North Lancashire businesses are supporting the Commonwealth Games, which is underway in Birmingham.
Lancaster based FGH Security are an Official Stewarding Provider to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, which is on until 8th August.
Birmingham 2022 will see 4,500 athletes from 72 nations and territories competing in 19 sports across the West Midlands. The Games is expected to attract more than one million spectators to the city and have a global audience of 1.5 billion.
The deployment will include more than 600 staff across 14 days carrying out prestigious duties such as protecting the field of play, crowd flow monitoring, and viewing area monitoring.
The company will be providing visitors with a friendly and informative front-of-house service on top of our usual mission of Keeping People Safe.
FGH Security will be deployed to 7 of the 15 competition venues and is an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our stewarding provision.
Managing Director, Peter Harrison said: “The Games is a massive opportunity for us. Above all, they offer a chance to showcase our values in action.”
Meanwhile, Mazuma Mobile, based at White Lund Industrial Estate, is sponsoring buses taking passengers to and from the Games’ venues in Birmingham, with their mascot Maz getting an early ride this week.
Graham Elleray, Head of Marketing at Mazuma Mobile, said: “We are delighted to have a presence at such a major sporting occasion.
“The Commonwealth Games brings people from across the world together and it is great that we can support the event and get the Mazuma message to so many people.’’
