UK - Gallowglass Ltd, one of the UK's leading suppliers of crew and modular staging for the events market, has extended its hire division to include temporary grandstand seating. "We are always looking for ways to develop our business and open up new avenues for our core operations. The new seating division will help to boost our summer trade and give us an even greater presence in the outdoor events market," said managing director Paul Grecian. He continues: "We do not see ourselves as becoming a large outdoor event supplier. We will be looking to supply the smaller, niche markets with seating solutions. If we can supplement these contracts with additional crew and staging opportunities - then all the better."

Gallowglass' clients over the past five years have included the likes of BBC Radio 1, M2002 Commonwealth Games, Bloomberg, BP, and most of the FTSE 100. Operations director Nick Grecian told us: "It's logical to extend our hire division where the template for a gold-standard service and quality is already established. The seating and staging appeal to both the corporate and outdoor events arenas. Our logistical infrastructure and ability to deliver professional and efficient solutions will adopt the seating comfortably."

To help them develop this side of the business, Gallowglass has recruited Jonathan Smith, previously of Arena and JMS Management. Nick Grecian adds: "We have known and worked with Jonathan for some years now and have always had an excellent working relationship. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and 21 years' experience of the seating market - who better to help us?"
