“We put customer experience at the heart of every decision we make and GSS came highly recommended by many of our peers within the live entertainment industry as the supplier with the most experience in deploying dog teams at mass spectator events. The safety, security and enjoyment of our customers is everything to us and it has been terrific to identify and work with a partner who shares that mentality and understands both the nuances of crowd management and the dynamic environment we operate in”
