We are delighted to announce our specialists in tension fabric displays and structure company is growing with the acquisition of JNM Exhibitions.
Our success within the events industry alongside a rapid growth strategy has allowed the company to explore the options of acquisition to strengthen its offerings across multiple markets. The exhibition industry has been highlighted as an area of growth and opportunity with JNM Exhibitions being viewed as a smart and strategic investment.
Who Are JNM Exhibitions
JNM Exhibitions, based in Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, is an International Exhibition Contractor working across multiple industries specialising in Exhibition and Pavillion Design and Build, Shell Scheme Hire and Visitor Centre Fit Out.
Alison Bainbridge, managing director of JNM Exhibitions, commented on the sale:
“It feels like the right time for myself and & Scotty (Paul Scott) to step back from the exhibition world and retire after over 30 incredible years, but it was a decision we didn’t want to take without finding the right team to pass the JNM Baton to. I’m delighted and confident to say that we found the right people at Grafit, a highly experienced innovative display company that specialises in tension fabric structures, their creative and dynamic team can help grow JNM and take the business forward to another level.“
What does it mean for our clients?
Simply put, we have more capability to help deliver your structural needs and continue to evolve our offerings for the better. JNM now joins a larger organisation group, consisting of Grafit Display Hire, a specialist in events & displays, and Envision Media, a large-format print company. The result is a group that can handle all elements of events and displays internally, across the UK and Internationally. Director Andy Phillips commented on the recent takeover:
“Originally we started Grafit to service the events industry, due to the versatility of our product range we naturally started to pick up Exhibition enquiries which allowed us to adapt our offering. Exhibitions is a key growth area for us, so by acquiring JNM it not only strengthens our offering but we inherit an amazing staff pool with great industry knowledge and the ability to service international enquiries with ease.”
The takeover sees owners Alison Bainbridge and Paul Scott continue their roles during a handover period of 6 - 12 months before retiring, a decision to ensure seamless migration of both companies for the staff and customers. Take a look at a recent installation we worked closely with JNM to produce.
