"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.

We’ve supported clients in Clacton-on-Sea and throughout the region with security. From guarding properties to managing high-profile events, our team has delivered outstanding protection and client satisfaction.
Our event security team ensured the successful running of multiple events at Wherstead Park, a Grade-II listed Georgian mansion nestled in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. It is one of East Anglia's most popular and versatile venues for weddings, conferences, events, parties and filming. In addition to being the headquarters for the Co-op Group, it houses many other businesses on-site.
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.
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.
Clacton Air Show is an annual event held between Clacton Pier and the Martello Tower. Typically, the two-day event attracts audiences of around 200,000. Recognising a need to maintain a safe public environment, Tendering District Council appointed Stage Security to provide SIA-licensed security staff to help manage the event on the day and to provide overnight security for the event arena, the exhibitors and their goods.
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.
