Is sustainability becoming part of better event planning?

In 2026, organisations are increasingly prioritising ways to reduce waste and improve operational efficiency across their event programmes. This shift is also driving improvements in resource use, cost efficiency and long-term planning consistency.

At Henson Franklyn, we integrate sustainability considerations across the full event lifecycle, working with clients to deliver practical, scalable improvements that never compromise on quality. We are also progressing towards ISO accreditation as part of our ongoing commitment.

Our approach focuses on practical improvements that benefit both our clients and the environment:

• Designing reusable event structures and modular stand systems - supporting reuse across multiple events
• Reducing unnecessary single-use material - maintaining quality while improving efficiency
• Improving energy efficiency across operations - without impacting delivery standards
• Working towards more sustainable sourcing and supply chains - where appropriate
• Optimising transport and logistics planning - more efficient and considered event delivery

For any size organisations involved in delivering regular exhibitions, activations or live environments, smarter planning can improve consistency, reduce duplication and support more efficient future builds.

Great events can be delivered more responsibly, without compromising quality or experience.

May is another busy month for our UK build team supporting live event builds, from London and Birmingham to Yorkshire, Windsor and beyond.

Whether it’s world-class sporting events and exhibitions to hospitality environments or live experiences, the focus stays the same: careful planning, reliable delivery and attention to detail.

It’s always great working alongside our clients and partners across such a wide range of events in the UK and global calendar.

Wherever the events are, we are.

Great events happen through established processes and experienced teams.

At Henson Franklyn, our approach has been tested, refined and strengthened over the last three decades in the events industry - delivering consistent, reliable end-to-end outcomes for our clients across the event process.

From defining the brief and design, through to production, installation, fit-out. de-rig and planning for what comes next, every step is structured for a seamless experience. This enables our team to consistently produce exceptional event builds that are both high-quality and within budget across all sectors and event scales.

If you’re planning upcoming events and want a end-to end events partner who keeps things straightforward under pressure with global capabilities, we’d love to talk: hensonfranklyn.co.uk/contact

Creativity is at the heart of everything we do, and for us this means it has to do more than just look good. It has to work.

Every project starts with a question: how should this space perform? From there, we shape ideas into experiences that engage audiences, support brand objectives and deliver real impact.

That might mean designing interactive features that draw people in. Creating bold focal points that stop visitors in their tracks. Or building environments people want to share online - helping extend brand reach far beyond the event itself.

Our creativity doesn’t stop at concepts or design. It’s carried through every stage - from design and materials to build techniques and innovative sustainability features - ensuring the final result is as practical and reliable as it is visually striking.

The best creative ideas are considered, buildable and have a purpose.

Sustainability in events isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s becoming a commercial and operational priority.

For brands delivering multiple events each year, the question is no longer can we be more sustainable, it’s how to be sustainable without increasing cost or complexity?

At Henson Franklyn, we integrate sustainability into the process from the start:

1. Energy efficiency - reducing energy use through smarter technologies and build methods
2. Resource conservation - designing to minimise waste and make better use of materials
3. Sustainable supply chain - working with partners who meet responsible sourcing standards
4. Emissions reduction - improving transport and logistics to lower overall impact

But beyond targets, the real value is practical.

Designing for reuse means fewer rebuilds, less waste and more consistency across your event presence. Materials are stored, reconfigured and adapted - extending their lifecycle and your investment.

We believe it’s a smarter way of working. One that supports your sustainability goals while keeping delivery efficient and cost-effective.

If sustainability is part of your event strategy, we’d love to support it.

Watching the Snooker World Championship 2026?

We’re honoured to have designed & setup up the live environment for the qualifiers.

Different environments demand different thinking;
Tighter footprints
Stricter sightlines
Controlled lighting
Broadcast considerations

From sporting venues to exhibition halls, we adapt how we design and build to make sure every space performs exactly as it needs to.

The Snooker World Championship is a reminder that precision isn’t just part of the game, it’s part of the build too.

Planning something similar? Let’s make it work.

While runners prepare for TCS London Marathon race day, we’re preparing the environment around it.

From first arrival to final interaction, event spaces need to work hard - guiding flow, supporting brands and setting up the atmosphere before the starting line is even crossed.

After meticulous planning and design, our team is on-site this week to build and support the London Marathon Expo - delivering the detail behind the scenes so everything runs exactly as it should.

Good luck to everyone taking part this weekend.

If you’re planning an event where every detail matters, we’re ready when you are.

With the return of C2C Country to Country this month, we’re proud to continue supporting Ariat across their major event calendar.

For established brands operating at scale, event delivery must be predictable, polished and stress-free.

Ariat Europe's Marketing Manager, Melanie Selman, describes it best:

“We always feel fully supported by the team, nothing is ever too much trouble… working with Henson Franklyn has made this a seamless exercise where we just turn up at an agreed time to a completed stand ready for us to dress.”

That level of trust is built over years - through consistency, collaboration and delivering exactly what was promised.

Wherever the events are, we are.

Every event looks seamless when it’s finished.

What you don’t see is the strategic planning, technical coordination and detailed problem-solving behind it.

Complex venue rules.
Compressed build windows.
Multiple stakeholders.

We’re brought in to make those challenges manageable and deliver stands that are not only meticulously executed, but commercially effective.

From first sketch to final fixing, we build with precision, purpose and accountability.

Got a stand problem? Let’s solve it.

26/03/2026

March is one of our busiest months of the year.

From major consumer shows to large-scale sporting events, our team are busy delivering across multiple venues - many for returning clients who trust us to execute at the highest level.

High footfall.
High visibility.
No margin for error.

That’s where our experience matters in delivering event environments that are considered, consistent and commercially smart.

If you’re thinking about 2027 events, now is the time to plan ahead properly.
