Pixelhouse Group in the UK has acquired Aztec Event Services Ltd (Aztec), a leading UK and European Audio-Visual supplier, as part of its growth and technical development strategy.

Established in 1989, Aztec is a leading technical production/AV company, renowned for delivering world class creative audiovisual production services to event organisers, venues and corporate events. The business has an outstanding reputation for delivering a consistently high-quality service to its established client base.

Located in Chessington, London and Barcelona, Spain, Aztec has 57 employees and generated sales of £9.7m in the year ending 31 December 2024 across the UK and Europe.

Aztec will join DBpixelhouse and Gravit8 in offering a comprehensive package of expertise, creative technical production and digital services to Exhibition Organisers, Corporates and Venues across the UK and Europe, retaining its existing Aztec Identity, whilst becoming part of the Pixelhouse Group of companies. In joining Pixelhouse Group, Aztec will enhance the Group’s production capabilities and complex event delivery across Europe, while providing substantial benefits for both organisations in relation to geographic coverage, extended inventory and additional scale of the combined group, providing our customers a wider offering.

John Robson, Managing Director of Aztec commented:

“These are very exciting times for Aztec. Becoming part of the Pixelhouse Group marks an exciting new chapter for Aztec. We’ve built a strong reputation for delivering exceptional technical event solutions, and joining forces with DBpixelhouse will allow us to expand our reach and enhance our service offerings. Their innovative approach and commitment to excellence align perfectly with our own values and we’re confident that this partnership will create significant opportunities for growth and development.

For our customers, by combining our expertise and resources, we will be able to provide an even more comprehensive range of event technology and technical production services. We look forward to a successful and prosperous future as part of the Pixelhouse Group family.”

Aztec will report into James Barnett, CEO of Pixelhouse Group, who commented: “Aztec is a very exciting new member of our Pixelhouse Group family. It further enhances Pixelhouse Group’s capabilities in delivering innovative audio visual and IT solutions and provides a significant presence in the UK and Europe. It adds further capabilities and expertise to our Group and creates immediate opportunities for us all.

“This is not just a coming together of three businesses in terms of their products and services, but also of businesses with a passion, parallel culture and the very highest levels of customer service and event excellence. A huge thank you also goes to our investors WestBridge for their continued support in bringing this acquisition to completion.”

Both businesses would like to express their sincere gratitude to David Bulley, the Non-Exec Director of Pixelhouse Group who founded the DBpixelhouse business in 1994 for his vision and dedication that have taken the business to this point. Mark Quartermaine, Chairman will oversee the integration and business development. John Robson, Managing Director of Aztec, along with the Aztec Senior Management Team, will all remain in their current roles.
