The event was one of many smaller scale prestige projects that Arena Seating services.

By carefully constructing the grandstands surrounding the court's glass walls, Arena were able to offer spectators the best possible comfort and viewing experience as the world's greatest squash players fought for the title of champion, eventually won by England's Nick Matthew.

Arena Seating project manager, Bradley Merchant explained:"It is great to be involved in a sporting championship such as the ISS Squash. As we do with a range of sporting and live events organisers of all different sizes, we worked closely with ISS to create the venue's unique atmosphere.

"We provide events that require anything from 100 to 25,000 seats, each of which have their unique challenges and rewards."

Director of events at Eventis, Tim Garner said: "I have always enjoyed working with Arena on the ISS Canary Wharf Squash Classic.

"The East Wintergarden venue is wonderful due to the intimate atmosphere that it creates, although the proximity of the seating to the court and the building obviously makes it vital that the firm installing them is professional and accommodating in terms of any small changes that are required.

"Arena has always ticked both boxes, initially in the planning stage and then onsite with the crew building and breaking-down the structure."
