Our Team
Meet the Motive Exhibition team
Who are we? We’re Motive, an exhibition stand design and build team
At Motive Exhibitions, our friendly team of exhibition specialists have years of experience in designing, project managing, building and installing show-stopping exhibitions to wow your audience.
Based in Cambridgeshire, Motive Exhibitions are not simply exhibition builders covering the Midlands, as we work in exhibition halls across the whole of the UK and Europe. Our designers are up to date with the latest innovations and technology and will work with you to produce an exhibition stand to inspire your customers, whatever the size of your organisation, budget or location.
What about you?
Feeling like you’ve more chance of keeping the seagulls off your chips than organising an exhibition stand?
Feeling more out of your depth than a hippo on roller skates?
Fear not, we’re just the team to keep the wheels going round and everyone enjoying themselves.
Let’s answer some questions you might have about us:
Oh, you’ve not heard of us?
Awks. We’ve been around since 2020. We’ve pooled our collective experience to create a great exhibition company (just quoting a client).
So who are Motive Exhibitions?
We’re a small exhibition design, build and installation company, based in Cambridgeshire, installing exhibition stands all over the UK.
Sounds a bit ambitious, how the flipping heck do you do that?
Who says? We have a lean team who are good at what they do, with lots of experience (too many years to mention!). Quite often we’re taking more than one client to the same location. No sweat here.
Yeah, but how do you really do that?
Good planning, really good planning and a great team who know what they’re doing. Oh, and a lot of hard work.
What don’t you do?
Banner stands, pop-up stands or tabletop stands.
Can I have a list of what you actually do?
Exhibition design, build, installation and project management. Custom exhibition stands, modular stands and shell scheme stands and all the bells and whistles that come with it. And you can hire or buy it.
Is hiring an exhibition stand a thing?
It certainly is! Hiring exhibition stands is extremely popular and definitely a ‘thing’ now.
Will I actually know anyone you work for?
Absolutely.
People buy people. I want to know who I will be dealing with. What do you look like?
Put your sunnies on. These smiles are dazzling.

You’re the new kids on the block. Should I be worried?
If you love feeling like the smallest client, the bureaucracy of account managers and enjoy bean bags and Zen rooms, then we’re probably not right.
New kids as a company, we might be, but we know what makes a great client very happy and unless you want to design a new exhibition stand every week, then we should be absolutely fine. Individually, we’ve all been in the industry for far too many years…
How much is an exhibition stand?
How big is the stand space you’ve got?
You might find our blog posts useful in planning and budgeting or just give us a ring. We’re all for helping out.
What do your clients say about you, apart from your sense of humour is a bit left-field (and that’s putting it kindly)?
What we lack in years as a business, we more than make up with on client testimonials.
