Hughes Bespoke, which produces precision-crafted events, stands and spaces for global brands, has returned to MPE, where they were originally, having grown by 320% since 2020.

Initially taking a 7,500 sq ft industrial unit earlier this year, the business has now more than doubled its space to 15,900 sq ft and created six new jobs. This year it expects to double its space again, with 109 events already planned, compared to 69 delivered last year.
