PAST EXPERIENCES

 As part of our exclusive client experiences, Glistian Global Solutions hosted a luxury horse racing tour for our South African clients, culminating in an unforgettable trip to Paris.

The journey began in the UK with a thrilling day at Brighton Racecourse, followed by a series of private stable visits to some of the most respected trainers in British racing. Our guests enjoyed behind-the-scenes access at renowned yards including Tony Carroll (Worcester), Jamie Snowden (Lambourn), Andrew Balding (Lambourn), and George Boughey (Newmarket). We also spent an insightful day at Epsom Downs Racecourse, where our guests had the opportunity to explore the historic venue and learn more about its racing heritage.

The trip continued with a Eurostar journey to Paris, where clients experienced the city’s iconic landmarks such as The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. The highlight of the tour was attending the prestigious Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, one of the world’s most celebrated horse racing events, where guests enjoyed premium hospitality in the Prestige Enclosure.

The experience concluded with our guests returning to Johannesburg, taking home unforgettable memories of world-class racing, exclusive access, and the charm of Paris. 

For the 2024 Durban July, Glistian Global Solutions curated an exclusive, high-end race day experience for SunBets at Greyville Racecourse.

Our team designed and fully branded a private hospitality suite for SunBets, creating a stylish and immersive environment for their valued clients. Each guest received a bespoke goodie bag, adding a personal touch to the day’s festivities.

The SunBets experience included access to our private suite, premium food and beverages, and exclusive parade ring access both pre and post race. To further enhance engagement, we hosted an interactive race day competition, allowing even novice racegoers to get involved and enjoy the thrill of the sport.

Adding to the excitement, Glistian celebrated a Group 1 victory with our runner, Humdinger. This incredible achievement allowed our guests to share in the Group 1 winner experience, making the day even more memorable and truly one to celebrate.

The event was a perfect blend of luxury hospitality, brand activation, and racing success — a true reflection of the energy and prestige that defines the Durban July.

 In November 2024, we hosted an exclusive golfing experience in Dubai for the DP World Tour, held from 16–19 November 2024.

Guests enjoyed full-day access to the tournament, complete with premium hospitality throughout the event. Each day combined world-class golf with exceptional service, offering a perfect balance of sport and relaxation.

Evenings were spent enjoying curated social experiences, including elegant rooftop drinks and fine dining at select Dubai restaurants, allowing guests to unwind while taking in the city’s stunning skyline.

This trip perfectly blended luxury, networking, and sporting excellence, providing our clients with an unforgettable international golf experience. 

The trip combines sightseeing, leisure, and racing experiences across New York City and upstate New York. Highlights include exploring Manhattan through a scenic brunch cruise on the Hudson River, a private guided city tour of major landmarks such as Central Park, the 9/11 Memorial, and Soho, and free time for shopping, dining, and attending a Yankees baseball game. 

There are also opportunities to enjoy New York’s vibrant culture, from rooftop bars to live music and historic sites. The second half of the trip focuses on upstate New York, featuring visits to the charming town of Hudson and two major race days at Saratoga—the Bed o’ Roses and Gold Cup Raceday, and the prestigious Belmont Stakes Day—both enjoyed from private hospitality boxes. 

The experience concludes in Albany with time to relax and a Gala dinner and awards evening to celebrate the trip.

 Glistian Global Solutions organised an insightful business exploration trip to Shanghai, focused on identifying emerging opportunities and innovative products for future ventures.

During the visit, our team attended a range of industry conventions and conducted factory tours across key sectors, gaining firsthand insight into cutting-edge manufacturing processes and upcoming market trends.

The trip provided valuable connections and market intelligence, strengthening our global network and helping us source the next big innovations to bring to our clients and partners.
