GL events fuels outstanding summer of motorsport events

GL events UK has supplied temporary structures across Goodwood Festival of Speed since its inception in 2003. As long-term, contracted partners, we enjoy a fantastic relationship with the team at Goodwood. Our role is to install the fundamental event infrastructure – nearly 6,000sqm of temporary infrastructure around which our client creates the festival, innovating and creating new concepts every year.

With lots of activity on site, and tight build and clear times to deliver, preservation of the beautiful estate is essential. Our success is down to experience, collaboration and communication; not only with the client, but with all suppliers on site. The strength of our relationships means that GL events can ensure smooth, timely and sensitive operations on behalf of our partners.

As you’d expect with such a long-standing partnership, significant challenges are extremely rare. Every year, we enjoy the opportunity to support the development of premium visitor experience and, for 2019, our solution included upgraded venues, re-designed configurations, and enhanced general public facilities in a collaboration that was well received by all involved.

Every year we build on the quality of experience and hospitality delivered, so we can surpass the expectations of our spectators. To do this, we need strong buy-in from our partners, asking them to push the levels of quality and innovation. GL events are no exception and we’ve enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership. It’s great that we’ve secured an agreement to keep F1 coming back to Silverstone until 2024. A large part of this is our ability to create an outstanding experience for spectators, sponsors, and teams. It’s something we do exceptionally well and we’re looking forward to pushing things forward again next year and beyond.
