Loftus Road beckons........

Posted by on 12 September 2022 | Comments

I can remember my first visit to Loftus Road in 1975 to see Yes in concert (those were the days!) swiftly followed by a visit in 1976 to see a friendly against Red Star Belgrade. Those days in the old First Division (the equivalent of today's Premier League for you youngsters) saw Queens Park Rangers playing with a mix of legends in their later years (John Hollins, Frank McLintock, David Webb) alongside younger stars (Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis, Dave Clement and Phil Parkes).

The Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022

Posted by on 10 August 2022 | Comments

The Birmingham Commonwealth Games came to a fantastic conclusion with its closing ceremony culminating in Black Sabbath, Birmingham's very own heavy metal heroes, bringing down the curtain to a fantastic event.                                                                     We were incredibly proud to have provided security cover to numerous sites including Alexander Stadium, Smithfield, Victoria Park, Sutton Park, Cannock Chase, Warwick, Wolverhampton and Victoria Square, and traffic management/ checkpoint and access control  services to Alexander Stadium, Cannock Chase, Sutton Park, the University of Birmingham, Sandwell Aquatics Centre and Lea Valley Velodrome.

Wimbledon is back better than ever....

Posted by on 10 July 2022 | Comments

Our operation at The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club has continued to grow over the last few years and it was great to see The Championship back with full crowds but also an extra day with the Middle Sunday now becoming a permanent fixture. Our team have not only been managing the route from Southfields to the venue, but also Car Park 10 management and external security/SIA services, including the pre-checking of trade vehicles before arrival on site (this has meant X-Ray search training).

The Jubilee Weekend Cazoo Epsom Derby

Posted by on 10 June 2022 | Comments

We have been supporting the Epsom Derby since the 90's when we only provided car parking services. Over 25 years later the operation encompasses all soft services, security and stewarding, traffic management as well as car parking. The scale of the operation has grown considerably as well with increased hospitality facilities as well as the fairground and market on The Hill.

New E-learning suites.....

Posted by on 29 April 2022 | Comments

In 2016, we were one of the first medium sized event services providers to create on-line inductions for our front-line teams. Whilst we prefer face to face sessions, the nature of our regional recruitment created logistical challenges, particularly when recruiting for one-off events. The solution was to develop on-line inductions to ensure consistency for all our front-line teams whether the worked a single event or all year round. Nowadays these are completed on the recruitment days so there is a physical presence as well, and all new staff have to undergo and pass before they can operate an assignment.

We have been reading a lot in the recent press with regard to the labour shortages as we return from COVID, particularly in regard to the travel and hospitality industries. These industries really struggled during COVID with a cessation of all activities, and compounded with the effects of Brexit 2 years on, has found that there is a high demand for those who want to work.
