The Cutting Room is the bespoke POS and display division of A.A. Taylor Limited — a Brighton-based fabrication workshop combining decades of joinery, CNC engineering, plastic fabrication and print under one roof. We work across acrylic, timber, cardboard and printed media, which lets us build complete displays — not just the plastic parts — from a single supplier.
We are a UK-based POS display manufacturer specialising in the design, prototyping and production of bespoke point of sale displays, retail fixtures, sweet bins, glorifiers, museum cases, machine guards, menu holders and precision-cut parts. Operating from our facility in Brighton, East Sussex, we serve clients across the United Kingdom — from independent retailers and museum curators through to national supermarket buyers, brand managers and design agencies running multi-site rollouts.
What sets The Cutting Room apart from most UK fabricators is the combination of an instant online acrylic cutting quote tool with a full bespoke manufacturing capability. Many of our competitors do one or the other — we do both, in the same workshop, with the same materials, the same machines and the same craftspeople. Whether you need a single laser-cut prototype delivered next week or 5,000 branded counter display units rolling out across a national retail estate, the same team handles the job from quote through to dispatch.
Most of our work comes through repeat customers and referrals. The reasons we hear most often: speed (instant online quotes, 5-day express production where required); flexibility (genuine willingness to take on low-volume prototype runs of 10–50 units that larger factories decline); transparent pricing (our online tool shows the build-up of material and cutting costs in real time); and end-to-end capability (we cut, fabricate, finish, brand, pack and despatch every job in-house rather than outsourcing stages to third parties). For design agencies, the appeal is having a UK partner that operates discreetly behind the scenes — we ship branded to your end client, sign NDAs as standard, and never compete for your accounts.
The workshop in Brighton houses CNC routers, laser cutters, diamond polishing equipment, flame polishers, screen-printing capability, digital UV print stations, thermoforming equipment and full assembly bays. We stock a comprehensive range of acrylic, polycarbonate, PETG, Dibond, foamex and mirrored sheet in thicknesses from 2mm to 25mm, alongside MDF, plywood and hardwoods for timber displays and plinths, and printed correx, foamboard and cardboard for retail and exhibition work. Because we cut timber, fabricate plastic and print in-house, we can combine all three into a single finished display — an acrylic-fronted unit on a timber base with full-colour printed graphics, for example — without subcontracting a single stage.
In-store POS displays, glorifiers, dump bins and seasonal merchandising units.
Shopfitters and exhibition builders wanting a reliable white-label trade supplier.
Display cases, vitrines and protective enclosures for valuable artefacts.
Machine guards, sneeze screens, leaflet and menu holders for daily operational use.
A.A. Taylor Limited has been fabricating, cutting and finishing for UK clients for decades. Acrylic POS is what we built The Cutting Room to specialise in.
Every category below is manufactured to bespoke specification in acrylic, timber, cardboard or printed media — or a combination. Standard ranges are available but most clients commission units sized, branded and engineered for a specific product, brand or campaign.
Compact acrylic displays designed for checkout counters, till points and impulse-purchase zones. Manufactured in clear, opal or coloured acrylic with optional branded headers, dividers and locked compartments.
Floor-standing acrylic POS displays for aisle ends, supermarket promotional zones and high-traffic retail areas. Engineered for stability under heavy product load and supplied flat-packed or pre-assembled.
Premium hero displays designed to elevate a single SKU. Common in cosmetics, fragrance, electronics and luxury goods. Combining clear, mirrored and frosted acrylic with internal LED illumination where required.
Bespoke food-safe acrylic sweet bins, scoop dispensers and pick-and-mix displays for confectionery shops, cinemas, supermarkets and event venues. Hinged lids, drop-fronts and stainless steel scoops available.
Bespoke acrylic museum cases, pedestal vitrines and protective enclosures for galleries, heritage sites and exhibitions. UV-resistant acrylic, lockable bases and seamless bonded construction available.
Clear acrylic and polycarbonate machine safety guards, sneeze screens and protective enclosures. Specified for industrial equipment, laboratories, food production and customer-facing service environments.
Acrylic menu holders, table cards, drinks menus and tent cards for restaurants, pubs, cafes and hotels. T-shape, L-shape, double-sided and bespoke shapes with optional business card pockets.
Wall-mounted and countertop acrylic leaflet holders for hospitals, GP surgeries, dental practices, estate agents and information points. A4, A5, DL and bespoke pocket sizes manufactured to order.
Printed dump bins and impulse-purchase displays for supermarket clearance, end-of-line promotions and high-volume merchandising. Cardboard, acrylic and hybrid construction options.
CNC-machined timber displays, plinths, risers and shopfitting components in MDF, plywood, hardwood and veneer. Drawing on A.A. Taylor’s joinery heritage for premium retail and exhibition fixtures.
Free-standing display units, standees and counter units in printed cardboard, foamboard and correx. Cost-effective for short-run promotions, product launches and exhibition stands.
In-house digital UV, screen and vinyl printing applied directly to acrylic, Dibond, foamex and timber, or as appliqué graphics. Full-colour branding without outsourcing a single stage.

Not sure which material is right for your project? Our team can recommend based on weight, impact resistance, optical clarity, indoor or outdoor use, fire-rating requirements, food-contact compliance and budget. Because we cut acrylic, machine timber and print in-house, we can mix materials within a single display — a printed cardboard FSDU with an acrylic product tray, or a timber plinth with a printed graphic header. Material selection is included free with every bespoke quote — just describe what the unit needs to do and we’ll specify the right substrate.
Our acrylic POS displays, retail fixtures and bespoke fabrication services are used across virtually every retail and commercial sector in the UK.
If you are a creative agency, brand consultancy, retail design studio, shopfitter or exhibition stand builder, The Cutting Room operates as a discreet, NDA-bound manufacturing partner behind your client work.
We ship branded to your end client. No Cutting Room labels, no contact card in the box, no follow-up to your client. The unit appears to come from you.
Dedicated point of contact, formal quotes, signed NDAs as standard, and full project tracking from sign-off through to delivery.
Preferential trade rates, volume tiering, and visibility on the build-up of material and labour costs so your margin is protected and predictable.
We turn your sketches, mood boards or InDesign artwork into engineered CAD drawings and physical prototypes for client sign-off.
Scale from a single prototype to a 5,000-unit estate rollout without changing supplier. Same team, same workshop, same quality at every volume.
Pick, pack, label and ship direct to your client’s stores, distribution centres or retail head office. Pallet networks and palletised loads for large rollouts.
Setting up a trade account takes a single conversation. Once you’re onboarded, briefs can come in through your normal channels — PDF, sketch, photo of a competitor unit, or full CAD drawings — and we’ll come back with a formal quote and lead time within 24 hours. We currently work with agencies across London, Brighton, Manchester, Birmingham and the South East, and ship to end clients UK-wide.
Everything is manufactured in our Brighton workshop and shipped nationwide. Pallet networks handle high-volume retail rollouts, tracked courier covers smaller batches, and local collection is available from Sussex.
