The venue setup included the installation of lounges, kitchens, and suspended ceilings. This event was referred to as the “best Olympic regatta ever” by the president of the rowing federation.
At the Exhibition Centre London (ExCeL) for the Olympics, GES UK delivered the full temporary overlay of the entire venue including specialist services such as electrical mains and distribution, installation of over 800 rigging points, retail units, acoustic and sports walling, custom structures and drapes.

GES UK supplied and laid over 145,000 sq ft of flooring in a challenging waterside environment. Timing was critical as it needed to be changed between events and overnight, allowing athletes to run barefoot across the carpet.
Our UK team created an innovative 1000-seat, tiered amphitheater with a center stage for the Bett show. Attendees could easily learn about the latest technology used in the education industry with an unobstructed view from all sides.
