Circuit Presentation

What we must bear in mind as professional circuit operators is "First Impressions Last". For a small fee one of our experienced consultants will visit your circuit and carry out a presentation audit. Included in the inspection fee is a discussion (if required) on the improvements needed to bring that finishing touch to your circuit, or a more in-depth presentation can be prepared to reflect your corporate budget.

Inspection

At various times during your circuit's membership of the NKA, say as a result of an accident, you may require an independent inspection of your venue for safety purposes to satisfy the Health and Safety Executive. A chargeable inspection can be made incorporating all aspects of circuit operation, including:-

• a. Track layout
• b. Suitability and Safety
• c. Marshal and staff training
• d. Health and Safety Regulations Act

This inspection could be made in consultation with a Health and Safety Official and result in a written report.

Staff Training

It is widely recognised throughout the industry that training plays a major and important role in a company's success or failure. Why not let our experienced consultants visit your circuit and run staff training days. How many times do you wish you had an answer when a problem arises that you have not had to face before? Well-trained staff are well-motivated staff. The programme will cover any of the following:

• a. Instruction - The Instructor is the public face of your organisation and his or her briefing will determine success or failure of any group.
  REMEMBER instruction is not an art it is a discipline.
• b. Marshals - The safety of clients and the smooth running of any event depends on the attitude of your marshals. Our in-depth training day and standardised reaction will result in safer and better organised events. If unfortunately, you do suffer an accident or fatality at your circuit, you will be able to face any enquiries or consequences with a clear conscience. On successful completion, a training certificate will be issued to each independent marshal, for display at your circuit.
• c. Mechanics - Everyone knows any "carpenter" can maintain a fleet of karts with a selection of hammers and nails, or at least that seems to be the opinion of some circuit operators, but this is obviously not the case. Correct procedure and planned maintenance will save you effort, time and money.

Circuit Management

The fine line between profitability and loss in most businesses is well defined. Providing you make your sales, the markets supply you with enough profit to operate comfortably.

However, with karting, especially in rented/leased accommodation and the uniform business rate, together with the clients' desire for a well lit premises, make it very difficult to maintain profitability, let alone sustain reasonable growth.

Gain from the many years of operating experience of the NKA committee, all of which are successful circuit operators.
