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.
As we are a specialist provider of Traffic Management to the venue and events industry, as well as supporting civil work from time to time, making sure our teams receive the right training and accreditation is paramount to giving our clients the confidence that their traffic management is being managed and delivered correctly.

Guarding) and CSAS (Community Safety Accreditation Scheme) operatives.
One of the City of London’s oldest traditions is the Boar’s Head Procession which typically takes place in early December. For 2021, the pre-Christmas event was delayed until January 2022.
Christmas Day is traditionally, regardless of personal beliefs or customs, a day when we can all take a break and spend some quality time with family with good food, drink and leisure activities.
We secured a term contract at Olympia London in 2019 following a competitive tender process. The venue is earmarked as a true destination through a significant development plan that will include hotels, bars and restaurants as well as performance venues in addition to the existing conference and exhibition trade. As we launched into this new contract with planning meetings on how the development would take place, Covid hit and we never quite got into the full calendar.
