Specialist Security Services That Keep Your Site Safe, Organised, and Event-Ready

Common
Questions

  • What makes greenfield event security different from other types of event security?

    Greenfield events typically take place in open, undeveloped locations with little to no permanent infrastructure. This presents unique challenges such as uncontrolled access points, remote settings, and complex crowd dynamics. Our approach is built around flexibility, proactive planning, and real-time coordination to ensure the safety and success of your event from start to finish.

  • Do you provide overnight security during site build and breakdown?

    Yes. We offer dedicated site build and break security, including overnight asset protection for infrastructure, equipment, and materials. Our presence deters theft and vandalism and ensures your site remains secure even when not in active use.

  • Can you manage access control and traffic for open-air sites?

    Absolutely. We provide access and gate control teams, car park management staff, and clearly defined ingress/egress protocols. This ensures smooth traffic flow, reduces congestion, and helps maintain a positive experience for attendees and event staff.

  • Are your staff trained to handle emergencies and vulnerable persons?

    Yes. Our team is trained in emergency response coordination, first aid, fire safety, and lost child/vulnerable person procedures. We deploy experienced supervisors and managers to ensure swift, effective action in line with your event’s safety plan.

  • What documentation and planning support do you offer?

    We can assist with or provide event risk assessments, assignment instructions, site security plans, and support with Safety Advisory Group (SAG) requirements. Our consultancy-led approach ensures your event is well-prepared and compliant with industry and legal standards.

    We don’t just supply boots on the ground – we’re with you from concept to clear-up. Our event consultancy team works with organisers to:

    • Draft or review your event safety management plans
    • Create assignment instructions for security staff
    • Map ingress/egress routes, evacuation points, and staff deployment zones
    • Integrate with third-party providers to ensure a unified operational approach
