Heald's Matador Protects The World Snooker Championships

Heald Ltd News and PR from Heald Ltd - Published 06 August 2018 Earlier this year, Heald were delighted to be approached by Sheffield City Council to secure the World Snooker Championships at The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield.
The Matador, perfect for short-term events due to its surface mount install, was installed for four weeks whilst the championships took place from 21st April until 7th May.

Available as both a static and sliding bollard solution, Sheffield City Council opted for an array of two central sliding bollards and three static bollards to allow the free flow of pedestrian access through the bollards, but for the sliding element to allow access to permitted vehicles such as VIP’s and emergency response vehicles.

Michael Crofts, Director of Business Strategy and Regulation at Sheffield City Council said: “It is top priority that our participants and visitors feel safe and secure when attending major events in Sheffield and security is always at the forefront of our plans, particularly with high profile events such as the World Snooker Championship. Working with Heald Ltd to implement a robust security system allowed us to bring peace of mind and deliver a world class event”.

Nigel Oldfield, Operations Director for World Snooker Ltd commented: “World Snooker were delighted with the installation of the Matador and we were also impressed with the excellent service we received from Heald”.
