Operational Updates
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.

A statue of former England manager Graham Taylor has been unveiled at Watford FC's ground. Taylor, who died aged 72 in January 2017, led Watford FC from the Fourth Division to runners-up in the old First Division in five years. The statue was commissioned to recognise his "unparalleled achievements as Watford's greatest ever manager", the club said. It stands outside the Hornets Shop at the club's Vicarage Road ground. The bronze statue took award-winning sculptor Douglas Jennings a year to create.
Royal Ascot this year was CSP's 13th since the re-opening of the new stand and certainly the best yet.
