— House Manager, Ipswich Regent Theatre
"Thank you to your two guys who were patrolling Christchurch Park today. They were very friendly and approachable. They took time to speak to the young people who were enjoying being in the park.

— Lisa Cooper

"Kieran was the best front-of-house SIA security staff member we have worked with for years. He was attentive in what was going on, helpful and approachable with the customers. The little jobs I often have to remind staff to do just happened without prompt, he wasn't in a rush to leave for his later job, and he wasn't constantly on his phone in front of the customers."
— Shaun Whymark, Ipswich Regent Theatre

Thank you once again."

Our security company has delivered a diverse range of protection services for businesses throughout Bury St Edmunds and the wider area. Below are a few examples of successful projects completed by our team.
FDS has continued to exceed client expectations in offering premium home goods at affordable prices since 2008. Based at Port One Logistics Park in Great Blakenham, FDS import thousands of household products through the Port of Felixstowe. As the business expanded, they wanted to partner with a trusted local security provider capable of meeting their requirements. Stage has supported the business since 2022.
Ipswich’s annual Music in the Park festival (also known as Ipswich Music Day) takes place on the first Sunday of July each year. One of the largest, free, one-day music events in the country, it is held at Christchurch Park. Stage Security was approached by the organisers and asked to provide on-site security. The organisers wanted to develop a robust site security plan that would minimise public risk and make provision for issues such as lost persons/property, first aid, and potential access by emergency service vehicles.
Launched in 2014, The Women's Tour is an international team cycling competition that covers almost 600km (370 miles) over five stages on consecutive days. Our brief was to provide safe start and finish conditions for the racers, a task that entailed working in 10 towns across East Anglia. We developed effective, location-specific crowd-control strategies and created secure areas for vehicles, bicycles, and competitors before and after each stage.
Back in 2012, in readiness for the London Olympics, a variety of athletes, celebrities and ordinary citizens carried the Olympic Torch the length of Britain. It passed through Ipswich on 5th July, watched by an estimated 75,000 spectators. Ahead of the event, the organisers contacted Stage Security and asked us to provide a security plan for the route through the town and into the neighbouring park. They also required support on the day, helping to manage crowds and keep both the torch and the runners safe.
The Ipswich Maritime Festival is an annual event which takes place over the August bank holiday weekend. There are also opportunities to watch the arrival of spectacular sailing yachts, to sample local art and to enjoy maritime-themed markets. The festival organisers appointed us to develop a local security plan and to provide stewards on the day to help ensure the safety of all participants.
1 Big Multicultural Festival has become an annual public event that draws together people from different faiths and community backgrounds. Stage Security implemented effective security solutions for the entire event.
