Poole-based exhibition stand design and build contractor Quadrant2Design has expanded its business premises. The company has acquired an additional building adjacent to the existing facility on the town’s Fulcrum industrial estate on Vantage Way.
Since 2014, Quadrant2Design has been operating in the current building, gradually increasing floor space by extending mezzanine floors and installing racking to accommodate the growth in equipment and machinery. In 2023, in a UK first, it took delivery of a Jetrix XGR320 UV printer for the production of photo floors, in addition to three of the latest Roland UV printers.
The new building is allowing Quadrant2Design to create a dedicated logistics hub to receive and inspect exhibition stand hardware and customer graphics. Newly freed-up space in the existing unit will be dedicated to pre-building and production. In addition to units in Vantage Way, the company also has a storage facility in Wareham for customer graphics.
According to company director Andrew Carney: "This purchase excites me for two very significant reasons. Firstly, this natural expansion reminds us of the company's physical growth, a tangible representation of our successful business model. Obviously, it makes me feel very happy we've grown whilst remaining extremely profitable as a company.
"Secondly, this expansion brings a sense of calm and relaxation. We take pride in the execution of our stands, and as our client base has grown exponentially, it was essential not to let the lack of space influence the quality of our products. Now, with sufficient space, we have an organised, calm, and efficient workspace to continue operating to the standards our clients are used to."
