Operational Updates
CSP have provided traffic management services to The Boat Race since 2016 and remains one of the most iconic events on the CSP Calendar. With both Oxford and Cambridge, with both crews competing for The Aberdeen ‘Quaich’ in the Men’s race and The Newton Trophy in the Women’s race.
Over the last 2 years we have seen significant increases in requirements for Community Safety Scheme Accredited (CSAS) Traffic Officers from both new and existing Clients. Across the peak periods in 2024, we will need to deploy an average of 45 officers per day, with the busiest days totaling more than 70 officers.
At the end of January we waved farewell to our former Managing Director, Tony Nikolic who has taken the decision to retire from full time employment after a long and successful career in the Events industry.
On a scale from 0 to 10, how likely would you be to recommend CSP ?............The survey says 9.
We are delighted to share that we have recently passed our annual ACS SIA Audit, achieving a record score since CSP first became accredited. As part of the process across the two-day inspection, our Auditor not only spent time with our head office teams, but also took the opportunity to visit both Kempton Park Racecourse and Arsenal Football Club to observe in both cases, the deployment of our SIA teams.
Having worked the previous two European Ryder Cups held in 2014 (Scotland) and 2018 (France), we always had the 2023 Rome event in our sites. Graham Arnott, our Head of Event Services, led on the project with Ryder Cup Italy very early on, working with our colleagues from PGA Europe. We were appointed by Ryder Cup Italy and The Italian Golf Federation to provide consultancy services and oversee Traffic Management, Car Parking, Pedestrian Services and Park and Ride sites for the event.
