Mark Hamilton, Managing Director, G4S Events, comments: “This is an exciting contract for us and we are looking forward to working at such a prestigious cricket ground. We are confident that our wide range of event and security services offers Yorkshire County Cricket Club added value and will ensure a high level of service to the ground’s visitors.”

2010 is a big year for Headingley Carnegie Cricket Ground. Visitors will see the culmination of the ground redevelopment works that have taken place over the last 18 months. The new Carnegie Pavilion will be officially opened during the Test Match in July and the stand that used to be known as the Lower Wintershed will sit below the new structure and reopen as a members’ enclosure renamed to honour Fred Trueman. These top class new facilities and spectator seating areas require top class stewarding and management. 

Stewart Regan, Chief Executive of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, said: “We were keen to employ a provider that could offer an all round solution, one that went beyond traditional stewarding services, but also one with a local presence so that we can offer the highest standard of service to anyone visiting Headingley Carnegie Cricket Ground. We’re delighted that G4S Events, given their commitment to employing from within the local community, can meet those demands. We very much look forward to working with them over the next three years.”
