Nottingham Trent Case Study
SD Displays have worked with Nottingham Trent University's Student Union (NTSU) for three years running now, having built up a solid relationship providing poster boards for their freshers fair every year.
As a reputable UK university with over 26,000 students, Nottingham Trent is constantly looking to attract and accommodate passionate, proactive and dedicated students. Freshers fair is a huge part of keeping student satisfaction up, and as a top 15 UK university in this area (The Complete University Guide 2019), this is particularly important to them. SD Displays serve to make freshers fair as professional and inspiring as possible, through providing the poster boards for each and every stand.
"We know exactly what to expect and they never disappoint. Their service is exactly what it says on the tin!”
NTSU House Services Manager, Colin Hutchinson, had become increasingly frustrated with the company that supplied their poster boards over the last few years, due to excessive extra charges being demanded after the boards had been returned. He then found SD Displays through our website and decided to get in touch. Since then he has been more than satisfied by the SD Displays work ethic and efficiency in delivering good value and quality poster board.
“SD Displays are a major improvement over the previous company we used. They are efficient and easy to work with, saving us a huge amount of time and energy. Prior to the event their communication is clear, prompt and organised - we know exactly what to expect and they never disappoint. Their service is exactly what it says on the tin!”
- Colin Hutchinson
With the boards arriving exactly when expected, and picked up promptly after the event, the staff could concentrate on organising the event co-ordination with no disruptions. Although SD Displays offer the service to design, organise and set-up exhibitions and displays, the arrangement with NTSU is just to provide and pick up the boards. One advantage Colin highlighted was the ease of erecting the displays, compared to previous poster board hires.
“The boards are much lighter than what we were used to, so it is a lot easier to transport them around, which is essential when trying to organise such a large event. Fitting together the boards is also much easier than other systems we have used before - it is quick and simple to arrange the boards as required.”

The professional look that the boards bring to the event create a much more inspiring and buzzing atmosphere. Banners, posters and graphics are pinned to the boards, bringing together each stand individually, making the room colourful, eye-catching and exciting. This is what makes the freshers fair so much more successful and uplifting, giving students, both stall holders and freshers, the best experience possible.
