GL Events Slick Seating has won a four-year contract with The R&A. The deal will see the company provide more than 17,000 seats to this year’s Open Championship at Muirfield.

“In golfing terms [contracts] don’t come any bigger,” Slick Seating managing director, Scott Hayward, said. “We are really looking forward to working closely with the client to deliver world class stands for spectators to enjoy the drama on the course.”
