I run Boardsy, a UK business that supplies bespoke, brandable LED displays and lighting to events, exhibitions, hotels, bars and retail brands worldwide. Think glowing lightboxes, branded table centres, illuminated bar furniture and statement lamps, all personalised with a client’s logo or design.

I’ve supplied branded LED products for teams at adidas, Pepsi, British Airways, Virgin Money and Cadbury, so I can speak to what actually makes a brand stand out on an exhibition floor or behind a bar, not just the theory.

I built Boardsy myself and grew it into a brand that now ships worldwide, so I’m as comfortable talking about the marketing and growth side as the product side.

Topics I can bring real, specific stories to:

• How brands win attention at trade shows and exhibitions
• Branded lighting and display for hospitality, retail and venues
• Weddings and events: making decor that photographs well
• Scaling a UK ecommerce business from the ground up
• Practical SEO and content that compounds for a small brand

I’m a relaxed, no-waffle guest who turns up prepared, brings concrete examples and real numbers, and keeps it useful for your audience. Happy to tailor the angle to your show and to share the episode with my own audience afterwards.
