Our Journey

Plinths and Pedestals was founded in 1997 by David Richardson, who began building display plinths from a small workshop in Washington, West Sussex.

In 2012, David was joined by Paul Turner, an experienced French Polisher whose craftsmanship and attention to detail helped shape the business into what it is today.

Together, they expanded the product range, invested in new manufacturing equipment and, in 2015, moved to larger premises in Plumpton. Since then, the business has continued to grow, introducing ecommerce, expanding into bespoke display solutions, lighting and acrylic display cases, while continually refining our manufacturing processes.

Today, we have a talented team who combine traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create display solutions for clients across the UK and beyond.

A Team That Loves What They Do

Behind every display is a team of talented people who genuinely enjoy what they do.

From design and fabrication through to spray finishing and delivery, we work together to solve problems, overcome challenges and create displays that exceed our clients' expectations.

And yes... there's usually music playing somewhere in the workshop.

Oliver keeps everyone guessing with an eclectic playlist, Jade and Deryn are partial to an 80s singalong in the office, Paul insists UB40 Fridays are non-negotiable, while Ed and Richard keep the machine shop going with Absolute Radio and plenty of conversation.

It's these little things that make Plinths and Pedestals more than just a workshop. They make it a great place to work and a great team to work with.

Meet Lenny 🐾

Every good workshop has someone keeping an eye on things.

Ours just happens to have four legs.

Our Values

Cutomer Service

We believe great customer service is just as important as a great product. From your first enquiry through to delivery, we're here to offer advice, answer questions and help you find the right display solution.

Quality

Every display stand, plinth and display case is manufactured with precision and carefully checked before leaving our workshop. We're proud of the quality we produce and never compromise on the finish.

Innovation

As our customers' ideas have evolved, so have we. From integrated lighting and acrylic display cases to complex bespoke builds, we're always looking for new ways to create displays that stand out.

Sustainability

Looking after the environment has always been important to us. We use water-based paints and adhesives wherever possible, recycle materials throughout the workshop, repurpose old plinths into new products and continue investing in greener ways of working, including solar panels, LED lighting and rechargeable equipment.
