A key part of our strategy is developing our in-house training so as not to be reliant on external providers. We trialed on-line training modules last year and moved to a full suite this year with an expanding library. We also recruited a dedicated Training and Development Manager at the start of the year, Kacey Watson, to lead on the development of our training schedules.

Investors in People renewed again

Posted by on 13 July 2023 | Comments

We first achieved Investors in People (IIP) almost 20 years ago when it was a relatively new accreditation. It was important at that stage to secure external validation of our company culture, process and procedures to enable development in the work place.

The World Cup comes to Croxley

Posted by on 9 December 2022 | Comments

To encourage engagement during the World Cup this year, our Head of HR, Tim Surch, devised (what we all thought look complicated but he made look easy) a competition based on each match score for the qualifying rounds.  We had some great engagement but what became even more entertaining during these rounds was Tim's amusing summaries each night after 9.30pm, with a blog around movements in the table following scores that very few could have anticipated (Cameroon beating Brazil, Japan beating Spain, Belgium's losses, Tunisia beating France, South Korea beating Portugal, Germany out) that all of us competing looked forward to.

A day out at Newbury............

Posted by on 12 November 2022 | Comments

We are pleased to sponsor a race annually at Newbury Racecourse and it was nice to get back to normality this year, given the last two years of the pandemic. We sponsored The CSP Mares' Novices' Hurdle again this November 3rd, and Newbury Racecourse allowed us to use their Royal Box to give some of our management team a day out and the opportunity to meet some of our key clients. Luckily, the rail strike was called off so everyone could relax and share a drink and share stories of the last couple of years, put faces to email conversations and talk about the future.

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.
