A LITTLE MORE ABOUTS US

​

​

Exhibitions have well and truly withstood the test of time; in fact the world’s first exhibition took place nearly 170 years ago and the number of exhibitions happening each year is increasing all the time, showing no signs of slowing down!

​

It’s clear why, they provide an unrivalled opportunity for businesses across the world, big and small, to showcase their products & services and build invaluable face to face connections with their customers.

​

However, with all the huge benefits they bring, we know that exhibiting is expensive and incredibly time consuming. As well as that, exhibition suppliers tend to only specialise in one type of product and can only deliver to certain venues or certain exhibitions at any given time. This all means that exhibitors have no choice but to use lots of different suppliers, leading to lots of lengthy paper order forms, phone calls and emails just to get everything sorted.

​

We believe that exhibitors deserve a better and easier way to organise their exhibition stands – so we set out to create ExpoCart – the convenient one stop shop platform enabling you to hire and buy all the equipment you need for all major exhibition venues across the UK.

​

We believe in the power of ease and convenience

​

We want to set a new standard as we believe hiring and buying exhibition equipment can be done more easily and quickly online. We want to fix this, not only to help exhibitors save time and money but because we feel the industry owes it to them.

To make this possible, we work with a network of leading exhibition suppliers to deliver the best products at sensible affordable prices, all in one convenient place.

​

​

How it all began

​

ExpoCart was launched in 2015 by co-founders, Ryan and Jasmine, and today serves thousands of exhibitors from 60+ countries around the world.

​

They had previously run businesses together – Emerge Displays was a venture that saw them rent out an innovative digital signage product to exhibitors in the UK (namely the Pixapoint 360), an eye-catching and immersive digital display that was hired into exhibitions in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool.

​

This experience gave them the appetite and insight to launch ExpoCart after they saw the traditional ways of the industry first hand and understood what exhibitors really need and want.
