5 benefits of professional security services at your UK event

Are you thinking of hiring professional security services for your event? Well, it’s almost certainly the right idea. By getting a full security service, you can ensure safety and legal compliance at your festival or other large event. Here, Monarch Security Services outline 5 reasons why you need security professionals.

Manage Crowd Control

When large crowds gather, it doesn’t take much for disaster to occur if you don’t have proper crowd control in place. If too many people start moving in the same direction into a confined space, or if violence breaks out for whatever reason, the consequences can be very serious without a team of professional to manage the situation. Trained security guards are able to manage crowds so that difficult scenarios are diffused and safe crowd movement is maintained.

Reassure Attendees

Attendees at large events will want to see that you have thought about safety and security, and the presence of professional security personnel around your site will give them that reassurance they need to be able to enjoy the event.

A Legal Requirement

If you’re holding a large event or festival in the UK, you will be subject to certain legal requirements around safety and security, which will include having licensed, professional security guards on hand throughout your site. Therefore, hiring a security service is not only the smart thing to do, it’s also essential!

Focus on Your Job

With security taken care of by an experienced team, you can get on with all the other things you need to do as an organiser of a festival or large event. Get peace of mind that your site is safe and secure, so you can concentrate on your job.

Trained and Experienced Professionals

Hiring professional event security services means that you get access to highly trained and experienced personnel who know how to respond in difficult or dangerous situations. A good security team can prevent unwanted situations and help your event to go off smoothly.

Contact us now to find out more, but first read out handy guide to choosing the right security services provider for the job.

What are the requirements?

The first thing to think about it what security measures your large event or festival will need. With thousands of people in a confined space, you have several considerations: crowd control for safety, ensuring only those with tickets can enter, preventing illegal substances from being brought onto the site, and ensuring you have trained personnel who know how to respond in any situation. Choose a provider with proven experience, and be clear about the size and scale of your event up front, so that they can be transparent about what they can provide and whether it will meet your requirements.

Clear structures

The best security firms have clear structures and well defined roles, so everyone on site knows their job, and answers to a senior person who is accountable for a particular area of site security. Ask any potential provider of event security services what their structure is, and how they approach security at large events and festivals. Their answer will either inspire confidence or be a red flag that you should stay away.

Good communication

Your security services provider should give you peace of mind by responding promptly to your communications and by being transparent about their activities and preparations for your event. If a security company doesn’t respond quickly to inquiries, or fail to be up front about their service and their rates is not one you want to choose to provide your security. A good way to ensure you’re making the right choice is by asking for references or recommendations from trusted colleagues and people in your network.
