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 most prestigious events throughout the UK. We have experience across multiple sectors, from music concerts to cycling tours, serving clients of all sizes. Some of our previous work includes the Clacton Air Show, a two-day event in Essex, which is attended 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. An example of our concert security work is the Paloma Faith concert, where she performed at the Ipswich Regent Theatre. We developed a detailed security plan to prepare all staff and provided successful crowd management, ensuring fans queued safely and entered the venue smoothly.
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 added. 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 enjoyed a wonderful weekend safely. 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, including medical incidents, fires, and criminal behaviour, effective emergency response procedures must be in place. These procedures ensure that people's health and well-being are taken care of, and when emergencies arise, they are brought under control quickly and effectively. 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 that different perspectives are taken into account 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 highly experienced and trained guards who are prepared to deal with various emergency scenarios and are equipped with the necessary gear and equipment. The combination of planning, training, and execution enables us to respond to crowd management concerns swiftly, provide urgent medical treatment to attendees, and maintain order even under the most intense pressure.
Trained and Licensed Event Security Guards You Can Trust
To run a safe and successful event, you must hire professionals who are fully qualified, highly trained, and prepared for any scenario they may face. Our event security guards in Ipswich are SIA-licensed, ensuring clients can rest assured they will work with fully vetted personnel who adhere to industry standards. We provide rigorous training to ensure guards can handle crowd control, conflict de-escalation, emergency response, and other necessary duties. Whether we’re securing a large-scale public event or a small private gathering, we're well-equipped to maintain safety without disrupting the event's flow.
Their commitment to safety and service sets our event security guards apart. We don’t just want to keep guests and performers safe; we also want to ensure they have a thoroughly enjoyable experience. That’s why we instruct our guards to be approachable, attentive, and discreet throughout the event. With unrivalled knowledge of local venues, regulations, and risk factors, our team knows how to ensure the event runs smoothly while maintaining airtight security.
