[Virtual Presenter] Hello and welcome to our Internal Business Presentation for the month of August 2025. Today, we will be sharing an overview of the Senior Leadership Team's progress and presenting our Board Report. This is a significant opportunity for us to review our accomplishments and address any obstacles we may be encountering. We value your time and focus as we strive towards our shared objectives. Without delay, let's begin our presentation. Thank you for being here with us..
[Audio] During the second slide of our August 2025 Senior Leadership Team Board Report, we discussed the outcomes of the monthly board meeting and provided updates on our business development and marketing efforts. The Business Development & Marketing team, led by David Fisher, presented on the progress of new proposals such as the Jockey Club CCS Framework, the Crown Commercials ESPO Framework, and the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation. Unfortunately, one bid is still pending document issue. Moving on to tenders, we currently have several in progress, including live bids for Adult Skills Funding boot camps. We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded funding for the boot camps and have already signed contracts for £250k. We have also recently submitted a tender, but have not yet submitted any new ones this month. Additionally, we have not applied for any unsuccessful tenders, but we have successfully won both permanent and temporary contracts, demonstrating our strong performance in securing business. This concludes our updates for this slide. Please stay tuned for more updates in the rest of our board report..
[Audio] David Fisher will be discussing Change Management in slide 3 of our presentation. This section will focus on the development of the company's central repository, known as the CMS. The CMS will serve as the main source of company information and MS Forms will be used as a linking tool to automatically upload all relevant documents. This will enable statistical analysis using Power BI and our long-term goal is to incorporate an AI Assistant for managers to access information directly from the system. Stage 1 of this project is expected to be completed by the end of September and we are also updating assignment instructions and risk assessments to align with compliance standards. A review of the onboarding process will also take place. While the Troxy and Space NK pieces are still in progress due to other business commitments, we anticipate completing AI and induction videos by early October. Our new collaboration with HR will focus on employee well-being, social behaviors, and support by rewriting job descriptions and implementing support programs for topics such as sexual harassment and work-life balance. Completed contract works and job descriptions will be sent for review and individual meetings will be conducted to ensure everyone is on board with the changes. Our next topic, the ACS rollout, will emphasize the daily effort needed to excel in the ACS arena rather than just preparing for audits. This will promote team excellence and collaboration. The review of ACS compliance has already begun and David Fisher will be meeting with the Operations Team to discuss this. Due to the HR and Skills bootcamp, there has been a slight delay, but this process will commence soon. Slide 3 has now concluded and we will now move on to slide 4..
[Audio] This is the Monthly Board Meeting for August 2025, where updates and developments within our Senior Leadership Team and HR department will be discussed. Slide number 4 shows the 50% decrease in LTS investigations and no change in disciplinary appeals, indicating a stable work environment. There has been a significant 500% increase in new starters, with 38 employees joining our team at Space NK Birmingham and Rosewood Holborn sites, showcasing our company's growth. However, there has also been a rise in employees leaving the company due to our fast-paced onboarding process and effort to find the best fit for each location. In conclusion, August has been a busy month with both positive and challenging developments, and we will continue to strive towards a strong and united team that aligns with our company values and goals. Thank you for your attention. This concludes the HR summary for August. We welcome any feedback and suggestions..
[Audio] In August 2025, our HR department experienced a rise in the number of employee files requiring vetting. This was due to an increase in interviews and new site deployment needs. However, despite the higher volume, we are proud to announce a decrease in the average time it takes to vet each employee profile. This improvement can be attributed to our new onboarding template, which has streamlined the process and allowed for quicker deployment of staff to different sites. In regards to our reward and recognition segment, we are pleased to announce Kingsley Emeka as our employee of the month for August 2025. Kingsley has shown great versatility and dedication in his work across multiple sites. He is a valuable member of our team. Looking at the data from the past three months, we can see a significant increase in the number of files we screened in August (182), with a notable decrease in the average time it took (42 days). In comparison to July, we had a 91.58% increase in new files being screened and a 50% decrease in the average time taken. We are also proud to report that there were no TUPE transfers or redundancies during this period, showcasing the success of our screening and vetting process in ensuring the right employees for our team. Thank you for joining us for this update on our screening and vetting process. This concludes slide number 5 of our Senior Leadership Team Board Report for August 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress..

Compared to September, there was a slight decrease of 0.3344% in registered users. However, users who started some courses increased by 20% and those who haven't started any decreased by 0.75%. The results for the Online Staff Knowledge Hub in August show that 11.86% have passed courses, 10.75% are in progress, 0.56% have failed, and 76.83% have not started.

As we approach August 2025, apprenticeships for office staff will be launched, including Security Manager (Level 3), HR Support (Level 3), and Business Administrator (Level 2). These programs will provide valuable learning and practical experience for our employees. Additionally, tailored apprenticeship pathways for security operatives in retail, hospitality, and events will not only strengthen our workforce but also offer career growth opportunities. We have also secured funding for Skills Bootcamps to upskill our current staff for priority roles and strengthen our internal talent pipeline. As Operations Managers, we kindly ask you to compile a list of interested and eligible individuals for each apprenticeship route to facilitate enrolments and create a suitable schedule for our employees. Let's move on to the next slide to learn more about our progress and plans for the future..
[Audio] This is slide number 10 of our August 2025 Senior Leadership Team Board Report, which focuses on the sales performance for the month of August. In August, our company earned £5,244 in profit and completed a total of 12 appointments, including securing a new client, Kings Oak, over the phone. We also lost out on some quotes and tenders, but were able to secure a non-disclosure agreement with Abbey Road/Universal Music Group. Our sales team had a busy month with meetings and collaborations, including ones with Blackmore Global, Kontour Productions, Heritage Future, One Events/1 Marylebone, Magic Sound Entertainment, and Urban Parking. Additionally, we quoted for Figo Restaurant but did not secure the opportunity. Our team continues to provide services for regular clients such as Truman Brewery, Charlton FC, Borough Hall, and Dulwich Hamlet FC.

In addition, we had the opportunity to work on some exciting new projects such as Smitten Weddings, White Egg, and Bromsgrove Rugby Club, all as first-time clients. We also provided services for Kings Oak, an old customer, on four jobs. Despite losing out on some tenders and quotes, we are optimistic about our continuous growth and expansion as we strive to maintain strong relationships and provide quality services to our clients.

This is a great achievement and a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our teams. Like any business, there have been some issues, but we have been able to handle them effectively. The Duke of York store had one reported theft, but we were able to recover the stolen item and identify a potential second person involved, showcasing the effectiveness of our store security measures.

[Audio] Slide 15 of our internal business presentation for the Senior Leadership Team Board Report of August 2025 focuses on the operational performance of our stadiums for the past month. The Zob - Operations section shows the KPI scores for our various sites. Brentford FC had a KPI score of 5 with no lost hours or incidents and our client is happy with their performance, despite an oversupply of 3. Charlton Athletics FC also had a KPI score of 5 with no lost hours or incidents and our client is satisfied with their performance. At Dulwich Hamlet FC, there was one incident with flags that was quickly resolved by Anthony and our client is satisfied with our response.

In the HR section, there was one complaint of harassment at Wembley Stadium, which has been addressed by HR. One staff member also left early for a family commitment, which has been addressed by HR. We are committed to excellence and satisfaction for our clients and employees in all aspects of our operations..
[Audio] In this slide, we will discuss the Monthly Board Meeting and its focus on Zob - Operations and their suggestions and upcoming plans for Phase 2 of the Post-Mobilisation Staffing Strategy. The main objective of this phase is to have 60% of our staff dedicated to each stadium to avoid any scheduling conflicts. To achieve this, we have created a conceptual implementation plan with the following points: a Dedicated Pool made up of 60% of our staff exclusively assigned to one stadium, and a Flexible Pool with 40% of our staff who may be deployed across multiple stadiums if needed. To ensure proper scheduling, we will use a centralised system that will flag staff with multiple stadium assignments and lock dedicated staff to one venue to prevent double-booking. Weekly reviews of rosters will be conducted to maintain the 60% dedicated pool threshold and prevent cross-venue assignments for dedicated staff, using colour-coded dashboards or Excel filters to track compliance. It is crucial to communicate clearly with our staff, providing them with their stadium assignments and whether they are part of the dedicated or flexible pool, as well as visibility into their schedule and expectations. Moving forward, we have exciting projects, including Space NK - Marlebone (London), Space NK - Ongoing VM work, and Space NK - Westbourne Grove. We are confident that our staffing strategy will successfully manage these projects and ensure dedicated and efficient staff. Please continue to slide number 17 for updates on our progress and upcoming plans for Phase 2..
[Audio] On slide number 17, we have a table displaying important data about our various sites. At Troxy, there have been no major issues or complaints so far in August. Our meetings and onsite presence have effectively addressed any concerns. The O2 Arena has had no lost hours or incidents, and any last minute requests have been successfully managed due to our advanced planning and client-oriented approach. Moving on to The Jolly Gardeners, we are pleased to report that there have been no issues and our contact, Jon, has confirmed the same in our recent conversation. Our proactive communication approach has proven effective. At the Truman Brewery, there were 10 lost hours due to 1 incident, but after resolving the issue with Jonathan over email and phone, everything is running smoothly and the client is satisfied with our services. For the Smitten Weddings event, a client complaint about our staff not being on site for 2 days was resolved after providing evidence that our staff member had parked their car in a different location. There have been 3 lost hours and 1 incident at The Clermont Charing Cross due to staff using ear pods and a license breach, but these issues have been addressed with the staff and client, and a successful event is planned for October. At White Egg, there have been no issues and the client has expressed their satisfaction with our services, even requesting our staff member Danny for an event next year. Our strong client relationships have been beneficial. This concludes our update on site data for August. We will continue to work diligently to ensure the smooth operation of all our sites and maintain our high standards of service..
[Audio] Today, we will be discussing site visits and key performance indicators for the Monthly Board Meeting. Starting with Sutton, there are currently no scheduled site visits or incidents to report. However, we did experience some challenges with uploading, but with Ivan's assistance, we were able to gain access and conduct a test run. Moving on to Rosewood Holborn and Rosewood Chancery Mayfair, there have been no incidents since the sites were taken over.

[Audio] Ladies and Gentlemen, in slide number 20 of our August 2025 Senior Leadership Team Board Report, we will be discussing the Monthly Operations Report.

While we faced a few challenges, such as a small number of complaints and onboarding difficulties with new clients, we addressed and resolved them in a timely manner. Our dedication to continuous improvement and delivering exceptional service remains strong..
[Audio] The financial analysis of our company reveals the significant role played by the Directors in its success. They are responsible for making strategic decisions that impact the company's growth and profitability. Their financial expertise enables them to effectively manage and allocate resources, ensuring the financial stability of the company. Apart from their financial duties, the Directors also have operational responsibilities. This includes overseeing day-to-day operations, setting and achieving operational goals, and implementing efficient processes. Their continuous evaluation and improvement of these processes ensure the smooth and efficient operation of our company. Without the dedication and expertise of our Directors, our company would not have achieved its current success. Their guidance and leadership are crucial in driving our organization towards continued success. We look forward to working with our Senior Leadership Team and Board to achieve even greater success in the near future..

[Audio] Slide number 25 brings our attention to the current activities and decisions required for the VR CT Project. The first item on the agenda is to review the storyboard, ensuring that it includes all necessary activities for developing environments. This is crucial for achieving our project goals. We will also be discussing the consideration of Haptic devices that are best suited for use with VR headsets, which will greatly enhance the user experience and improve the project's effectiveness.

In conclusion, these are the current activities and decisions required for the VR CT Project. We look forward to receiving feedback and decisions from the board as we move forward..
[Audio] The Senior Leadership Team Board Report for August 2025 will be the focus of today's training video. Our discussion will start on slide number 26, where we will review the data collected over the past three months. In the first table, no reviews were received for the months of June and July. However, in August, there was a significant increase in positive feedback with 2 five-star reviews and 1 two-star review. Moving on to the second table, we see a similar trend with no reviews in June and July, but a concerning pattern of no reviews in August. This may require further attention and analysis. The third table also follows a similar pattern with no reviews in the months of June, July, and August. This may indicate areas in need of improvement that could be impacting our overall performance. It is crucial to take into account the feedback and reviews provided, as they are a direct reflection of our work and efforts. Moving forward, let's work towards improvement in all aspects to ensure the success of our team and organization. Thank you for your attention, and let's proceed to the final slide of our presentation..
