A Message from Our MD, Mark

"I started CBE with a simple goal: to make exhibition experiences better—not just for visitors, but for the people behind the brand. Too often, I saw businesses let down by poor communication, cookie-cutter designs, or last-minute headaches. I knew we could do better."

"From day one, I wanted CBE to be a business that felt personal. That’s why we keep everything in-house, stay hands-on with every project, and treat our clients like partners. We’re still a family-run company, and I’m still here day-to-day—leading the team, walking the workshop floor, and making sure every stand we deliver is something we’re proud to put our name on."

"We’re not just building stands. We’re building trust, one project at a time."

– Mark, Managing Director

Sustainability at CBE

At CBE, we believe that building for the future means being responsible with the present. Sustainability isn’t an add‑on — it’s woven through everything we do, from material choices to manufacturing methods.

Responsible sourcing

All our wood is supplied by trusted sources like Hanson Plywood, whose environmental policy emphasises sustainable forest products, renewable natural resources, and legally‑verified timber. Their commitment includes third‑party certifications (FSC®, PEFC, FLEGT) and a certified chain of custody so we know the materials we use support healthy forests and ethical trade.

Reusable, modular design

We design stands and interiors that can be reused, reconfigured, or repurposed. This reduces waste, minimises material consumption, and gives you more value over time without compromising on visual impact or quality.

In‑house production to reduce emissions

From joinery and printing to graphics and install, everything is done in‑house. This reduces transportation between multiple suppliers and helps us monitor energy use and resource efficiency at every stage.

Reducing carbon footprint & operational waste

We track and manage emissions across our operations, from energy usage to delivery. Inspired by suppliers like Hanson Plywood, who report on solar power generation, electric vehicles in their fleet, and high levels of operational recycling (86% of waste recycled in their 2024 operations).

Certifications & continuous improvement

We strive for environmental standards and certifications. As our business grows, we look for ways to improve: better materials, smarter production, and more sustainable energy usage. Our partners set a strong example, by being certified to ISO 14001, measuring carbon footprints, and implementing electric and renewable energy solutions.
