Liverpool goes quackersover first ever Duck RaceA massive 40,000 ducks raced along a stretch of the Leeds-Liverpool canal for
charity in Liverpool’s first ever duck race, helping to raise £70,000 for Claire House
Hospice along the way.
Claire House Hospice cares for children with life limiting and life threatening illness
across the Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and The Isle of Man. Around 280
fundraisers ‘sold’ the ducks as sponsorship to abseil down the Liver Building.
Actor Paddy McGuinness started the race on the Pier Head and the 300 metre
course took some ducks 40 minutes to complete. Always keen to show full
support, A1TM’s MD, Simon Gilford was happy to abseil for the cause.
A1TM provided the traffic management in and around the area, having been
involved in the planning process from an early stage. A1TM’s close working
partnership with Joint Advisory Group and Safety Advisory Group helped in
obtaining relevant permissions and streamlined the process.
Over 50,000 people attended the third annual Cholmondeley Pageant of
Power in Cheshire, which proved to be a fabulous celebration of motoring,
powerboat racing and aerial displays, together with a Military Tattoo and
fireworks concert finale.

Cholmondeley’s Third Pageant of Power is amassive success with action on track, water and air
A1TM supports the successfulOn The Waterfront weekends
A1TM will sponsor Preston’s Santa Dash
once again this Christmas and a
number of A1TM staff will be spotted
donning Santa outfits and running for
local cancer hospice, St Catherine’s.
A1TM has been very busy this summer with the traffic management for the City
of Liverpool’s numerous large-scale outdoor events. Through July and August,
the free ‘On The Waterfront’ event drew massive crowds.
The first weekend included arts and culture performances including a ground-
breaking aerial spectacular and a world record attempt pirate muster.
The Albert Dock and Pier Head saw a celebration of music and movement for
the second weekend, with an international dance spectacular, with world
famous performances and a Chinese theme on the Sunday.
The events required road closures and diversions centred around the Pier Head
area for the duration of the weekend and as ever, the work was done on a
timely and accurate basis.
A wide variety of classic cars, pre-war
racing cars, vintage and classic
motorcycles took turns in racing around
the specially created track, running
through the stately home grounds of
Cholmondeley Castle.
Overhead, a steady stream of aerial
displays, including the Battle of Britain
Hurricane, Royal Navy Black Cat
helicopters and the Breitling Wing-
walkers’ display team gave the visitors
yet more entertainment to enjoy.
Following their outstanding performance
at Liverpool’s Pageant of Power taster
event, A1TM was commissioned to
design and implement the traffic
management for this ever-growing
extravaganza. They were highly praised
for their effort and commitment to safety.
A1TM have forged a
strong partnership

This Autumn A1TM has helped councils across the country to light up the skies
safely on Bonfire Night. A1TM has provided traffic management and control for
displays in Leyland and Blackburn in Lancashire, Tamworth, Staffordshire and
Salford in Greater Manchester.
In Seon Park, Liverpool, 10,000 people watched the Hallowe’en Lantern
Carnival. The October event saw spooky carnival bands, costumed dancers
and illuminated giant puppets followed by hundreds of people carrying their
handmade lanterns.
“Providing a safe environment for people to enjoy these events is our upmostpriority. People judge the success of an event on how easily they got to andfrom it, so it is of prime importance to us to keep people moving.”
