"UGL Services offered that experience supported by strong references from well-respected sports and entertainment venue managers. The company also demonstrated proven transition experience with 'onboarding' of staff and offered us an outstanding management team with world-class quality assurance programs."

"It is a signature property we staff every day in order to support Sun Life Stadium management as they open their doors to 75,000 patrons for Miami Dolphins games and for other events. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship."
