GL EVENTS OWEN BROWN SIGN FURTHER THREE YEAR CONTRACT WITH ASCOT RACECOURSE

International temporary structure specialists GL events Owen Brown have recently agreed a three year contractual increase to supply structures for the Royal Ascot race meeting, which takes place annually each June.

Owen Brown have shared a long and thriving history with Ascot Racecourse,  providing structures for all of the major areas at the prestigious race meeting for over 10 years, one of the largest annual temporary structure contracts in the UK.

Alex Robertson, Managing Director GL events Owen Brown commented: “As the popularity of the race meeting has increased year on year, the relationship that we have built with Ascot has grown also.” He continued: “For over a decade, we have worked with Ascot to provide bespoke structures that maximise space and capacity but do not compromise quality or guest experience.”

In 2001, Owen Brown replaced the Double Decker structure that they had provided for the racecourse previously, with a new Triple Decker structure, providing several luxury hospitality suites that increased capacity at the event by 30 percent. 

Five years later, following Ascot’s £200 million refurbishment in 2006, Owen Brown constructed several new stands, the focal point of these being a naturally lit internal galleria, complete with innovative lightweight parasol roof structure designed to reflect the natural tree lining in which the racecourse is set.

Owen Brown have already experienced a prosperous start to 2008, with the agreement of several new contracts and the anticipated launch of their innovative “Eclipse” structure, their first to feature a curved roof.
