Exhibition Stands, Set-Builds, Permanent Installations
Built to be seen.
Built to last.
Exhibition stands, set builds and permanent installation across Brighton, London and the UK.
We’re a Brighton-based fabrication and build team working across the UK.
Founded by Josh, smith+jakes delivers high-quality exhibition stands, set builds and permanent installations for agencies, brands and production teams who need things built properly and on time.
We don’t overcomplicate it.
We don’t outsource everything.
We build it, install it and make sure it works.
Exhibition Stands
Custom-built, custom-fit exhibition stands that make passers-by stop and say hello.
From neat 3×3 builds to custom-sized modular stands with meeting rooms, lightboxes, peg walls, display panels and integrated lighting – we handle fabrication, transport, install and breakdown.
We’re regulars at major venues including NEC Birmingham, ExCeL London, Business Design Centre and Brighton Dome.
If you’re investing in an event, your stand needs to earn its space.
Built to be seen. Built to perform.
Set Building
We create scenes and new worlds – from simple backdrops to full scenic environments.
Our team builds sets for exhibitions, festivals, live stage, photoshoots and broadcast. Projects have included TEDxBrighton, Brighton Ballet School, Interior Design Masters, The Repair Shop and the BBC Introducing Stage at The Great Escape Festival.
Structural, scenic, branded – delivered safely and on schedule.
From concept to construction.
Permanent Installations
Permanent interiors or pop-up builds for retail, exhibitions and events.
From custom-made bars and coffee counters to branded environments and display units, we fabricate high-quality installations built for real use — not just photos.
If you’ve had a coffee or a wine at London Coffee Week, Wilderness Festival or a pop-up space somewhere in the UK, you may well have been leaning on one of our builds.
Brighton-based. Working across London and the UK.
You brief it. We build it.
