VM and Display show wrap-up

The 2026 Visual Merchandising and Display Show took place in April; it was a great opportunity to see innovative ideas and emerging trends in retail. Our team had a fantastic day meeting familiar faces, potential clients and fellow suppliers!

This year’s stand showcased a range of our mannequins, displayed on stunning plinths in a contrasting pink and blue theme. The back wall focused on the breadth of our product offering, from ready-to-use display products, shop-fittings and consumables to the more bespoke possibilities; detailing how we can tailor our products to suit your branding vision. This was also a chance to bring a selection of our new products and to show how Morplan plans to enable exciting retail design in 2026!
