For all clients, we offer a complete event security package, one that’s based on years of expertise in crowd management and event planning. Every proposal results from careful deliberation and the application of industry best practices.
We will visit the venue to conduct a complete event security survey in preparation for any event. Public safety is our highest priority, and we work closely with organisers, local authorities and other agencies to compile an event security plan that addresses various potential risks.

The Key Areas of Event Security in the UK
The Past Events We've Successfully Support With Security
Our event security team has worked on some of the best and biggest events throughout the UK. We have experience across multiple sectors, from music concerts to cycling tours, with clients small and large. Some of our previous work includes the Clacton Air Show, a two-day event in Essex watched by crowds of over 200,000. With London hosting the 2012 Olympic Games, we were thrilled to provide event security for the famous torch relay as it passed through Ipswich. We worked at a Paloma Faith concert when she performed at the Ipswich Regent Theatre, producing a detailed security plan to prepare all staff and ensure fans queued safely and entered the venue smoothly and controlled.
We've secured concerts involving local lad Ed Sheeran, undoubtedly one of our all-time favourite events to support! The homecoming concert was so popular that an extra date had to be put on. Our event security team regularly works on the LeeStock Music Festival, an annual festival in Suffolk that helps raise money for the Willow Foundation. With thousands in attendance, we ensured the crowd behaved themselves and safely enjoyed a wonderful weekend. We've provided security for the Men's and Women's Cycling Tours in Suffolk, ensuring people could watch the race without a hitch. We relished the challenge of keeping people safe across miles of land on multiple days.
This is just a taste of the diverse and impressive events we've supported in the UK!
How We Ensure a Swift and Effective Emergency Response
Thousands of people may attend a single event, and with several potential risks like medical incidents, fires and criminal behaviour, effective emergency response procedures must be in place. These procedures ensure people's health and well-being are looked after, and when emergencies arise, they are brought under control quickly and appropriately. We always create a thorough and robust emergency response plan during the event planning stage. Our team will formulate a contingency plan tailored to your unique event and site. We work closely with event organisers, local authorities and emergency services to understand all concerns and roles, ensuring different perspectives are taken onboard and everyone is on the same wavelength.
With proper planning and coordination with all relevant external partners, we ensure that when the event arrives, everything is in place to deal with emergencies in the best possible way. Our work includes establishing clear communication protocols and strategically positioning emergency response teams throughout the event site. We employ guards who are highly experienced and trained in dealing with various emergency scenarios and are equipped with adequate gear and equipment. The combination of planning, training and execution means we can swiftly respond to situations like crowd disturbances, provide urgent medical treatment to attendees and maintain order even under pressure.
