises helps them save money, is more environmentally friendly and has a positive impact on our logistic and planning tasks.

• Designing and manufacturing with reusability in mind. A bespoke modular approach that supports both our environmental policy and storage for reuse business model.

• Incentivising our people to engage in professional development schemes and by offering apprenticeships to count with a skilled workforce and grow the next generation of industry specialists.

• Building lasting business relationships with our clients and supply chain to make sure that we can rely on them as well as they can on us.
