DRPG DELIVERS LIVE EVENT FOR WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS
Socially distanced station staff at Toddington
GWSR EXPANDS SERVICES TO CHELTENHAM RACECOURSE AND BROADWAY STATIONS The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR) have expanded its services following the successful resumption of train services on its 14-mile railway through the Cotswolds, in April. Services since then have comprised a round trip starting and finishing at Toddington station. The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway is a volunteer operated heritage railway in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire offering a round trip of 28 miles. It uses part of the route of the former Great Western Railway's main line from Birmingham to Cheltenham which used to run via Stratford-upon-Avon. Richard Johnson, Voluntary Chairman of GWSR Plc, commented: “As government guidance changes we are able to adjust the service we offer. “We plan to offer two steam trains on each operating day (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) and with two additional travel packages, from Broadway and Cheltenham Racecourse. It’s another positive and exciting step on the journey to full, unrestricted train services.” www.gwsr.com

DRPG was able to dust off the flight cases and deliver one of the first live physical events of 2021. The event was the end of season awards for football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. In pre-Covid times this event is attended by a mixture of players, sponsors and fans. Due to the pandemic and following guidelines, this had to be limited to the club sponsors only. The event was still a milestone opportunity to celebrate the club and what it achieved this season. Blending a traditional awards format with full production values and presenting pre-recorded films from players. The event included a drinks reception and a sit-down dinner on tables of six with social distancing in place.
STAYING AGILE AS THE MARKET CHANGES USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Emma Stanley, Producer at DRPG, supported the event and talked about the excitement around the delivery:
Last year businesses had cause for concern as they reacted to the pandemic. The business landscape for many, literally changed overnight. Inturi Technology are predicting that this year businesses can become more agile by looking inward at the infrastructure they have and making investments in process efficiencies and streamlining.
“We have quite a jam-packed week with events happening. It’s good to get back to delivering live experiences again. Although there are additional factors to consider now, everyone is glad to be producing great experiences for clients again. We are all adapting, and it’s great to be working with Wolves again, supporting with bringing their brand and club values to life.” DRPG have manoeuvred around the pandemic and been able to help many clients with virtual solutions. This week has seen a gradual return to live experiences, and long may it continue. www.drpgroup.com
Clare Kay, CEO of Inturi Technology, says: “By looking at your processes and isolating issues that cause bottlenecks, you will see the bigger picture and come out stronger for it. Office based manual repetitive, low value and error prone tasks can be automated, saving you time and money. More concise data handling will also be proactive for staff morale, and this will naturally pass on to customer satisfaction.” Using Dynamics 365 as a hub, and integrating legacy platforms, will mean all data becomes consolidated and can be seen on one dashboard, across all media devices - phone, tablet and laptop. Remote staff and field operatives will be able to see all information in real-time, so communication is maintained, companywide. In a data-driven culture, businesses from SME’s to global enterprises will benefit from digitally transforming their systems to gain agility and increase ROI. www.inturi.co.uk
