 GL events UK has strengthened its growing Seating and Stadia team with the appointment of Simon Wake in the role of Stadia Business Development Manager.

 

 

 

 Simon, who joins GL events from Alderdale Seating, has previous experience in permanent seating roles at Arena Stadia Seating and Ferco.

 

 

 

  It is a great opportunity for me to join GL events and I look forward to utilising my experience to drive the stadia business forward in the UK, and grow it to become a market leader in this sector.

 

Simon Wake

Stadia Business Development Manager

 

 

 

 

  Over the last ten years, our Stadia team has developed an impressive track record of stadium project delivery for clients including Watford FC, Barnet FC, Exeter FC, and most recently, Plymouth Argyle FC – and we look forward to our continued expansion.

Added to this, we have undertaken significant R&D in the last 18 months and have a strong portfolio of new products to bring to the Stadia market including Raptor, our safe standing rail seat offering, and our new portable modular stand, amongst others. We are confident of significant growth and excited to have Simon working alongside the rest of the team to help bring our entire offering to the market in 2021, and beyond.

CEO of GL events UK
