So what a great weekend, and the summer proper feels like its started. Car park and traffic management, security and stewarding, cleaning at yet another Epsom Derby with some great feedback from our clients and numerous Spotlight Award nominations for our staff. Thank you to all of you who supported this great event. But it's not just about The Derby. We had numerous other events this weekend including Alexandra Palace, Chepstow, Race 4 Life, Towcester Racecourse, Twickenham London Sevens and Wembley Stadium England v Nigeria amongst others, and its the support and management pf those that allows the team working The Derby to focus, so well done to all who supported CSP on this busy, hot, long and tiring weekend. Caring Safe Professional.
So the end of the 2017/18 Premier League Season, and after a well fought battle, the winners of the CSP (Living The Dream) Fantasy League table are finalised.A lot of jockeying for the top 3 positions over the last few weeks, although those at the top have mostly performed consistently all season. Last year's winner, O'Neil McLean, has dropped to 7th place this season, but still a lot better than any of the other CSP permanent team, none of whom made the top 10 places. Matthew Rooney came first with Pique Blinders, with Chris Galloway maintaining a close second with The Wanchope Shop. In third place, by the skin of his teeth in the final week, was Dwayne Sewell with Deespurs, so congratulations to all three of you. There will be a prize of £60 of vouchers for Matthew in 1st , £40 of vouchers for Chris in 2nd and £20 of vouchers for Dwayne in 3rd.
The Women v Cancer, supporting Breast Cancer Care, Ride The Night 2018 event took place in Windsor on the 5th May. It is the UK's only charity night cycle ride for women. The event takes place to raise vital funds to support women's cancer charities. Now in its fifth year, the Ride the Night challenge invites thousands of women to join together to ride 100km through the night across London for Breast Cancer Care, Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action. Starting and finishing at Windsor Racecourse, the route takes riders around famous landmarks including Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and more. Ride the Night 2018 invited women of all ages and from all walks of life to come together to do something incredible for charity. The friendship and camaraderie along the way always promises to be very special and since it started in 2014, Ride the Night has raised £4.8 million and 8,200 women have taken part in the challenge. To register visit www.dreamchallenges.co.uk. Open to women aged 16 and over. CSP were proud to support this event with John Gilligan and his team.
The GolfSixes has once again captured the imagination of the golfing world at Centurion Club into the Bank Holiday weekend.The innovative playing format combined with the addition of women's and mixed teams brought huge crowds to The Centurion Club in St Albans and caught the attention of golf fans all over the globe (and no...there isn't meant to be a gap between Golf and Sixes !) CSP were there to support safe arrivals and departures as well as keeping the site clean for all the visitors. Caring Safe Professional. Well done to Sam Wilson, Craig Spence and the team (and David Ratcliffe who always seems to be everywhere!)
Over the last week, CSP were proud to have been selected to support key stakeholders as part of the senior project team for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London on behalf of The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, delivering the transport plan for 16 high profile venues. This involved the detailed accreditation of circa 150 staff per day due to the high security profile and all credit goes to Graham Arnott, George Mayanja and Nicola Carman and their respective teams in making this a success for our client. CSP delivered a combination of CSAS (Community Safety Accreditation Scheme) accredited staff, Signing/Guarding/Lighting trained staff (previously Chapter 8) and Traffic Marshals as well as a management overlay.Well done all involved. Caring Safe Professional. Also worth noting that the Resourcing Team also supported 2 x FA Cup Semi Finals at Wembley, Premiership matches at The London Stadium, Watford FC, Arsenal FC, Championship at Birmingham City FC, Racing at Newbury, Newmarket, Kempton Park and Royal Windsor, Cricket at The Ageas Bowl, events at The O2, The London Marathon, Beaulieu Boat Jumble and even Richmond District Scouts St George's Day Parade across this period. Phew !!!
So the Managing Director is a Chelsea season ticket holder. He hasn't had a lot to smile about when attending matches recently. Good job we've got a great team operating the externals. As well as managing the road closures and external traffic, the customer service and stewarding operation post match provides an exceptionally valuable experience of getting away from the area. This operation is a great benchmark, separating the queues from those using the match day entrance for Fulham Broadway Station and those passing in Fulham Road. It keeps visitors safe and provides an expedient operation to clear the area as quickly as possible, whilst having a bit of banter with the fans post match.
