SD Displays have worked with Nottingham Trent University's Student Union (NTSU) for many years, having built up a solid relationship providing poster boards for their freshers fair every year.
As a reputable UK university with over 40,000 students, Nottingham Trent are constantly looking to attract and accommodate passionate, proactive and dedicated students. The Freshers Fair is a huge part of welcoming students to life on campus and showcasing the many clubs and activities on offer.
As a top university in the area of student welfare (The Complete University Guide 2025), this is particularly important to them. SD Displays serve to make the Freshers Fair as professional and inspiring as possible, through providing the poster boards and layout for the event.
"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 previous company that supplied their poster boards, 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 service and efficiency in delivering good value and quality poster board hire.
“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!”

With the boards arriving exactly when expected, and picked up promptly after the event, the staff can concentrate on organising the event co-ordination with no disruptions. 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 creates 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.
