The services Stage has delivered to our business since the start of 2022 have helped ensure our site, staff and property is always protected."

— Sheng Li, FDS Corporation

— 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. As a parent it is very reassuring that they are in the park, and if there is any problems people know that they can approach them and they are there to help!"

— Lisa Cooper

"May I take this opportunity to say thank you, it has been a pleasure dealing with you and the company.

— Katrina Robertson, Whitton Parish

"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."

— Michael Marriott, Stowmarket Town Council

Our previous work

Our security company has delivered reliable protection services for businesses, venues, and events across Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding area. Below are a few examples of projects completed by our team.

Suffolk Women’s Cycle Tour

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 Clacton Air Show

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

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.
