Signature SES renews contract for PGA Championship, Senior PGA Championship, Ryder Cup

FREDERICK, Md. -- Signature Special Event Services (www.EventServices.com), the leading full-service event rental company in North America, said today that it has been awarded a 4-year contract renewal for three of the most prestigious events in professional golf.

Tom Brown, president of Signature Special Event Services, said his company's agreement with the PGA of America (www.pga.com) to provide services for the PGA Championship, the Senior PGA Championship, and the Ryder Cup is being extended through 2009. Mr. Brown credits the past work of Signature Special Event Services Vice President Cathy Montez and her team with the win.

Over the past year, Ms. Montez and her team have constructed over 1 million square feet of tenting and flooring for major golf championships including work at the PGA Senior Championship, The Masters, the Bell South Classic, the Ryder Cup and others.

Signature's Wide World of Tents for Sports . . . and More

Ms. Montez said golf is just one of the sports - and one of the special events - for which Signature provides tenting, flooring, and other services. She said that Signature just completed work at The Masters, providing two-story corporate hospitality tents, and at the Bell South Classic, providing tenting and electric (HVAC). Signature is also setting up the extensive Marquee Village at the Kentucky Derby, including tenting and electric, and providing similar services for the upcoming Festival of the Book in Los Angeles at UCLA. And recently Signature helped welcome baseball back to Washington, D.C., after a 33-year absence by providing tenting for a special Major League Baseball VIP party outside RFK Stadium to celebrate the first game at home by the Washington Nationals.

'Satisfying Customers Over and Over Again'

"This is a tremendous vote of confidence from a very prestigious client," said Mr. Brown. "The PGA of America is making a long-term commitment with first-hand experience of how we perform in demanding environments."

"Our business is more than just laying down flooring, putting up tents and then lighting, heating or cooling the area," Mr. Brown said. "It's about taking a burden off the shoulders of our clients and letting them concentrate on what they have to do."
