"GL events installed a double deck marquee at the British Grand Prix. This fantastic structure exceeded my expectations and greatly enhanced our members' day. I was very impressed by the quality of the product and speed of the build, not to mention the dramatic positive effect it had upon everyone's enjoyment of the race."
