Overlay Roots

Better Green launched a small overlay arm of the company in 2011 as London prepared for the 2012 Olympics. 

  • Ed's three years of experience in GL Events enabled BGO to speak with complete knowledge and understanding of the complicated needs and the processes that other production companies did not have.

  • Ed, seeing a specific need for sporting events, personally designed and refined a media tribune desk solution. BGO is now the biggest stockist of rental desks in the UK and will keep developing the design to improve it further. View the Rugby World Cup Project

  • Better Green say ‘Yes’ to many of the more challenging projects on the overlay sites. One of note at London 2012 Olympics that put the spotlight on this emerging overlay division was the design and build of the temporary vet clinic at the Greenwich Equestrian site, a complicated and technically advanced project that was designed and built in just six weeks.

  • Similarly, installing the basketball court at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games was a project that no other company was prepared to undertake. BGO provided a solution and installation in just three weeks, including a complex rip-out. 

  • During the recent Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the phones that never stopped ringing were a testament to the BGO team's can-do attitude and quality activation. 

  • This mindset to approach design and build challenges head-on, and with the experience and commitment to the cause from their teams, is the catalyst for this division's growth.

  • The company will continue to evolve its overlay offering; however, the BGO reputation is solid for reliability and positivity on these challenging sites, making them the go-to team for media desks and special projects on the overlay landscape, both in the UK and Europe.

  • Sustainability plays an enormous part in who we are as a company; we pride ourselves on our policies that are clear and tangible. Please view all our sustainable methods, charities we support and outreach we undertake, all made possible through the contracts you, our clients, award us. View our Sustainability Manifesto

  • BGO's 2024 goals are firm, to be on-site at the Paris Olympics. We hope to share exciting news and project updates from these outstanding sporting events soon.
