Eighteen Years of Making It Happen: Taylex Group Turns 18

Taylex Group is celebrating 18 years at the heart of the live events, exhibitions, and brand experience world. From our humble beginnings in 2002 as a stand contractor to becoming a full-service creative production powerhouse, it’s been quite the journey—and we’re just getting started.

Over nearly two decades, we’ve expanded globally, welcomed incredible new talent, launched exciting new brands, and earned the trust of world-class clients. But one thing’s never changed: our unwavering focus on understanding our clients, solving their challenges, and delivering experiences that bring their vision to life.

As we raise a glass to 18 years of “making it happen,” here’s a look at some of the milestones that have defined our journey so far:

Powering Growth with Our People

Behind every project is a team and ours is second to none. Over the years, we’ve strengthened our leadership team with experienced, passionate professionals. With appointments spanning Chief Commercial Officer, Head of Operations, New Business Directors, and Chief Financial Officer roles, we’ve built a leadership team with over 30 years of combined expertise in events and exhibitions across regional and international markets.

But it’s not just about titles, it’s about talent. Our people-first approach ensures we have the right expertise in place to keep delivering outstanding results for our clients, time and time again.

Adding Creative Signage & Graphics to our services

We saw an opportunity to enhance our offering, and we went for it. Our acquisition of Taylex Signs & Graphics means we can now deliver cutting-edge signage and graphic design as part of our end-to-end services.

From design and consultation to print, production, and seamless installation, our signage division works with everyone—from prestigious hotel groups and major theme parks to global automotive brands and world-renowned events. Whether it’s a high-profile international project or a local independent business, our passionate team delivers with the same care and creativity.

Expanding into Digital with Angry Apple

The world is digital and so are we. The addition of Angry Apple Media to the Taylex family marked an exciting leap into the world of performance-driven digital marketing and lead generation.

Now, alongside delivering world-class exhibitions and events, we can help our clients drive awareness, engagement, and leads online. It’s a powerful combination, creative production meets data-driven marketing, all under one roof.

 

Onsite Support with Expo Supplies

Based right at the NEC, Expo Supplies has been a game-changer for contractors, event managers, and organisers alike. Whether you need tools, materials, or last-minute essentials during your build, our onsite store in Hall 3 has you covered.

It’s all part of our commitment to offering hassle-free, end-to-end exhibition and event solutions.

 

Bringing Events to Life with Taylex Live

Our Taylex Live division is where creativity meets technical expertise. From immersive corporate events to large-scale brand experiences, Taylex Live specialises in turning ideas into extraordinary live moments.

We’ve delivered everything from gala dinners and award ceremonies to conferences and branded activations. A recent highlight? A large-scale conference and awards event for BUPA that brought Dental Health to life in spectacular fashion.

A New Brand Identity

We’ve evolved—and so has our brand. Today, Taylex Group stands proud as a creative solutions production company delivering everything from custom-built exhibition stands to live event production, interiors, retail fitouts, and beyond.

Our refreshed visual identity reflects who we’ve become: bold, creative, solutions-focused and driven by the same passion for excellence that’s been with us since day one.

 

Celebrating Industry Recognition

It’s always nice to be recognised and over the years, Taylex Group has been proud to earn accolades across some of the industry’s biggest platforms:

  • Fast Growth Index: Named the fastest-growing Midlands B2B business
  • Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce: Shortlisted for Manufacturer of the Year & International Business of the Year
  • ESSA Awards: Celebrating excellence in the events and exhibitions industry
  • Exhibition News Awards: Finalists for Best Venue Partner, Tech Innovation of the Year, and Best Visitor Engagement Tool

One standout project? Building the first-ever double-deck stand for Kawasaki at Motorcycle Live using the innovative beMatrix modular structure. And at BETT 2023, our collaboration with Toucan Exhibitions saw us deliver a show-stopping, tech-packed, double-deck stand for ASUS UK complete with AV, LEDs, and natural design elements.

Karl Clark, CEO of Taylex Group, said:

“Eighteen years ago, Taylex was built on simple foundations work hard, deliver for your clients, and surround yourself with the right people. Looking back, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come not just in scale, but in the relationships, the expertise, and the reputation we’ve earned along the way. I’m proud of the projects we’ve delivered, but I’m even prouder of the team we’ve built across the UK, Europe, and now the Middle East. Their dedication and passion are what make this business what it is today.

Growing internationally, launching new divisions, evolving our brand these things don’t happen by chance. They happen because of the trust our clients place in us, the talent of our people, and the belief that no matter the challenge, we’ll make it happen. That belief is what’s driven me every day as CEO. But we’re not done yet our next chapter is just getting started.”

What’s Next?

Eighteen years in and we’re just warming up. With our incredible team, expanding services, global partnerships, and relentless passion for making it happen, Taylex Group is ready to take on the next chapter. 

To our clients, partners, and team members—thank you for being part of the journey. Here’s to the next 18 years of creativity, collaboration, and delivering unforgettable experiences.
