As rugby fever continues to sweep the nation this month, Accio Group has persisted in rapidly expanding their client portfolio with the addition of Arriva who provide transport services for the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
The project for Arriva involved the provision of a number of temporary weather canopies to ensure the safe and comfortable departure of fans as they streamed in their thousands to find transport home following the conclusion of the RBS Six Nations Wales Vs England match on 4 February.
In total, Accio Group provided weather relief for 14,000 people over a ninety minute period, as the combination of darkness, rain and wind swept over one of the most impressive stadiums in the UK. Not only did the structures provide shelter from the elements, but it also allowed Arriva staff to direct people through to the correct departure areas.
Simon Turton, Special Events Manager for Arriva Trains Wales, says:
“It was an excellent exercise in logistics, the canopies were excellent and I cannot praise your team too highly for their professionalism with the planning and execution of the task.”
Stephen Casey, Managing Director at Accio Group, said: “Accio Group is renowned for the ability to deliver and our commitment to this project ensured Arriva Trains could manage a significant increase in demand on their facilities. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Arriva during 2011 for other locations.”
