If you have booked a shell scheme stand there are a couple of key points to keep in mind when planning your stand:

1. It is not possible to remove your fascia nameboards

2. It is permitted to have a bespoke fascia nameboard but this must be ordered, printed and installed by the official contractor, Freeman. Bespoke fascia’s are not included in the standard shell scheme package.

3. It is not possible to exceed the height of the shell scheme with any element of your stand- 2.41m

4. If you appoint a stand contractor other than Freeman to decorate your stand they must submit a design and health and safety forms for review and approval.
