We are proud to announce that we have signed a three-year deal with National League football club Solihull Moors to provide security for all of its 23 home league games and cup competitions.
This contract will create thirty new part-time roles for stewards, as well as providing specialist SIA-licensed response teams, CCTV control operators, supervisors and a dedicated event manager.
Kicking-off with the Birmingham City home friendly on July 16th for the Arthur Cup, our partnership will also explore how we can work together to raise money for the Solihull Moors Foundation.
“We have a rich history of supporting high profile boxing and sporting events but have never before entered into a partnership with a football club – it seems fitting that the first one is with our hometown club Solihull Moors,” explained Iain McCallister, CEO and founder of MAN Commercial Protection.
“Chairman Darryl Eales and I have known each other for some time and have started to forge closer ties through our joint involvement with the Solihull Chamber of Commerce. We got talking about next season’s security arrangements and how we would look after it, including some high-profile fixtures with big away followings. In short, the partnership made perfect sense.”
He continued: “We are keeping training local too, with the 30 new part-time stewards we’re planning to recruit obtaining their Stewarding NVQ Level 2 training at Solihull College.”
In addition to the security services, we are excited to have agreed a three-year commercial deal with ‘the Moors’, becoming sponsor of the East Stand, which will be renamed The MAN Commercial Protection Stand in time for the new season.
Darryl Eales, Chairman of Solihull Moors FC, concluded: “We are really pleased to appoint local company MAN Commercial Protection as our Official Safety and Security Partner. They bring so many different skills and so much big event experience to the table yet, most importantly, they are passionate about Solihull and the areas we serve. This was really important for us and, together, I believe we can have an even bigger impact on the place we both call home.”
