STRUCTURES
SUITED TO A TEE
Showplace reports selling out
of structures for June 2018, with
15 different stands at Hillhead
2018 while working at Goodwood

in 5,6,12m modules as well as its

MARKET MOVEMENTS
Elsewhere, Scott Jameson, UK
group managing director, GL
events UK says the company is
working on a new hybrid model
where the business takes on both
the outside infrastructure and
the interior design, cladding
38
and fitting.
“This is an interesting
development and reflects
a number of trends in
infrastructure procurement.
The first is a move by customers
towards working with one larger
company, with an integrated
solution, rather than a number
of disparate companies across a
major event activation. This also
reflects a wider need for a more
stable, but also smaller, supply
chain that is easy to manage.
For us, it shows a growing
confidence both in our business
and our ability to offer additional
creative services.”
GL secured new and extended
agreements with The Jockey
Club, Ryder Cup (pic below),
The Open and European
Championships for Glasgow
2018, and many more.
A spate of recent and
upcoming projects
reveal the innovation and
creativity in the temporary
