Here at XL Displays, we pride ourselves on the journey we have taken over the last eight years. We are a family- run business that was founded back in 2010 by our Director, Joanne Bass, and operate in the heart of Peterborough.
Joanne started XL Displays when her first son was only six months old. She has since had three more children and had continued to grow and build the business in extraordinary ways alongside her husband Matthew.
We are now a multi-award business supplying exhibition and marketing solutions for the world’s biggest brands including the likes of Rolls Royce, BBC, Virgin Atlantic, ITV, Twitter, Amazon and Sky.
Our dedication to ensuring excellence in customer service is ingrained throughout the business and emanates through our highly trained staff. We utilise the independent review site Trustpilot to monitor our customer satisfaction levels and we are proud to say that we currently have a rating of 9,8 out of 10 with over 9000 genuine customer reviews.
We design and produce all our core portable exhibition stands at our 28.000sqft head offices in Peterborough. This allows us to have full control over the manufacturing process, implement strict quality controls and test-build products to ensure our customers receive the very best.
The hard work and sheer tenacity of our director, Joanne Bass, has been recognised nationally through having received multiple awards including The Peterborough Women Leader Female Entrepreneur Award and The Natwest Every Women Athena Award – the UK’s most prestigious award for female enterprise.
Joanne inspires all staff members here at XL Displays, and with her mentoring along with her high level of staff training and expert managerial guidance – we have been able to excel as a business. Our efforts have been recognised nationally and as a result, we have attained a variety of prestigious awards that we are extremely proud of.
Through teamwork and commitment, we are honoured to have received The Peterborough Business of the Year Award 2014 and 2015 and Customer Service of the Year Award 2015.
