Aztec kick starts its 10th anniversary with the launch of their new Exhibitor shop
Ten years ago this month, John Robson led a management buyout and established Aztec Event Services. As a supplier of AV equipment to the event and exhibitions industry Aztec has been at the forefront of developing technologies ever since.
Launching a new ecommerce site therefore seems like a fitting way to celebrate the company’s 10th birthday. www.shop.aztecuk.com is aimed at Exhibitors where Aztec are the official AV supplier which last year was over 250 shows across the UK and Europe. The site delivers a simple yet professional experience for exhibitor clients wishing to order screens, IT and office equipment or PA systems for their stands.
“The design of the site is clean and intuitive offering a familiar user experience. Price promotions and savings are also easy to understand so exhibitors can see exactly what they are paying for without any hidden extras at checkout.” comments Piers Kelly, Operations Director at Reed Exhibitions Ltd, who took part in the usability test during the site build.
This is an important point for Robson too,
“The gap between B2C and B2B is narrowing and the way businesses order online needs to be as seamless as it is for consumers. Our new site makes ordering with us easier and means our sales team can concentrate on talking to exhibitors who are still deciding on what they need and may require more guidance over the phone”.
“It is very exciting to be launching this site at the start of our ten year celebrations. It is a clear sign that Aztec continues to lead the way, putting the needs of its clients first. We take our role as official supplier at an exhibition very seriously and believe our new site will support the professionalism of the event and help provide the best service to exhibitors.”

On Thursday 18th June some of our team were sailing at the second edition of Reed Exhibitions Supplier Regatta in Southampton.
Companies who supply Reed’s shows participated in the races, manning ten boats in total. Great fun was had by all and the Aztec team did a pretty well, finishing in 5th place! Congratulations to our friends at Freeman who were the winners of the day.
The event was an opportunity to spend some time with all the people who work on Reed Exhibitions throughout the year. Based on a campsite near Southampton we enjoyed meeting and catching up with our industry colleagues for two nights full of fun.

Event Supplier, Aztec Event Services has announced that it has just secured the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 9001 certificate. The company has spent the last 18 months working towards its first ISO which involved having its working practices independently audited by AJA Registrars Ltd.
ISO9001 is an internationally recognised standard which establishes processes to ensure quality and consistency of product / service as well as continuous improvement. In gaining ISO 9001 Aztec has provided evidence that client’s requirements are being fully understood and proper proposals created that are technically accurate and functional. Useable metrics are also acquired to analyse performance and identify areas for improvement.
Although these structures and standards have always been at the heart of Aztec’s own service offering, the official and independent ISO certification allows Aztec to quickly assess if they have the capacity and capability to take on and successfully deliver any tender. The identifiable ISO logo will allow new clients to immediately recognise Aztec as a trusted and professional company.
Steve Colesell, Aztec’s Operations Director, talked with pride about the company’s achievement “Aztec already has a strong reputation as a trusted supplier that goes the extra mile. This certification is proof to new clients as well as existing ones that you have chosen the best when you choose Aztec. We have the experts in place but also the infrastructure and process management to deliver what we promise.”
Having gained ISO9001 certification, the company will now turn its attention to IS14001 certification, which it intends to achieve by autumn 2015, and OSHAS18001 during spring 2016.
Aztec has been named finalist for all three categories entered for in the 2015 Exhibition News Awards
-Best use of Event Technology
-Best Supplier to Organisers
-Chloe Retter as Best Service Support Provider
The 9th annual Exhibition News Awards will take place on Friday 10th April, 2015 at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, London.
In addition, Emirates Stadium, where Aztec is the in-house AV supplier, has also been shortlisted in the Best Venue under 10,000sqm category.
