Temple Bar London CIS Security

Limited - City of London Corporation

On Friday 10th March - CIS were proud to announce the “Grand Opening of the Gates” at The Temple Bar, in the presence of HRH The Duke of Gloucester KG GCVO FRIBA and The RT Hon The Lord Mayor, Alderman Nicholas Lyons.

CIS were delighted to be involved with our premier client, British Land, and their Bright Lights Programme at Regent’s Place.

The Bright Lights Programme is one of British Land’s initiatives to get local people into employment and on the 20th February, this year’s initiative started at Regents Place. This was a two-week programme where over 15 people were referred through different avenues to spend time at Regents Place to meet service partners, receive coaching on interview techniques, CV writing, etc, and to spend at least two days gaining invaluable work experience.

The programme aims to give individuals who are ‘work‐ready’ but do not have the relevant vocational skills or qualifications, the opportunity to develop the skills and experience in a hands‐on practical way to enable them to move into a sustainable job at Regents Place.

The initiative continues to support Regents Place’s employment based theme ‘Aspirational Employment’, supporting British Land’s overarching Social Sustainability strategy.

British Land deliver needs-based employment programmes across all campuses to break down employment barriers and empower local people to access local opportunities.

Following the two week programme which culminated in a celebration ceremony, CIS have offered employment to both Ghulam and Mohammad and we look forward to welcoming back both for their site induction.

John REYNOLDS MSyl, Head of Security at Regents Place, said,” This is a thoroughly worthwhile programme to which CIS and the team here at Regents Place are committed to. Ghulam and Mohammad both have great experience and fantastic skill sets that we can harness and develop their potential in the security industry.”

A huge well done to all involved!
