We are delighted to announce that for the fourth year in a row,
Rugby First has received the Gold standard result for the British Standards
audit (BS 7958).
During the non-compulsory audit, an independent auditor from the
Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board looks at every detail of the CCTV
operation. This includes training and competence of the CCTV operators, the
procedures of data release as well as the general health and safety of the
employees and office environment. We would like to thank our operations team
for their continued high standards in achieving this accreditation.

Quigleys in Albert Street has had a makeover. The exterior has been painted a slate grey, music inspired murals decorate the downstairs bar and there is a brand new terrace outside. With two different seating areas for up to 20 people, the stone tables each have their own firepit and there is a pergola roof adorned with fairy lights and artificial plants. A new street food menu is offered in the bar too.
