About this business
A Manchester exhibition business designing and building custom stands for trade shows, conferences and brand events at venues around the UK and in Europe. It employs 16 designers, project managers and installers, with a leased office in the city centre. Since 2022 turnover has stayed close to £2.5m, while EBITDA has risen each year, from £420k to £479k, a margin of about 19%. The asking price of £2.6m reflects that profit. Production could be moved, so a buyer could combine it with their own workshop or keep it in Manchester.
