Shell Scheme Stands

This year shell scheme stands will be provided by Full Circle. They will be constructed from Quad Fronted Octanorm with a white frame fitted with white, Foamex wall panels. This is a different system from that used previously so wall panel sizes have altered. Click here for further information and panel sizes. Please note that it is necessary to position support posts at least every 4 meters on open sides and/or central points of larger shell scheme stands.

Up to 17 sqm

• Blue and white fascia nameboard to include your company name and stand number

Shell Scheme panels should be treated carefully to avoid damage. Please note, the wall panels are a different size from previous years. Click here for further information and the Dos and Don’ts of attaching items. Advice should be sought from Full Circle for mounting heavy materials as special battens or infills may be needed. No items are to be fixed to or suspended from the fascia or celling grid as this could affect the structural integrity of the stand. 

Shell scheme stands are provided with a grey carpet. If you would like a different coloured carpet, or other floor covering, for your stand an order can be placed with Full Circle. Please see the Portal / Contact Details section below. 

All shell scheme stands come with 1 x 500w socket and 2 x spotlights per 9sqm. For any additional electrical requirements please contact Full Circle.

The electricity network should generally be regarded as being "live". The voltage is, however, usually disconnected 30 minutes after closing and connected 30 minutes before opening. If an electricity supply is required at other times, for night-time operation or during build-up or breakdown, please contact Full Circle.   

For guidance on what a 500w socket can be used for please see below. For an accurate measure of the wattage required by the appliance in question, please refer to the associated manual, contact the relevant manufacturer or contact Full Circle for advice. 

All shell scheme stands are provided with a nameboard to include their company name and stand number. Any exhibitor who has not completed the Nameboard order form by 16 May will automatically be provided with their company name as stated on the exhibition contract.
Any amendments to the fascia nameboard after 16 May will be charged to the exhibitor.
