CSP have returned to AELTC for The Championships at Wimbldon, our 9th consecutive year supporting this iconic international event in the UK summer sporting calendar. Along with the tennis balls being refreshed, this year we managed the event with two new Managers taking the operational lead. The opportunity to step into the leadership roles reflects their experience in leading our other projects, their confidence and demonstrated ability to perform at the most demanding level, and a supportive and collaborative environment across the team, which we continue to develop back at HQ.
The Combined Services Provider Ltd (CSP) are delighted to announce the appointment of Adam Down as Chief Operating Officer. Adam joins our organisation in the newly created role bringing his extensive industry knowledge and major event delivery experience to our senior leadership team. Utilising his drive for innovation he will oversee the execution of the company’s growth strategy and enhancement of our client operations.
CSP Managing Partner, Ola Lawal said “I am delighted to welcome Adam Down as the new Chief Operating Officer for CSP. He joins us with a wealth of experience in the event industry bringing a remarkable track record of operational excellence and strategic leadership. Throughout his career, Adam has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to enhance operational efficiency, implement transformative solutions, and foster a culture of teamwork and collaboration. His approach in driving business growth and innovation makes him a perfect fit for CSP as we strive to deliver exceptional client and guest experience at each event and enhance our employee experience. I am looking forward to working closely with Adam on this transformation journey".
CSP Chairman, Chris Daniels said "Adam is an excellent addition to the CSP family as we grow and develop the company. His decades of experience on major events will cement the strong brand CSP has and bring together the wider customer proposition across security, stewarding and event management. In the few weeks Adam has been with us, he's already made a strong impact, and we expect our customers, team and stakeholders to notice the benefit of this as we move forwards".
