Earls Court, part of EC&O Venues, has announced the appointment of Exhibition Traffic Management Services (ETMS) as its official marshalling contractor as of 1 January 2007. ETMS will provide year-round parking and marshalling services for Earls Court’s customers, contractors and exhibitors and will be based in the Seagrave Road car park.
The announcement coincides with £133,000 of investment to improve the marshalling and parking facilities at Seagrave Road car park and further demonstrates Earls Court’s commitment to working with industry leaders to provide high standards of customer service.
Rachel Parker, Customer Services Director, Earls Court said: “We work with ETMS on many events at Earls Court and I am delighted that in 2007 our partnership will become official. As experts in their field, ETMS will be a valuable addition to our car parks and traffic team, bringing with them years of experience and an indepth knowledge of our customers’ requirements.”
The permanent on site team means users of the car park are guaranteed seamless customer service from highly trained staff. Both ETMS and Earls Court are committed to having trained and experienced staff on site to assist with the marshalling of vehicles, as they are often the first point of contact for exhibitors and contractors arriving at the venue.
Gerry Kilsby, Managing Director of ETMS added: “We have an established relationship with the team at Earls Court and are looking forward to working with them on a permanent basis. With over 20 years experience in this specialised sector, our proactive and highly skilled team will work with the venue to enhance the parking and marshalling facilities at Earls Court.”
