Operational Updates
Shane Lowry fulfilled his childhood dream of winning his first major at the 148th Open Championship held at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. It was CSP's 6th Open Championship, providing services to the R&A, providing consultation, planning, logistics management and support during the build up and break down, as well as managing the car parking and traffic operations during the event.
Our title refers to some great touchpoints that those visiting The Championships at The All England Lawn Tennis Club would have experienced this year. Whilst we can't influence the first four, we certainly hope that we played a part in influencing the arrivals and departures at both ends of the day at the world's greatest tennis tournament. Our operations have grown over the last 3 years from supporting build up and break down periods to managing crossings and traffic management, an element of security cover and the management of Car Park 10.
We were incredibly proud to support the first MLB (Major League Baseball) Series at London Stadium. What better way to kick off than with two of the most recognised teams: Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Both steeped in baseball tradition (Take Me Out To The Ball Park) but both with their own traditions (Sweet Caroline and YMCA). The Yankees won both days and there were 10 home runs scored across the series which gave the UK crowd a great induction.
CSP are pleased to have completed yet another Derby at Epsom Downs Racecourse. The 2019 Epsom Derby was the 240th annual running of the Derby and took place on 1 June 2019. The race was sponsored by Investec. The winner was the Coolmore Stud's bay colt Anthony Van Dyck, ridden by Seamie Heffernan .
Our golf season has started with out first major event with the 2019 Betfred British Masters at the Hillside Golf Links in Southport. Sam Wilson, Craig Spence and the team delivered a sterling operation both in terms of car parking/traffic management as well as cleaning.
The Ryder Cup presented us with a fantastic opportunity to grow our relationship with PGA Europe by supporting the car parking/traffic management in Paris this year. A lot of planning when into this event throughout the year by Graham Arnott, including a staffing agency dropping out a few months before the event. Graham's perseverance meant that not only did we supply the numbers required (around 300 per day) whilst training and managing them, but we also took on additional work supporting the cleaning operations at short notice to ensure that the event was a success.
