Bosch Thermotechnology - International Builders' Show

Project: Bosch Thermotechnology Exhibition Stands

Location: The AHR Expo 2010, Orlando & The International Builders’ Show (IBS) 2010, Las Vegas, USA

Scope: Custom design, build and install exhibition display solutions for Bosch Thermotechnology in North America for The International Builders’ Show (IBS) and The AHR Expo, both of which took place in January 2010.

The custom displays were designed to exhibit specific products and graphics relating to four divisions of the Bosch Group: FHP, Boilers, Solar and Tankless.

Illuminated aluminium framed plinths were used to highlight the products and display them in the best possible light.

Additionally larger illuminated units were used to differentiate between the diverse brands, which also provided additional hidden storage.

Freestanding structural display units were designed with flexibility in mind, for easily interchangeable graphics and wall-mounted equipment.

These sturdy display units also included literature pockets and angled dispenser shelves and retained their sleek appearance with subtle cable management for all lighting and power requirements.

Touch-screen multimedia display kiosks with striking wave aluminium profiles were positioned around the stand as product information points, with lockable casters for optional mobility.

Large illuminated signage was positioned in the centre of the exhibition stand, which was clearly visible from a distance, in order to attract visitors to the stand.

Some displays were made to display working products, including one which combined two heat pumps; one heated water pumped through an under floor heating system, and the other used as an air conditioner.

BAA London Heathrow Terminals

Project: BAA/Emirates - Heathrow Terminals

Location: London, England

Scope: Design, build and install a display solution for screening the World Cup 2010 matches in Heathrow Airport terminals.

Design five freestanding 60″ screen stands, sponsored by Emirates, for showing the World Cup 2010 matches during June and July in each of the airport terminals.

It was imperative that the screen stands were delivered to the highest specification to meet the rigorous airport requirements; in terms of aesthetics, safety and stability.

The displays needed to be robust and sturdy enough to withstand the busy airport environment, but not look out of place in the contemporary surroundings of the airport terminals.

World Cup 2010 Screen Stands - Heathrow

In order to meet with the strict safety and security requirements, the units had to be completely fireproof, with no void compartments and no removable fixings. The custom designed screen stands had secure tamper-proof hidden fixings and were delivered as entirely assembled stand-alone units for added security.

The freestanding screen stands were manufactured with interchangeable aluminium panelling and vinyl graphics that can be re-branded, allowing BAA to sell advertising space on the units and re-use them for future events. The display units have the possibility of being double-sided; with both screens and graphics able to be displayed on each side of the stands, so they can be used for ensuring
they are future-proof and great value for money.

ImageHolders were able to turnaround the screen stands in three weeks - from custom designing, building and delivering the complete units to fulfil the client’s visual brief. All engineering was completed in-house by the ImageHolders team, to match the the required design, producing display stands that were fit for purpose, reusable and of a quality that was suitable for an airport environment.

BAA London Heathrow Terminal 5

Project: BAA/HSBC - Heathrow Terminal 5

Location: London, England

Scope: Design a display for A6 sized “Welcome to London Guides” sponsored by HSBC, for visitors to take as they pass along the walkway on arriving at Heathrow airport.

It was imperative that the dispenser stands were delivered to the highest specification to meet the rigorous airport requirements; in terms of aesthetics, safety and stability. The displays needed to be robust and sturdy enough for the busy airport environment, but not look out of place in the contemporary, stylish new Terminal 5 building.

In order to meet with the strict safety requirements, the units had to be completely fireproof, with no void compartments and no removable fixings. The custom designed dispenser stands had secured non-removable end-caps, tamper-proof, and hidden fixings and were delivered as stand-alone units for added safety.

In total 37 units were delivered to Heathrow Terminal 5.

The dispensers were custom built to hold enough guides that they would only need to be restocked once a week. The shelves were designed so that the guides would remain clearly visible, kept neat and tidy and could be easily taken by visitors as they pass by.

The simple, slim and sleek aluminium dispenser stands with bold graphic headers allow the guides to be easily visible from a distance, while the stands remain unobtrusive in the busy airport walkway. The dispenser shelves are positioned at heights that are suitable for all ages and abilities to encourage all visitors to pick them up.

Since the ImageHolders stands have been in Terminal 5, the pick-up rate for the Welcome to London Guides has increased by 30%.

Browns Fashion

Project: Browns Fashion

Location: London, England

Scope: Create a customised solution for Browns existing clothes rails, to ensure that the clothes were displayed front-facing.

Custom brackets were designed to match the existing clothes rails in only a few days turnaround. The bespoke brackets were entirely versatile, easy to fit onto the existing rails and simply removed when required. Also adjustable custom-made clips were designed to display header cards above the clothing.

Bespoke Card Holders for Browns Fashion 40th Anniversary Event

Browns is one of London’s most valued fashion landmarks, since its creation as a small boutique in 1970, it continues to offer the ultimate shopping experience.

On 12th May 2010, Browns hosted their 40th Anniversary event at the Regent Lofts and Penthouses, which also holds the ‘Browns: 40 Years of Fashion Innovation’ exhibition, showcasing fashion innovation in London over the last four decades.

To ensure they had the very best displays for this prestigious event, Browns contacted ImageHolders to design and deliver customised graphics holders for labelling the different designer mannequins.

The claw card holders were designed with a custom white gloss finish to coordinate with the white mannequins and stood on plinths, for a simple yet stylish display solution, which did not detract from the stunning designer clothes.

The card holders were not only sturdy, holding the labels securely in place, but they also ensured the labels could be easily changed when required and the displays themselves could be reused time and time again.

The ImageHolders philosophy is that investing in training to up-skill our workforce will result in even better high quality service to our customers.

Hence ImageHolders is taking a more strategic approach to training and development to encourage a learning culture in all divisions within the company:

• manufacturing,
• warehouse and shipping
• customer services and administration
• sales and marketing
• custom display design and R&D

ImageHolders’ employees are encouraged to take responsibility for their own Continuing Professional Development by attending seminars and industry events, distance learning and evening classes where appropriate.

Adrian Thompson, MD and founder of ImageHolders says:

“Making the Skills Pledge has formalised and focussed our staff training procedures,

leading to significant  improvement in recruitment and retention among new and existing staff”.

The Skills Pledge

The Skills Pledge, which is run through Business Link, is a voluntary public commitment from employers to encourage and support their employees to improve their skills and gain qualifications. The aim is to ensure that all employees have the necessary skills and competence so they can make a full contribution to the success of their organisation .At the heart of the Skills Pledge is a commitment to help those employees who need to gain skills to at least a level 2 in literacy, numeracy and other relevant qualifications such as NVQs.

Further information on the Skills Pledge can be found on the Business Link website. See  http://wkww.inourhands.lsc.gov.uk/

Customer Service:

When you call ImageHolders, the phone is answered promptly by a real person, not an automated call system that keeps you on hold forever or an impersonal voice mail system. ImageHolders does not use external call centres based in remote locations either. We believe the in-house staff who deal with our customers should be not only friendly and efficient but also knowledgeable about our display furniture

Products are demonstrated in the warehouse training centre so all our employees are totally familiar with their features, uses and assembly if applicable. Our customer service specialists can handle routine enquiries about delivery, freight, invoicing etc. For more complex queries, ImageHolders customer service office has a direct line to all departments who can provide the right answer to your questions.

Product design and Innovation

ImageHolders was founded by product designers not businessmen, so our products are continually evolving. By constantly refining our designs and manufacturing process, we have managed to cut costs progressively by 20% for three consecutive years…and passed these cost savings on to our customers. Many ImageHolders products are now a third of the price they were five years ago.

Fully stocked warehouse

Stocking levels of the entire ImageHolders product range are closely monitored to ensure that our items are rarely, if ever, “out of stock”. More than 600 of our most popular standard display systems products are available for immediate dispatch and the entire product range of over 1500 items can be sent out within 5 working days. Bulk orders and custom exhibition stands take a little longer, depending on what level of customisation is required. Rest assured we will always work towards your deadline.

Efficient Shipping Department

If your in-stock order is placed by 3:00 p.m. GMT it gets shipped within 24 hours. Our team of pickers and packers is available all day long, ready to dispatch your order for display furniture, counter top unit, literature stands, etc. ImageHolders operates a seamless order placement process, with orders being sent directly to the shipping department for maximum speed and efficiency. We implement smart production models and have ISO9001 quality standard. We also impose strict quality control on the packaging and optimization of your shipment:
Consolidating two or more different types of display units into one box to save on shipping costs

Making sure the thinner boxes are “double boxed” and fragile items well packed to minimise the possibility of damage in transit

Calculating comparative costs such as whether to ship your numerous boxes individually by courier or combine them onto a pallet for delivery by truck (or container shipment if overseas)

Deliver items directly to your conference centre, trade show, retail outlets or branch locations, saving you from incurring double delivery costs.
