Wembley Stadium

CLEANING THE NATIONAL STADIUMCE Cleaning were awarded the cleaning contract when

the new Wembley Stadium first opened its doors in

2007. The new stadium has a seated capacity of 90,000,

making it Europe’s second largest sports stadium.

Wembley is not only a football stadium, it is also the

Head Office for the English FA and other leading

sports bodies plus a busy conference and events venue.

Wembley Stadium is also the daily workplace for over

650 people.

Wembley Stadium is of course cleaned every day by the CE

Cleaning team, not just on match days or when hosting a concert

or special event. CE Cleaning is responsible for the cleaning of all

areas in the stadium which includes:

MAKING WEMBLEY A SAFER PLACE FOR VISITORSWhen we launched our partnership with Wembley Stadium they

expressedtwomainconcerns.Firstly,theywereconcernedabout

slips and falls on the concourse floors, particularly when wet.

During match and event days, these areas enjoy high volumes

of visitors and can become wet and slippery putting the health

and safety of visitors at risk. CE Cleaning identified an innovative

solutionofclear,epoxyresin.Thesolutioncreatesaslipresistant

surface when applied to both indoor and outdoor surfaces.

After the application of the resin, the floors of the stadium

were slip, scratch and stain resistant, which subsequently led

to a significant reduction in slips, trips and fall claims against

Wembley, and also made the floors easier to keep clean.

WEMBLEY PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT The second concern was the size of the stadium’s carbon footprint and impact on the local environment. To address this concern CE Cleaning created a “Wembley Green Team” responsible for reducing the environmental impact from the stadium.

CE Cleaning staff include environmental patrols in our daily scope of work which includes switching off unused equipment and lights, reporting unnecessary air conditioning to the building services team and encouraging and educating the building’s occupants to be environmentally aware. By introducing these measures, we contributed to reducing the stadiums carbon emissions and the environmental patrol is now a vital part of the team’s daily routine.
