Venture Security, one of the south’s leading independent security companies, is celebrating after being appointed the official provider of matchday and event security services for Gloucester Rugby Club.
Security, Stewarding & Crowd Management Services
Venture is now supplying all security, stewarding and crowd management services for the Kingsholm Stadium – the iconic home of Gloucester Rugby – supporting both matchdays and wider events held on site throughout the year. This will include managing entry control, crowd flow, guest assistance and incident response, with up to 40 team members in action for larger events, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
The Best Security Provider
The contract was awarded following a competitive tender process and sees Venture further expand its presence across sporting, leisure and hospitality venues, where the company’s award-winning services are already trusted by high-profile names including Newbury Racecourse, Salisbury Racecourse, Stonehenge and The Roman Baths.
Working with Gloucester Rugby
“We’re delighted to be working with Gloucester Rugby, a club with a deep heritage and passionate fanbase,” commented Duncan Robertson, Head of Operations at Venture Security. “It’s a privilege for our team to be supporting such a prestigious club and we look forward to contributing to a positive experience for visitors, by ensuring every matchday and onsite event is safe, welcoming and professionally managed.”
Kingsholm Stadium, affectionately known as “Castle Grim”, is one of the most iconic rugby venues in England, boasting a crowd capacity of more than 16,000 and welcoming an estimated 250,000 visitors annually.
Amelia Gray, Gloucester Rugby General Manager, said: “We’re proud to be partnering with Venture Security as our new matchday security provider. At Gloucester Rugby, we place a strong emphasis on creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone at Kingsholm Stadium, and this partnership reflects our continued investment in that goal.
