New Business
8th November 2023, London: One of the longest established providers of traffic management and car parking services at special events and static sites, The Combined Services Provider (CSP), has been acquired by Norland Equity Partners Acquisition Limited (NEP) in an ambitious UK and international growth plan.
We have been supporting our partners and The FCDO (Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office) for a number of years now ranging from the G7 Summit, COP26 Glasgow through to the late Queen's funeral, so we were extremely proud to support the coronation of King Charles III.
CSP have been operating at Twickenham Stadium on behalf of the RFU since 2003 with our first car park operation coinciding with Twickenham's first concert: The Rolling Stones in 2003. Roll on 20 years and it's not just the car parks we are entrusted with but the full traffic management and external stewarding operation covering the visitor route from Twickenham High Street and Station all the way down to the Stadium. We are pleased to have been re-appointed with a new term contract, testament to the value in which we hold this client.
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 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.
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. Whether football, rugby, horse-racing, golf, exhibitions or even major events such as G7, Cornwall or COP26, Glasgow, we design and implement TMP's (Traffic Management Plans) and can support with Chapter 12d, Chapter 8 (Signing, Lighting. Guarding) and CSAS (Community Safety Accreditation Scheme) operatives.
