About Us
CSP stands for The Combined Services Provider. It also stands for Caring, Safe, Professional, representing Our Values. We specialise in providing services to both venues and static sites including Car Parking, Internal and External Traffic Management, HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) Solutions, Security, Stewarding, Cash & Audit and Consultancy Services. Whilst our range of services has grown, Car Park/Traffic Management, HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) and Security/Stewarding represent our core areas of expertise.
We secured our first major venue contract in 1994 and, since those early days, we’ve added numerous prestigious clients to our portfolio and now provide a range of services to some of the UK’s most memorable sporting and entertainment events and venues.
With our wealth of knowledge and experience of the event industry, we fully understand the complexities of major events and green field site operations, where an irregular event calendar, numerous ingress and egress patterns, varying staffing levels and continued innovation all add to the challenge. We also understand the management and maximising of commercial opportunities at static parking sites.
We pride ourselves on being able to adapt to the varying demands placed at each of our venues and ensuring that the same high quality service is delivered for all, whether attended by 100,000 or 100 visitors. Big enough to do the job, small enough to care!!
