I arrive at the arena and complete building work immediately. I assess which tasks need to be completed and start to plan for the day ahead. I check my emails and go through the previous evening’s end-of-day reports.

The team and I complete the daily health and safety checks for the trampoline park and identify any potential issues. We then hold a short 10-minute briefi ng that is vital for the day’s activities.
