Whichever format your show gives you, we handle the practical bit: design, supply, build and breakdown, on time and on budget, under one contract.
Prefer to talk it through? Call 024 7692 0102 or email instead.
One contractor for both formats, so you're never juggling separate suppliers depending on what your show allocates you. Whether you've been given a shell scheme space or booked space-only, the questions are the same: what's included, what do you need to add, and who's building it. We answer those below, then handle the delivery either way.
Most shows offer one or both. Here's what each means for you, and what ONCO adds.
Walls, fascia and basic lighting, already up when you arrive. It's the quicker, more cost-effective route: you add what makes it yours.
A bare patch of floor and a free hand. It costs more and needs a longer lead time, but the stand is entirely yours, designed and built to brief.
The same four-stage process, whichever format you're working with.
Order as much or as little as your format calls for, all through the same team.
Printed panels, signage and wraps that make a shell scheme, or a bespoke build, unmistakably yours.
Socket outlets, lighting and additional power for your stand, ordered in advance or added on-site.
Tables, chairs, counters and storage from our full range, delivered and set up ready to use.
Standard or bespoke colour changes, laid and finished before you arrive.
For space-only builds: visuals and a transparent quote before anything is built.
One point of contact for questions and changes, from build morning to breakdown.
“We utilised ONCO for the first time in November 2024, and from start to finish, they were exceptional. The service and materials were excellent, and we look forward to collaborating with them again this year for the Asian-Jewish Business Network Annual Flagship event on the 17th of November.”

Shell scheme gives you walls, fascia and basic lighting supplied by the organiser as a starting point, ready for you to add graphics, furniture and electrics. Space-only is a blank floor space: you, or ONCO on your behalf, design and build the entire structure from scratch.
If you want a straightforward, cost-effective presence and your organiser offers shell scheme, that's usually the simpler route. If you want a fully bespoke, branded stand that stands out, space-only gives you that freedom, at a higher cost and with more lead time.
Yes. Most exhibitors only need to add graphics, extra electrics, furniture or a carpet upgrade to their allocated shell scheme, and that's a quick order through us.
Yes, end to end: a design proposal, the build itself, an on-site team for the show, and breakdown afterwards, all through one contract and one project lead.
As soon as you know your format and stand size. Space-only builds need longer lead times for design and sign-off; shell scheme add-ons can often be turned around closer to the show, but earlier is always easier.
Tell us your stand size and format, and we'll tell you exactly what it takes: no guesswork, no surprise costs. No pressure, no hard sell, just a conversation.
