60 seconds with GH Display

Graham Hodson (aka Curly) started what was then called Graham Hodson Design in 1974 from his garden shed.

Starting out with sign writing and progressing onto exhibition displays, the operation, team and client base continued to grow. In 2013, Graham’s son John and his wife Jenny took over the reins and continued its growth.
