“We’ve been able to integrate our 24/7 Software system seamlessly across Chester Racecourse thanks to the excellent onboarding support and ease of use of this brilliant package,’ says Matthew Jones, head of health and safety at Chester Racecourse.
“24/7 Software has revolutionised our Silver Control Room and the way we communicate with colleagues and guests, whilst ensuring we have auditable records that mean we can really learn lessons to enhance the guest experience on site, as well as the health, safety, and security of our colleagues, guests, and contractors.”
