New contract sniffing out illegal meat in Far East Proud to support football safety as FSOA sponsor Wagtail UK’s sister company, Event Detection Dogs, is a proud partner of the Football Safety Officers Association, and was delighted to be one of the sponsors of its recent Conference & Exhibition. The FSOA works to improve all aspects of stadium safety, and features membership of more than 350 football and sports clubs from all leagues. Event Detection Dogs was launched in 2018 and soon after became a partner organisation of the FSOA. This partnership has allowed us to build strong relationships with dozens of football clubs who hire our dogs to sniff for drugs, pyrotechnics and explosives at grounds up and down the UK. As a sponsor of the FSOA’s monthly newsletter, we are proud to play a part in supporting the not-for-profit Association with its vital ongoing work to keep spectators safe at sports grounds, whilst we were also delighted to act as a sponsor of the FSOA’s recent Spring AGM Conference & Exhibition, held in Stratford-upon-Avon on March 19th and 20th. The event brings together hundreds of football Safety Officials, as well as dozens of partner organisations, all experts in football safety, and we have already signed up to exhibit at, and sponsor, the organisation’s next event in October. As part of that sponsorship deal, EDD will fund a boat trip along the River Avon which gives guests the chance to network with each other, whilst learning more about the company and other exhibitors from the event safety and security industry. EDD MD, Collin Singer, said: “We are proud of our partnership with the FSOA and delighted to be able to support its pivotal work improving all aspects of safety for the tens of thousands of sports fans who flock to grounds every week.” Wagtail UK Ltd || www.wagtailuk.com|| +44(0) 1745 561166 09 Wagtail UK Ltd has successfully secured a second contract for 2019 to supply detection dogs to a government agency in the Far East. It comes after the company secured a separate contract to provide dogs to detect ‘live animals’, including mammals, birds, reptiles and more. The latest contract requires the dogs to detect ‘illegal meat’, and will see the dogs working on a number of international boundary/border control points. The smuggling of meat significantly increases the risk of spreading the Avian Flu Virus. The dogs will be able to detect a number of different meats including chicken, beef, pork and duck and more. The smuggling of meat is a highly lucrative, illegal trade that is often funding international organised crime and/or terrorism. oni clum, senduce rituus, Ca
