Scott Jameson Group managing director, GL events UK said: “It’s great to be working with another major sporting event. This partnership means we can deliver excellence across the event – the best possible service along with the very best quality temporary infrastructure, delivered by an experienced and collaborative team.

“GL events UK was national supplier of temporary structures for last year’s IAAF and IPC World Championships, and 2017 was a very strong year for our golfing partnerships, too. It’s good to be looking forward to another superb event.”

“GL events UK has a proven record as part of GL events Field & Lawn Ltd., the partners having successfully delivered event infrastructure as Official Overlay and Temporary Structures Provider for the Commonwealth Games, held in Glasgow in 2014.”
