Time critical, stress-free logistics solutions and expertise

Commitment, skill, drive, passion, planning, coordination and teamwork are vital for sporting success. They’re also what drives us at GAC UK Sports & Events.

Critical success factorsLogistics is key to what goes on before, during and after an event. Ensuring every piece of equipment, every spare part arrives safely, at the right place and at the right time - these are the critical success factors in sports events everywhere from Silverstone to Singapore, Brazil to Bahrain.

Leading the fieldWe have a proven track record as official logistics provider to the Volvo Ocean Race and FIA World Rallycross Championship. And we apply that expertise to meet the logistics demands of any sports or events.

The round-the-world Volvo Ocean Race required a monumental two year management programme; a seamless support package that saw two identical race villages totaling 2,400 tonnes leapfrogging each other around the globe. That took

300,000 miles of travel by our team before the race began, 21,000 hours and more than 100 ATA carnets. And it was GAC who ensured two stricken teams were able to complete the race after disaster struck.

In motorsport, the FIA World Rallycross Championship entrusted us with the first ever airfreight charter of 19 rallycross cars from Canada to Norway.

GAC has also been charged with the complex logistics management for world-class events such as the Doha Asian Games, MotoGP, Offshore Powerboat Grand Prix and Powerboat 1.

Here for the long haulOur team nurtures long-term relationships with clients and partners, and we strive to provide the most cost-effective and time-efficient solution to your needs.
