GL events Owen Brown is one of the most respected names in the UK event industry. Innovation in technology is supplemented by a commitment to customer service and quality. In 2006 we were awarded the Royal Warrant from Her Majesty the Queen, for providing structures to the Royal Palaces.

Established in 1913, GL events Owen Brown has provided marquees and temporary structures to some of the most high profile events in Europe.

We were the first company to use PVC, rather than traditional canvas, and we pioneered the use of aluminium framed structures in the UK – all very common now, but ground breaking at the time.

These technological advances continue to this day, with unique structures such as our semi-permanent ‘Evolution’ structure. Over the next 18 months we will be launching new and exciting structures that will again change how people view what is possible with temporary structures.
