Coming up in July for DC Site Services…

Posted on Thursday, June 27, 2024

With June more or less behind us and another successful Glastonbury festival nearly under our belts, it’s time to look ahead to July which is one of our busiest months of the year. It’s a packed 4 weeks, with a real mix of events and festivals lined up ahead of us with the likes of…

  • Mahiki Henley
  • Formula 1
  • Classic Ibiza Ragley Hall, Chatsworth, Bowood and Burghley
  • Let’s Rock Southampton
  • Henley festival cleaning, traffic, litter & toilets
  • Kew the Music
  • Beatherder
  • FOCUS
  • Latitude festival

And all this before the big looming August bank holiday weekend. With so much going on it’s easy to let the finer details get away from you, so here’s a quick check list:

  • Logistics! If using public transport look into this sooner rather than later to avoid paying more than you need to
  • Pre/post shifts – if you’ve agreed to these extra shifts with the office just be mindful of the fact that these dates are NOT published on DCSS PAAM. Make sure to pop these dates into your diary to avoid double booking yourself – it’s easily done.
  • Suntan lotion
  • Spare socks/footwear, underwear and waterproofs just in case
  • Wellies

Basically, stay ahead of the game with your transport, cover yourself in lotion, stay hydrated and you’ll be good to go!

I wanted to write personally to say a huge thank you to you and your brilliant team for all your hard work to enable to deliver, in such a short space of time, a wonderful Royal Windsor Horse Show.

When we started the planning, we honestly had no idea whether we could or could not run and had so many changes it must have made it almost impossible for your team – however as always they adapted and overcame the many hurdles that we presented, with a smile and a complete can do attitude and many people are saying that it was one of the best show’s that they have ever been to.

Everybody I have spoken to has said how fantastic the cleaning was and that the loos were immaculate, and the showground looked as good on the last day as it did on the first day – which is exactly what any organiser strives to achieve. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was delivered with a smile. Your cleaners were tremendous once again. Even with the date change and the added bonus (!) of COVID everything was delivered on time.
