This significant expansion reflects the company's rapid growth and increased demand for its services in the exhibition industry.
Originally based in one workshop in Coventry, Vertex quickly expanded to its Redditch HQ by the end of 2022. Both locations, strategically placed in the Midlands, allow Vertex to cater to clients throughout the UK, Europe, and beyond. The new unit will allow the business to expand its beMatrix rental range for the trade in the Midlands, especially with the NEC just around the corner.
Co-partner Ross Wardle commented, “We have just undergone a major rebranding exercise to capitalise on the impact we are having in the exhibition industry, at the same time as our growing workload led us to look for additional production and storage facilities. We see ourselves as bringing something new and exciting to the industry, even something a bit edgy in terms of our approach and design. As well as designing and making bespoke stands for clients taking part in exhibitions and trade shows, we also offer the beMatrix modular system."
Wardle continued, “It enables us to combine style and impact with speed and a more cost-effective approach for some clients. We have also launched a Vertex rental arm as well as relaunching our website - www.wearevertex.co.uk – to reflect our maverick approach. As a result, we are winning even more work with clients in the UK and across Europe. We are creating exhibition stands in Paris, Athens, and Amsterdam, as well as working with a range of customers preparing for this summer’s Farnborough Air Show, in the next couple of months alone. Our newly-expanded HQ in Redditch, along with our workshop in Coventry, gives us the ability to handle even more work as our impact on the exhibitions industry continues to pay dividends.”
Vertex launched at the beginning of 2022 after Ross Wardle and Lewis Walters identified a gap in the exhibition supplier market, as the events industry began to recover post-Covid.
Today, Vertex consists of over 30 event professionals, all with a wealth of experience and knowledge in the industry and their craft - from carpentry, joinery, electrical, builders, painting and decorating, to AV. Vertex also continues to recruit many of the people who previously lost their jobs after Covid forced the cancellation of most exhibitions and trade shows.
