As a listed building with strict health and safety regulations, the Science Museum has rigorous controls regarding the use of external suppliers. Only companies on the preferred suppliers list can work in the building. Paul Hutton, managing director of Blitz, explains: "Achieving 'preferred supplier' status at venues as prestigious and popular as the Science Museum should be a business objective for any AV rental and staging company. It speaks volumes about the reputation and capability of Blitz that we have won this tender. It opens up a new area of the market and allows us to continue to work with our production company customers in an environment which was previously closed to us."
Victoria Grossmith, event operations manager at the Science Museum, commented: "We were impressed by the standard of service Blitz offers its customers. Our corporate and private events facilities have an excellent reputation for quality as well as offering a huge diversity of settings and subject matter. We need to know that all of our suppliers can meet our high standards and the challenges which can be part of working in such a unique venue."
