Meet the Fundies. 🏆
Every year, Christian dusts off his Office-inspired best and hosts our Annual Fundies Awards—a prestigious celebration of [totally ridiculous] workplace achievements.
This year’s categories included such coveted honours as:
🚗 Drivings Not For Everyone (Winner: Doug. For accidentally missing a weigh bridge)
🔊 Noisiest (Winner: Stephanie. For her loud, exasperated sighs)
📦 Unfortunate Errors (Winner: Shallyn. For regularly ordering her personal orders to work [most notably: an actual bath], and work related orders to her home)
Any many more.
It’s all in good fun, of course—but it’s also a perfect reflection of who we are.
At Grand Stand Events, we’re not just about creating exceptional exhibition stands; we’re about building a team, and a workplace, that people genuinely want to show up to.
We work hard, but we know how to have fun.

That’s a Wrap on 2024! 🎉
As we get ready to wrap up the working year and enjoy the Silly Season with our loved ones, we thought we would take a look at the year in review. And what a year it’s been for Grand Stand Events! From incredible events to behind-the-scenes action, new team members, team bonding, and epic on-site builds, 2024 has been nothing short of extraordinary.
This year, we’ve worked hard, laughed (even) harder, and delivered amazing results for our wonderful clients across the country. Whether it was creating unique exhibition stands, smashing deadlines, or sharing moments that made us proud, every project and every memory has been part of what makes GSE special.
A massive thank you to our incredible team, clients, and supporters for being part of the journey this year. We couldn’t do it without you!
2025? We are *SO* ready for you.

Eco Floor | Sustainable Events | Go Green With Grand Stand Events
Did you know traditional MDF flooring used in events often ends up in landfills after just one use? Not only that, but it’s heavy, non-recyclable, and harmful to the environment.
That’s why we switched to Eco-Flooring — a sustainable, 100% recyclable alternative that’s lightweight, durable, and designed for multiple uses. Plus, it supports customisable finishes like reusable carpet tiles and vinyl flooring.
✅ Better for the planet
✅ Easy to transport and install
✅ Durable for repeated events
Say goodbye to waste and hello to smarter, greener events.
Ready to go green? We’re here to help. Contact us today!

Designed for flexibility and durability, our reusable aluminium hire framing allows us to create custom stands tailored to your brand while reducing environmental impact.
In today’s fast-paced world of exhibitions and trade shows, making a strong impression is essential. But with rising costs and growing concerns about sustainability, how do you balance standout design with eco-friendly practices? The solution: Reusable modular framing.
Custom stands don’t have to mean single-use builds. With modular systems, you can design a bespoke, branded stand that can be reconfigured and reused for different events—without compromising on quality, style, or sustainability.

Come decorate our GSE-Tree with us!
This week, the team have been busy getting into the Christmas Spirit. The presents you see under our tree? All gathered by the GSE elves and being donated to Kmart Australia Wishing Tree Appeal. And our office donations are still being collected until end of next week! [ Honestly - I love this team so much 😭]
A big thank you to our clever Steph for our BOWtiful tree topper - handmade with love - from our GSE packing tape! 🤭
Who needs a star when we have a Grand Stand bow!?
With Colin and Jasmine on site Monday, and final touches completed the next morning, our client’s stand has officially been in action at the 2024 ASFA Conference held at the International Convention Centre Sydney - ICC Sydney !
Proudly working with TAL since 2016, we have seen their stand designs evolve each year. This time, a few standout features were introduced, including a new, sleek, herringbone vinyl flooring pattern. The space reflected connection - designed to start conversations and encourage reflection while the bookshelf displayed TAL’s “Whitepapers” - hero publications for members and partners, a source of information and knowledge - with impact.
The team summed it up best: “This looks AWESOME!”
Thank you for trusting us, again, to bring your vision to life. We hope you had a successful event! 👏

From render....to reality! 🚚✨
Watch as Volvo’s double-storey stand comes to life. In collaboration with Flare Creative, we transformed their vision into a 765m² immersive experience.
A mezzanine lounge featuring a barista bar up top, and Volvo’s trucks taking center stage below, this stand was designed for connection and impact.

At Grand Stand Events, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’ve proudly partnered with PanelCycle , a leading force in recycling PVC and aluminium composite (ACM) panels, to ensure our exhibition stands not only stand out but also leave a positive environmental impact.
Through this partnership, we’ve already repurposed over 7 tonnes of materials in 2024 alone, keeping valuable resources out of landfills and contributing to a circular economy. From custom-printed panels to back-of-stand materials, we’re committed to reusing these essential components across multiple projects, extending their life cycle before final recycling.
Our relationship with Panel Cycle is a key part of our ongoing mission to reduce waste in the exhibition industry. Together, we’re creating sustainable solutions that not only look fantastic but are also eco-friendly and resource-conscious.
At Grand Stand Events, we’re proud to lead the way with innovative practices that help us, our clients, and the planet. 🌍✨

What are our chances? 😏🫢😂
We had the pleasure of collaborating with Transport for NSW at the 2024 NSW Easter Show, bringing road safety education to life in a fun, interactive, and engaging way!
The stand won “Best Custom Stand” in the Home & Lifestyle Pavilion, filled with interactive games, eco-friendly materials, and digital experiences like the virtual bicycle game and touch screen metro tables.
From magnetic wall games to a spin-the-wheel activation, we designed a space that captivated both kids and adults while promoting vital road safety practices.
We are thrilled to have helped Transport for NSW create a memorable, immersive experience that inspired safer streets for all! 🌿💡
