Customer feedback
Rob Oates , Commercial Director at Headingley Stadium : “ We have , and continue to invest a significant amount to ensure Headingley Stadium meets the strict criteria for both test cricket and Super League rugby . We need to ensure every level of detail is commissioned to be as secure as possible both now and , in the future , without compromising on aesthetics and finishing styles .
“ MB-Locks , together with Mul-T-Lock , demonstrated the advantages of MTL500 , and I was especially impressed with the flexibility of the master key system and its ability to incorporate all of our key access requirements . MTL500 master key suite is now installed in the stadium ’ s hospitality areas and stands , with minimum disruption to the dual ground operations .”
Philip Goldberg , Managing Director of MB Locks added : “ The Headingley Stadium is a unique challenge , as both the Leeds
Rhinos Rugby League Club and Yorkshire County Cricket Club have very different needs and requirements for the project in terms of security , accessibility and aesthetics . We worked on both sides of the stand including boxes , changing rooms , hospitality areas and concourses ; a complex brief .
“ The benefit of working with Mul-T-Lock is our long-standing relationship , meaning that the specification could be quickly translated with the technical and sales team to design a master key suite , using MTL500 as a protective opportunity to meet the requirements . It can provide the ultimate in security , but also it offers a high-quality access control system with a huge number of useable combinations .”
Summary & conclusion
What this example shows is the specification for Headingley Stadium , especially for the hospitality areas was exceptional high . And this all had to be considered with top levels of security and access control for corporate and players ’ entrances .
Mul-T-Lock worked with EM-B Locks to deliver the tailor-made solution that could accommodate the different access requirements , all without compromising on aesthetics or security . And all ultimately operating off the high protection MTL500 master key system to offer the highest level of patent protection throughout the dual stadium premises .
It also delivers on a futureproof venue that has led the way to welcoming back guests to enjoy their sports in a safe and secure environment .
In summary , it ’ s fair to say that professional sports have always offered a point of community and connection for so many . So as we look to “ complete the transition back towards normality ” there is a signal to fans and players alike that we have beaten the pandemic .
We held out hope for the day when teams could once again take to the field and be supported by their loyal fans . Now it has come around , whilst it may not be as it used to be with extra safety measures in place , careful consideration early in the specification process of security , will ensure the business of sports can once again become a joyful experience .
