Celebrating 500 years of Beretta with GMK Ltd at the 2026 British Shooting Show

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of working alongside GMK to help bring their Beretta showcase to life at the 2026 Great British Shooting Show.

Working closely with the GMK team, we delivered a standout exhibition space that celebrated Beretta's incredible 500-year heritage while creating an engaging environment for visitors to explore the product range.

It was brilliant to see the stand packed with visitors throughout the weekend and to play a part in such a significant milestone.

A huge thank you to everyone at GMK for another fantastic collaboration. We always enjoy working together and look forward to the next project.

Day out at the races 🏇

Last month, some of our Henson Franklyn team enjoyed a day out at Market Rasen Racecourse for Ladies Day.

Taking time away from the day-to-day gave everyone the chance to catch up, enjoy each other's company and celebrate the people who make Henson Franklyn what it is.

We're proud of the close-knit team we've built, and opportunities like this are a great way to spend time together, strengthen relationships and enjoy each other's company away from the workplace.

Looking forward to the next one!

Looking back at the LTA - Tennis For Britain HSBC Championships🎾

Earlier this summer, we had the pleasure of working alongside Keith Prowse Hospitality at the HSBC Championships.

Working together from concept through to completion, we delivered the design and build of several interiors, including The View, Love 15, Club Lounge and Roof Garden. Seeing the finished spaces in use throughout the tournament made all the hard work worthwhile.

A huge thank you to the Keith Prowse team for another successful collaboration. We always enjoy working together and look forward to the next opportunity.

One month to go – Defender Burghley Horse Trials 🐎

Preparations are well underway as we get ready to return to Burghley.

We're looking forward to once again delivering the full brand overlay, all sponsor advertising boards, trade stand builds, the Burghley Members' fit-out, and some exciting new areas for 2026.

There's nothing quite like seeing months of planning and preparation come together on site, and we're excited to be part of another fantastic event.

See you there!

We’re proud to have partnered with the University of Lincoln - Careers & Employability team for their 2026 Employer Project.

This year's project challenged students to research and create a marketing plan for Henson Franklyn. Throughout the project, we held weekly check-ins with the students and the University team, offering guidance, answering questions and watching their ideas develop along the way.

We really enjoyed reading the final report and watching the presentation, and we're excited to put some of the students' recommendations into practice.

A huge thank you to all the students who took part, and to everyone at the University of Lincoln for delivering such a fantastic initiative. We're proud to support the next generation of talent and look forward to working together again in the future.

Most event budgets account for materials, logistics and installation.
What they don't always account for is the cost of leaving decisions too late.

Rushed approvals, compressed build schedules and last-minute design changes can create unnecessary pressure across a project.

It's not just about budget, delays can impact efficiency and flexibility – limiting the options available.

The earlier planning starts, the more opportunity there is to explore creative ideas, optimise materials, manage costs and build contingency into the process.

Of course adaptability will always be important, but the strongest events are usually the result of careful preparation rather than last-minute firefighting.

What do you think causes the biggest planning challenges in live events?

One question we often get asked is:
“What’s the difference between event overlay and fit-out?”

While they often work together, they solve different challenges.

Overlay focuses on visibility 👀
It’s how brands, sponsors and event organisers make sure their messaging is seen through signage, graphics, wayfinding and branded environments.

Fit-out focuses on experience ✨
It’s about transforming a space into somewhere people want to spend time, whether that’s a hospitality suite, exhibition environment, pavilion or guest experience.

The most successful events often combine both;
Strong branding helps people notice you.
Thoughtful fit-outs help them remember you.

If you’re planning an event and aren’t sure which approach is right for your objectives, we’re always happy to discuss the benefits of both.

Sometimes sustainability is the small operational decisions behind the scenes that matter too.

Recently, we organised a dedicated WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) collection at our headquarters as part of our ongoing sustainability efforts.

The initiative gave us the opportunity to responsibly recycle outdated equipment, reduce unnecessary waste and encourage our team to bring in their unwanted items from home for recycling.

While event production is what we’re known for, we’re equally committed to reviewing our own processes and finding practical ways to operate more responsibly.

Progress rarely comes from one big change. More often, it’s built through lots of smaller decisions made consistently over time.

It’s all part of our wider sustainability journey as we continue strengthening our environmental practices and working towards further accreditations.

Across June, July and August our team are travelling across the UK and beyond to support all types of event fit-outs, overlays, full-scale builds and more intricate technical set-ups.

Every event brings its own audience, objectives and challenges – this variety is one of the things we enjoy most about our industry.

We’re already enjoying another busy summer on the road - hopefully we’ll see some familiar faces along the way!
