The entire event was built using the beMatrix modular system, and every graphic we delivered was produced specifically for tension fabric frames – from wall-to-wall installations to glowing product showcases.

We printed everything on high-performance material supplied by the legends at  UFabrik – whose innovation and consistency play a massive role in our ability to print at this level. Big thanks to their team for always delivering the goods.

On site, our very own Mat Jephcott, Jo Worton, and Faye Ganderton were there to oversee install and connect with industry peers. They didn’t just represent the Monster – they helped cement why this partnership works: because we know the product inside out, and we bring serious energy to every brief.

And now to the part that everyone was talking about: neon printing.

Neon wasn’t just a visual flourish – it was a conversation starter. A head-turner. A reason to stop, take a photo, and say “Wow, who did this?“

Our high-impact neon prints weren’t just bright – they were precise. We used advanced fluorescent ink techniques to create bold colourways that absolutely exploded under lightbox conditions. From glowing entry visuals to immersive walls and stand features, the neon work delivered real atmosphere and serious engagement.

We had comments flying all day:

“That neon wall is unreal.”
“We need that for our next show.”
“Best graphics I’ve seen at any event this year.”

Job done.

For those not yet familiar, UKREiiF (The UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum) has fast become the can’t-miss date in the calendar for anyone serious about shaping the future of UK cities.

Over 12,000 public and private sector professionals are descending on Leeds to connect, collaborate, and get deals done. We’re talking investors, developers, local authorities, masterplanners, architects, and everyone in between.

But while the event covers everything from net zero to housing strategy, one thing is clear: if your project doesn’t stand out visually – it won’t stand a chance.

And that’s where we come in.

At Hollywood Monster, we believe signage isn’t just a legal requirement. It’s a statement of intent.
It tells your story long before the doors open.

From construction hoardings that spark curiosity to building wraps that turn scaffolding into showstoppers, we help brands – and places – get seen, remembered, and talked about.

Need proof? Take a look at our property and construction solutions:

• Property & Construction Sector
• High-impact Hoardings
• Show-stopping Building Wraps

Whether you’re marketing a new development, rebranding a commercial site, or launching a build-to-rent scheme, your visuals matter more than ever. They drive footfall, attract investors, and shape public perception from day one.

And in the race to stand out at events like UKREiiF – and beyond – a killer wrap or branded hoarding might just be your most powerful marketing tool.

Hollywood Monster, a leading wide format print specialist based in Birmingham, is proud to announce its partnership with beMatrix, the leading frame system for easy and sustainable event building.

From February, Hollywood Monster customers will be able to benefit from the stand building system which combines all the benefits of a modular system with the flexibility of custom-made solutions.

Suitable for temporary constructions such as exhibition stands, congress walls, indoor and outdoor events and pop-ups, Hollywood Monster is offering print solutions for this innovative system. One single kit frame system can be configured into a multitude of stand concepts, making it cost effective and minimising waste. Plus, when combined with Hollywood Monster’s striking print finishes, it can create bold and memorable designs.

The partnership has seen Hollywood Monster make significant investment into its Birmingham site, including cutting-edge technology with the acquisition of a state-of-the-art Silicone Edge Automated Stitching (SEAS) machine. As an approved beMatrix supplier, the new machine will support beMatrix customers, as one its key features is that it seamlessly attaches SEG Keder to fabric panels, which can be used on a range of beMatrix frames and displays.

Commenting on the partnership Simon McKenzie, CEO at Hollywood Monster, says: “We’re very excited to become a beMatrix approved supplier, providing added versatility and design options to our customers, as well as promoting sustainable construction, particularly within the exhibition environment, which has struggled in previous years due to the ‘build and burn’

approach. beMatrix is an ideal partner for Hollywood Monster, as sustainability is a top priority on its agenda, as it is on ours. Its system is completely reusable, and the modular approach provides 360 configurations, meaning that one frame can be used a floor, ceiling, and wall.

“This partnership is a statement of our ambition at Hollywood Monster and the potential we see for future growth in the events market. By working with forward thinking products and companies we hope to elevate the design options and reduce environmental impact.”

Alongside partners Clean Air and Hollywood Monster, commercial fleet graphics specialist RGVA is launching an ingenious sustainability solution for its Traxx trailer framing system – a new specialist coating capable of ‘cleaning’ the air of pollutants.

A major step forward for the transport and logistics industry, the ISO certified product developed by Clean Air, is a clear, spray-on coating activated by sunlight. Primarily targeting harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollutants, a single trailer fitted with Traxx banners can negate the impact of 2,555 average vehicle journeys per year.

Mike Freely, Director of Clean Air, says: “We have been working as part of a joint venture with Resysten, the company that created the original advanced antimicrobial surface coating. Together, we have developed that technology over a number of years into an atmospheric pollutant remover.

“The premise of the system is simple, the combination of a trailer’s large surface area and the distances it travels gives the Clean Air spray plenty of opportunities to work its magic. Breaking down airborne pollutants simply by passing through them, we’re able to help businesses as they strive to cut emissions and improve sustainability.”

The Clean Air spray’s core ingredient – titanium dioxide – is a photocatalyst that uses sunlight to break down NOx particles it comes into contact with into harmless nitrogen, oxygen and nitrates, dispersing them back into the environment.

Currently only available through RGVA’s innovative Traxx banner system, Clean Air has been ISO 22197-1 accredited with a NOx decomposition rate of 0.222g per m² per day. With 64m² on a standard 13.6m trailer, a treated Traxx system will come into contact with 12,800m³ of air per day, ‘cleaning’ 5.42kg of NOx per year, equivalent to 1.62 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Kieran McCabe, Managing Director of RGVA, says: “We’ve been working on this project for some time and it’s incredibly exciting to be launching it to the transport industry. The science behind the Clean Air product is well established, and through RGVA and Hollywood Monster’s graphics expertise, we’re able to deliver a sustainability solution that can really make a difference.”

Printing of the Traxx banners and the application of the spray is carried out by the expert team at signage company Hollywood Monster. Using an electric static gun, the spray is applied at the company’s purified, climate-controlled facility. Incredibly safe and non-toxic, the process requires no more than the standard PPE used with any other spray product.

Simon McKenzie, Chief Executive Officer for Hollywood Monster, says: “This product has the ability to make a big impact at a negligible cost. With looming net zero deadlines, we want to remove the barriers for companies trying to find ways to reduce their emissions.”

Recently awarded 3M Select Platinum Partner status, RGVA consistently sits at the forefront of vehicle graphics solutions.

Hollywood Monster, a leading wide format print specialist based in Birmingham, is proud to announce a significant investment in cutting-edge technology with the acquisition of a state-of-the-art Silicone Edge Automated Stitching (SEAS) machine.

The SEAS machine represents a significant advancement in the field of SEG Keder sewing, offering three levels of automation designed to optimise operational productivity and meet the varied needs of print specialists.

In response to the ever-expanding utilisation of Tension Fabrics with SEG Keder in the market, Hollywood Monster has invested in the SEAS machine to elevate productivity and enhance quality. And as a beMatrix approved supplier, the new investment will support Bematrix customers, as one of the highlights of this machine is that it seamlessly attaches SEG Keder to fabric panels, which can be attached to a range of frames and displays.

Simon McKenzie, CEO at Hollywood Monster, explains; “The introduction of our SEAS system demonstrates our commitment to the growth and development of our business, as well as delivering the best possible service to our customers. We have paid close attention to their required print solutions, and it was clear that we could expand our offering within tension fabrics.

“We hope this move will underscore our dedication to staying at the forefront of the industry, offering cutting-edge solutions that transform the way large format print projects are executed.”

This latest SEAS model incorporates 4.0 functionality, promising to revolutionise SEG finishing departments, facilitating production tracking and enhancing overall efficiency. With remarkable precision, it automatically joins large format panels, creating extra-large panels with accuracy and quality. It is also engineered to be user-friendly, without any need for specialist training, meaning any member of the existing Hollywood Monster team can operate it.

To further facilitate the handling and alignment of heavy and oversized display textiles, Hollywood Monster has also invested in the Extension Table. This innovative addition allows users to incorporate one or two Extension Tables, providing a length of 7 to 10 meters. Equipped with levelling castors wheels, this flexible solution can be swiftly moved around the factory floor, catering to the needs of the production process.
