- Within our team, we have backgrounds including Safety Officer, Events Planning Police Officer, Crowd Safety Manager, Site Management and Production Teams.

We are more than happy to provide Corporate References from a selection of our extremely satisfied Client Base as well as the testimonials available on our website.
- Every festival and large event we operate at, is provided with a Crowd Safety Management Plan as standard. This isn’t a basic RAMS as many provide, it’s a 50+ page document detailing every element of our approach to planning and implementing the security for the Festival. This is the core document from which every operative on site is briefed and fully aware. This plan is invaluable at planning stages when demonstrating real credibility to partner agencies with an interest in the safety and professionalism of your event.
