Event security and crowd management in Glasgow
Events run on planning. We work with organisers across Glasgow on concerts, festivals, corporate events and private functions, covering everything from the risk assessment and crowd plan through to the officers on the ground on the day.
Planning before the gates open
We assess the site, the expected numbers and the crowd profile, then agree entry points, search policy, capacity, and how the team communicates once it is busy. Getting this right beforehand is what keeps an event calm when a queue builds or the weather turns.
Scaled to the event, not the invoice
A private function and a multi stage event need very different teams. We scale from a handful of stewards up to a full deployment with supervisors, search teams and response, and we would rather tell you a smaller team is enough than sell you a deployment you do not need.
What is included
- Crowd safety planning and risk assessment support
- SIA licensed stewards and supervisors
- Entry, search and accreditation checks
- Capacity monitoring and queue management
- Radio communication across the whole team
- Body worn cameras and incident reporting
- Certified first aiders on site
- Pack down and egress management
Where we cover
We are based at Newton Place in Glasgow city centre and cover the whole city and the surrounding area, including the city centre, Merchant City, the West End, Paisley, East Kilbride, Hamilton and Clydebank. We also travel further across Scotland for events and contracts, so ask us wherever the job is.
From first call to officers on site
Four steps, and you know exactly what happens at each one before you commit to anything.
-
01
Site survey
We attend your premises, assess the risk properly and put a written proposal in front of you. No quote is issued from a phone call and a postcode.
-
02
Agreed procedures
Alarm zones, escalation contacts, access arrangements and reporting requirements are documented and signed off before an officer sets foot on site.
-
03
Officers assigned
A named team is allocated to your contract and briefed on your site file, so the people attending know the building before their first shift.
-
04
Ongoing reporting
Written records after every attendance, reviewed with you at agreed intervals and retained for the life of the contract.
