Gallowglass - Event Supplier Of The Year

UK - Gallowglass, generally regarded as the number one events supplier for crew and modular staging, have confirmed their status by winning the CEA Awards Event Supplier of the Year 2003. Paul Grecian, managing director of Gallowglass said: "When I was first involved in the event industry, eleven or twelve years ago, I was appalled at the way crews in general were treated (perhaps justifiably in those days) and was determined that if we were going to remain here, we had to start to change peoples perceptions and generate some respect for the impact a great crew could have on any show. The awards last week bore testimony to the fact that we have succeeded to a large extent, although we know we have to continue to push the boundaries back. Nevertheless, my colleagues and I are absolutely delighted".

Gallowglass used a variety of case studies to illustrate their versatility and performance. These included the launches of Siemens Xelibri and Vauxhalls Meriva and Signum cars, The BP AGM and the HBoS Christmas party. Operations director, Nick Grecian added, "Whilst we enjoy regular praise from clients, it is fantastic to receive these awards. We are genuinely proud of the work that we do and the reputation we have earned. On top of this, we were also awarded the Victor Ludorum Trophy for the Best of the Best. It came completely out of the blue and stunned everyone at our table sending us off on a big night of celebration!"

Gallowglass has crewing bases in London, Leeds, Loughborough, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
