Glenn van Straalen, a rising star in motorcycle racing, has been on an exhilarating journey since 2007, progressing from the Dutch championship to the global stage. This year, Glenn's hospitality setup at the TT Circuit in Assen reached new heights thanks to Expandable's innovative trailers. These state-of-the-art units provide world-class comfort and seamless setup, ensuring Glenn's guests enjoy an exceptional experience. For Glenn, this collaboration with Expandable not only enhances his hospitality capabilities but also supports his quest for the world championship.
The Challenge: Create a Reliable, Comfortable Hospitality Space—Fast
Hospitality at this level is more than just a tent and some chairs. It’s where sponsors are welcomed, strategic conversations happen, and families can relax during a hectic weekend. The environment needs to be warm, premium, and functional—rain or shine.
But in early April, the weather in Assen is anything but reliable. Wind, rain, and cold temperatures are all on the table. For the team behind GVS Hospitality, it was clear they needed a solution that offered both speed and comfort, without compromising on quality.
"For a rider, the home race is always special. You want everything to be perfect. But Dutch weather makes things tricky. That’s why we needed a solution we could count on—no matter what the forecast said."
Efficient hospitality with Expandable Trailers
The answer came in the form of two Expandable units, delivered directly to the paddock. Within a matter of hours, both units were fully deployed—level with the ground, heated, and ready to welcome guests.
Expandable units are designed for exactly this kind of scenario. They’re highly adaptable, offer a clean and premium finish, and can be set up quickly even in demanding environments. For GVS Hospitality, this meant they could create a lounge-like atmosphere that felt high-end, comfortable, and weatherproof.
"The communication with Expandable was smooth and easy," says Anne. "We shared our floor plan, and the truck arrived the next day. The units were ready in no time. They were warm, bright, and felt like a real hospitality lounge—perfect for what we needed."
Hospitality in action
Throughout the weekend, the two Expandable units became the heart of Glenn van Straalen’s hospitality setup. Guests relaxed inside, meetings were held, and sponsors enjoyed a premium experience. Family members found a calm moment away from the track, and Glenn had peace of mind knowing his support team and partners were taken care of.
For Expandable, the event was a great example of what their mobile spaces are all about: delivering comfort, style, and flexibility—fast. The collaboration with GVS Hospitality showcased how adaptable their units can be, especially in high-pressure, time-sensitive environments like motorsports.
