Four-Year Contract with Queens Park Rangers Football Club

Stadium Support Services win four-year, multi-site, facilities management contract with Queens Park Rangers Football Club.

London-based Facilities Management company, Stadium Support Services has been appointed to provide a comprehensive range of essential services to both the stadium and training ground for the championship side, including maintenance, match day logistics, and project management.

Stadium Support Services has worked closely with Queens Park Rangers (QPR) for the past four years. During this time, capex and maintenance projects for the club have been a focus, earning Stadium Support Services a reputation for expertise, reliability, and attention to detail.

The new contract to manage and maintain the facilities at both the Loftus Road Stadium and the new state-of-the-art training ground is a testament to the strong relationship built with QPR over these years.

Uniforms and Identity

Uniforms and Identity

As the Operations Director of Stadium Support Services, I have seen first-hand the positive impact that uniforms and identity can have. Uniforms are more than just clothing – they are an essential component of creating a professional image and establishing a sense of identity for your team.

Uniforms can help to establish unity, pride and cohesion among your team. When everyone is dressed the same way, it creates a feeling of equality and reinforces the idea that everyone is working towards a common goal. This can help to improve teamwork and communication, leading to a more efficient and effective workforce.

In large venues, it can be challenging to distinguish between employees and visitors. Uniforms can really help with the easy identification of venue staff and external teams. This also helps to enhance security and safety within the site. Staff may need to access restricted areas of the venue, and uniforms help them gain access to these areas open only to authorised personnel.

Uniforms can also include reflective materials, making employees visible and enhancing their safety in low-light conditions.

Uniforms can also help to increase brand visibility and recognition. When your team is out in the field, wearing uniforms with your company logo or branding, it can lead to new business opportunities and establish your company as a leader in the industry.

Finally, and most importantly, uniforms can also serve as a safety measure. Your team may need to wear PPE that are designed to protect them from hazardous materials or situations. This can include high-visibility clothing, protective gear, or clothing that is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. By providing your team with the appropriate uniforms, you can help to keep them safe and reduce the risk of accidents or injuries.

At Stadium Support Services, we understand the importance of uniforms and identity in facilities management. That’s why we take great care to ensure that all of our team members are equipped with the appropriate clothing and equipment for their specific roles. Whether it’s high-visibility clothing for our traffic management team or protective gear for our stadium cleaning crew, we prioritise safety, professionalism, and unity across all areas of our business.
