We can’t wait for the 2014 FIFA World Cup to kick off in Brazil tonight and we’ve got our fingers crossed for England to bring home some glory for a change! However if we’re not so lucky, at least GGR is helping some of England’s football stadiums look worthy of hosting the beautiful game every season.

GGR’s mini cranes and lifting solutions have been used time and time again for working in areas of football stadiums where access is restricted and space is limited. Fitting new glass to spectator boxes in fully constructed stadiums is particularly tricky, but GGR’s mini cranes are able to work inside the venues to perform this task.  Here are some examples of our work…
