Operational Updates
Following the success of 2019's HVM installation for the Regent Street Xmas Lights switch on in London, we were proud to return to support safe shopping in the capital this year across a number of weekends in December. Our HVM installation allows Regent Street to convert to a fully pedestrian operation. From learnings last year and the acquisition of our new lighter weight Mifram system, we have also been supporting the installation in side roads.
The New Year used to signify a busy football calendar for CSP, but now we support the close of year and the celebration of the new year. Like Jools Holland on the BBC, the New Years Eve fireworks in London by the Thames has now become a regular diary fixture. Over 100,000 people book to attend this extravaganza and this requires a massive operation to effectively deliver a safe and fantastic event. Approx 12,000 fireworks are exploded from midnight with 2,000 of these alone launched from the London Eye.
John Gilligan has been delivering all our soft services to Kempton Park's premier raceday, the King George VI at the Ladbrokes Christmas Festival. It was fantastic to hear from the client that the 2019 Racedays were considered one of the best in terms of delivery of operations.
We were extremely proud to be part of the relaunch of the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre as we had been supporting the delivery of The Farnborough International Airshow for quite some time as well as non-airshow events, so the opportunity to support the growth of the Farnborough International' year round business was a great opportunity. Our Operations Manager, Juliet Kershaw, and her team threw themselves in fully into the customer service programme, WINGS, ensuring that the service standards expected by Team Farnborough are delivered fully.
Our traditional Autumn International series at Twickenham is not taking place (although there will be a Barbarians game in place) due to The Rugby World Cup taking place in Japan from 20 September through to 2 November. For those following Brexit (and who isn't?) we could be starting the tournament in Europe and finding we are out of Europe by the end of it.
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.
