We have been announced as a finalist in the prestigious Festival Supplier Awards 2024.
For the sixth consecutive year, we have been shortlisted in the Best Crowd Management/Security category. We were named Best Crowd Management/Security in 2020, 2019, and 2018.
The Festival Supplier Awards are now in their ninth year, developed to recognise, reward, and promote best practices in the outdoor event and festival sector.
Looking back over the past year, we are proud to have continued our leadership development with an MSc in Crowded Places and Public Safety Management for Mark McQuade. Additionally, we had a cohort of 10 Level 5 Crowd Management passes.
Safeguarding and Welfare were high on our agenda. We provided our management with Level 3 Safeguarding qualifications and enhanced procedures for dealing with vulnerable people.
Both Glassdoor and The Sunday Times named us one of the “Best Places to Work” in the UK.
This helps keep people safe by building expertise, retaining talent, and offering real development and sustainable career opportunities. All of which leads to a better service for our customers and a safer festival environment.
