Frequently Asked Questions
What types of events do you provide security for?
We provide event security services for every event type across the UK. Our team of security professionals provides coverage for corporate events, conferences, product launches, festivals, concerts, sporting fixtures, weddings, private parties, charity functions, and community gatherings. From 50-person corporate meetings to 10,000+ capacity festivals, our event security company has experience providing private security for events of all scales. Our event security service will tailor its approach to your event’s specific needs, whether large or small, public or private. This means we can assist you with static security deployments or dynamic crowd management services.
How do you tailor your security services to my event?
We conduct an in-depth review of your event security requirements, considering your venue, attendees, and potential risks that could affect your event. We then develop a detailed, bespoke security strategy to address those risks in relation to your event’s operational objectives.
We tailor the ratio of event security guards to event stewards, crowd-management deployment, access-control protocols, and emergency-response procedures. This bespoke security solution ensures the first impression attendees receive matches your event standards, whilst our event security provides safety throughout the event. Our ability to tailor our services sets us apart as UK security leaders.
Are your security guards fully licensed?
Yes, absolutely. All our security personnel are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). Every event security guard undergoes regular security training to maintain certification. We ensure all security staff meet Security Industry Authority regulatory standards and complete ongoing professional development. Our team of security operatives are among the best-trained in the security sector, combining SIA security qualifications with practical experience delivering private security for events across the UK.
Are your security personnel trained in crowd management?
Yes, comprehensive crowd management training is core to our event security services. Our trained security personnel complete specialist programmes in crowd dynamics, flow management, queue control, emergency evacuation procedures, and conflict de-escalation. Our event security guards and event stewards are highly experienced in crowd management for events ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale festivals. This training keeps everyone at the event safe whilst maintaining positive attendee experiences. Our UK event security team has managed crowds at some of the country’s largest events, protecting thousands of attendees simultaneously.
Can you provide VIP security services?
Absolutely. VIP security is part of our full range of services. Our professional security team includes close protection officers trained in executive protection, threat assessment, and discreet operations, supporting VIP security for corporate executives, celebrity guests, and high-profile attendees at private functions. With discretion key to protecting your guests, we provide VIP security that ensures their safety while minimising unwanted attention. We also offer wedding security through our private security services, covering all types of events across the UK.
How do I hire security for my event?
You can reach our security management team by phone, email, or our online quote form. After we discuss your event security needs, the venue, expected attendee numbers, the event date and time, and any other specifics, we provide a detailed proposal outlining your event security solution, deployment plan, and pricing. Once you approve the proposal, we assign a dedicated security coordinator to manage your event security plan from initial planning through to the event, and we send you a post-event report afterwards. Our approach ensures your event security is handled effectively, so you can focus on running your event, with all services customised to fit your needs and budget.
What technology do you provide for event security management?
Event organisers receive access to our security management platform, which shows real-time GPS locations of all security personnel, deployment schedules, incident reporting, and communication tools. All event security guards carry body-worn cameras, encrypted radio systems, and mobile reporting devices. This reporting and footage are included in your event documentation, providing full operational transparency and enabling your crowd management teams to coordinate effectively and respond to incidents instantly at events with multiple zones or stages.
Can you handle last-minute event security requirements?
Our 24/7 security operations centre typically deploys event security within 24-48 hours for most areas of the UK. For existing clients, we have a standby team available for same-day call-outs where possible. We do encourage event security bookings as early as possible, so we can allocate our most experienced personnel, develop an effective bespoke security plan, and complete the necessary site surveys and risk assessments. Booking early ensures the most effective service and allows time to deliver event-specific briefings for each member of your security team. As part of our national network, we can deploy event security rapidly across all regions of the UK.
Do you provide security and stewarding services together?
Yes, we offer an all-in-one security and stewarding service for events throughout the UK. All our security personnel are licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) as event security guards and are also trained as event stewards for customer service, directions, and crowd management. This combined approach delivers comprehensive security whilst maintaining the friendly, helpful atmosphere event organisers want. Our security staff work seamlessly together, with event security guards handling security incidents whilst event stewards focus on positive attendee experiences, combining protection with excellent customer service.
How do you handle emergencies and evacuations at events?
We handle emergencies by planning for them in advance and acting quickly when they occur, so a medical incident, fire, or crowd surge never becomes a disaster. Every event we cover has an agreed emergency and evacuation plan, and our officers know their role in it before doors open.
Our emergency management covers 4 areas:
Pre-event planning agrees evacuation routes, muster points, and trigger thresholds with your event team and, where required, the Safety Advisory Group. Rapid response deploys trained officers to medical incidents, disturbances, and hazards, with first-aid capability and clear escalation to emergency services. Evacuation management keeps exit routes clear, calmly directs crowds to safe areas, and prevents crushing during mass movements. Emergency-service liaison coordinates the police, ambulance, and fire services and hands over cleanly when they arrive.
Every venue and event is different, so we rehearse the plan with your team and brief every officer on their responsibilities before the event begins.
