Exhibition Stand Designers Helping Creativity

Manchester-based exhibition stand designers Astro Exhibitions have come up with an innovative way of using their surplus building materials: donating them to a local high school for use in design and technology lessons.
Exhibition stand designers Astro Exhibitions are using their left-over building materials to help the community. Students at New Mills School Business and Enterprise College in High Peak, will now be able to undertake more varied and challenging projects thanks to the donations of plywood and perspex.
With this initiative, Astro Exhibitions are killing two birds with one stone. Workshop Manager Mark Canale, who came up with the idea comments: “Giving away our offcuts helps in two ways, we can recycle our waste and the school benefits from free materials”.
In the ten years since it was founded, Astro Exhibitions has built exhibition stands for some of the world’s largest companies, for events at prestigious venues all around the UK. Their portfolio of clients includes global companies such as Siemens, Casio Electronics and Shell.
New Mills School has been a Business and Enterprise College since 2005 and draws students from the nearby areas of New Mills, Hague Bar, Thornsett, Furness Vale, Newtown and Hayfield. It caters for around 750 students between the ages of 11 - 18.
The head teacher of New Mills, Jesse Elms, has written a letter to Astro Exhibitions, expressing his gratitude and thanks for the donation. For the school, not only does the initiative allow students to undertake more challenging projects, but it also reduces costs.
This is not the first time that Astro Exhibitions have donated their left-over building materials to the community. In the winter, local people are welcome to visit the site and pick up left-over wood for their log fires, or have Astro Exhibitions deliver it to their houses.
