During the pandemic many businesses, including those in our District, are diversifying and adapting their services to suit new requirements.

R H Displays and Exhibitions in Sleaford is one of these. Before Coronavirus struck, the business specialised in creating bespoke environments for exhibitions, events and interiors.

Since the spread of the virus, it has adapted its offer and is currently providing clients with office and retail Covid-19 protection such as desk screens, moveable full height protection screens, reception and sales desk protection screens and sanitising stations.

Leader of North Kesteven District Council, Councillor Richard Wright, said: “The effects of coronavirus have been tough on businesses across our District, including those in non-essential retail which may soon be able to reopen and those in our service and hospitality industries which are still required to remain closed.

“It’s heartening to see companies including R H Displays and Exhibitions in Sleaford using their design and manufacturing know-how to create solutions, such as screens and sanitising stations, which can enable these businesses to make the appropriate preparations to protect staff, customers and suppliers.”
Recently R H Displays and Exhibitions has installed solutions at Interflora in Sleaford, and has secured an order to supply to Dexter & Sharpe Accountants which has several offices across Lincolnshire.

There are two main types of solutions the business can provide. One main type is solutions in different configurations and fitting methods for discreet but essential screening in office environments, for example, and the other is protective screen solutions to help retailers and businesses make the preparations needed to reopen safely with social distancing measures in place.

North Kesteven District Council’s BusinessNK team provided advice to R H Displays and Exhibitions on applying for grant funding – guidance the team is offering to all businesses eligible for funding help – and the Council granted three month’s half rent relief under support for business tenants.
