2007 in a nutshell
December 2007

The end of 2007 heralded a year of major growth and expansion for GLD. Investment in a new range of hospitality and site furniture along with the acquisition of larger premises and scaled-up operational team has supported the company’s shift of business into the corporate hospitality market with high profiles events including the major golf championships at St Andrews and Wentworth, the UK leg of the Red Bull Air Race, the Concert for Diana and the Live Earth climate concert.

2007 also saw the team involved in the launch of Eurostar at the £800m refurbished St Pancras International by HM Queen and the Naming Ceremony of Britain’s newest luxury liner, Queen Victoria by the Duchess of Cornwall.
