Silverstone Circuit, the home of British motorsport and host venue to the Formula 1 British Grand Prix has renewed with TEAMcard in an expanded agreement that will cover Access Control, Accreditation, Visitor Management and Verification services for the entire 155-acre site.

Silverstone partnered with TEAMcard for venue access control in 2021, setting the foundations for a successful partnership that saw two record-breaking summers for racing fans entering the circuit.

“Working with TEAMcard has been a real game-changer for us. We have a whole host of different events that take place across the year attracting all sizes of crowds, from domestic race meetings to major events like Silverstone Festival,  MotoGP and Formula 1. Regardless off the event size, the TEAMcard access control solution works seamlessly every time – we know we can really trust it” – Matthew Evans, Business Systems Manager at Silverstone

Now moving towards a third year in partnership, Silverstone have expanded their relationship with TEAMcard by activating the use of additional modules in the TEAMcard product stack – Accreditation, Visitor Management and Verification. These new modules will allow Silverstone to organise, manage and record the movements of every person arriving at the circuit, 365 days a year from a single system.

“Working closely with everyone at TEAMcard has allowed us to better understand the wider product stack, and how their other solutions could work alongside access control to benefit our whole business. Stacking other modules like Accreditation, Visitor Management and Verification is allowing us to streamline more processes, collect better data and create better customer experiences across the board” – Mike McEachern, Head of IT at Silverstone

On working with the support and technical teams at TEAMcard, Mike added

“The beauty of TEAMcard’s partnership approach is that we are always playing a proactive role in developing what future versions of the solution look like. We always feel listened to, and the collaboration means we know we are getting a product that works for us now, but is also going to work for us in the future”

Rob Byrne, CEO of TEAMcard commented on how the business is “incredibly proud” to be expanding its relationship with such an iconic venue.

“It is a privilege to be working with an iconic and globally recognised venue like Silverstone, and we are incredibly proud to be extending that relationship to further build on the work we do together with them. I think we are most proud of the way Silverstone are embracing the full TEAMcard stack and combining multiple elements of the offering to create a fully connected venue management system. It’s a great example of how a forward-thinking organisation like Silverstone can fully benefit from the wider TEAMcard offering”
