GH Display announces death of its founder

Exhibition stand builder, GH Display, has announced the death of its founder, Graham Hodson.

Hodson started GH Display in 1976 from his garden shed, growing the company into a large team of 2D and 3D designers, print technicians, exhibition stand builders, and installers.

The company was purchased by husband and wife, John and Jenny Hodson, the son and daughter-in-law of Graham, in 2013.

The company now operates from a 30,000sq ft workshop and print facility in Cambridgeshire.

In a tribute to Hodson, GH Display says: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our company founder, Graham Hodson, also known as Curly.

“Graham was truly one of a kind and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing, loving, and working alongside him. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he will be remembered for his kindness, warmth, and generosity.”

Speaking about Hodson’s character, GH Display adds: “A passionate rugby player, sailor, and golfer, Graham shone as a charismatic designer and entrepreneur.

“He approached both his personal and professional life with sharp intellect, creativity, and a wicked sense of humour, never taking himself too seriously. We will miss you forever.”
