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.
When the Apprenticeship Levy was launched, I found it interesting talking to other companies on how they were going to use it as no-one appeared to really understand it. Our own HR Manager at the time indicated the funds could be used to up-skill some of our existing work-force, but neglected to mention the study time that would have to be put in on a weekly basis, which would prove impossible operationally during busy parts of the season. At any rate, that isn't what it was designed to do.
Royal Ascot this year was CSP's 13th since the re-opening of the new stand and certainly the best yet.
So what a great weekend, and the summer proper feels like its started. Car park and traffic management, security and stewarding, cleaning at yet another Epsom Derby with some great feedback from our clients and numerous Spotlight Award nominations for our staff. Thank you to all of you who supported this great event. But it's not just about The Derby. We had numerous other events this weekend including Alexandra Palace, Chepstow, Race 4 Life, Towcester Racecourse, Twickenham London Sevens and Wembley Stadium England v Nigeria amongst others, and its the support and management of those that allows the team working The Derby to focus, so well done to all who supported CSP on this busy, hot, long and tiring weekend. Caring Safe Professional.
The Women v Cancer, supporting Breast Cancer Care, Ride The Night 2018 event took place in Windsor on the 5th May. It is the UK's only charity night cycle ride for women. The event takes place to raise vital funds to support women's cancer charities. Now in its fifth year, the Ride the Night challenge invites thousands of women to join together to ride 100km through the night across London for Breast Cancer Care, Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action. Starting and finishing at Windsor Racecourse, the route takes riders around famous landmarks including Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and more. Ride the Night 2018 invited women of all ages and from all walks of life to come together to do something incredible for charity. The friendship and camaraderie along the way always promises to be very special and since it started in 2014, Ride the Night has raised £4.8 million and 8,200 women have taken part in the challenge. To register visit www.dreamchallenges.co.uk. Open to women aged 16 and over. CSP were proud to support this event with John Gilligan and his team.
So the Managing Director is a Chelsea season ticket holder. He hasn't had a lot to smile about when attending matches recently. Good job we've got a great team operating the externals. As well as managing the road closures and external traffic, the customer service and stewarding operation post match provides an exceptionally valuable experience of getting away from the area. This operation is a great benchmark, separating the queues from those using the match day entrance for Fulham Broadway Station and those passing in Fulham Road. It keeps visitors safe and provides an expedient operation to clear the area as quickly as possible, whilst having a bit of banter with the fans post match.
