ES Group and Arena Group join forces in Delhi for the Commonwealth Games

October 3rd 2010 sees the opening of the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. ESG Arena JV (comprising ES Group and Arena Group), together with local partner d-artindia, have been contracted to provide Games Overlay for 3 competition venues and 18 training venues. The team are responsible for providing the temporary overlay for these facilities including more than 130 temporary structures, a temporary stadium to host the Rugby Sevens, power, grandstands, media facilities and lighting. The scope of the contract also includes maintenance during the Games and removal of the temporary overlay afterwards.

The local partnership has been set up specifically to deliver this £13million project but the intention is to develop the partnership and to deliver future projects together in India as the desire to deliver bigger and better world class events in India is very apparent. There are many opportunities in the region in the near future including the ICC Cricket World Cup, IPL and Formula 1.

"We are delighted to be working on the Commonwealth Games. It's vital to have a regional partner on a project like this to take advantage of existing relationships with local companies. We are working with some really great people and suppliers who are making this an exciting project to be involved with." said ES Group Director Jeff Burke.
