We review your site layout, expected attendance numbers, licensing conditions, and local council requirements to map out potential bottlenecks and security vulnerabilities.
We design a comprehensive crowd management and security plan. This plan details precise entry search procedures, perimeter security measures, and emergency evacuation protocols.

We carry out full digital incident logs, medical reports, and operational summaries immediately after the event closes, helping you satisfy local authority reporting requirements.

SIA-licensed event security officers are legally qualified to perform physical guarding duties, handle entry searches, and manage physical conflict de-escalation. Event stewards focus strictly on customer service, ticket scanning, asset directions, and reporting hazards to the security team.
No, staff performing general stewarding duties like ticket checking or directing traffic do not legally require an SIA licence. However, any personnel responsible for screening guests, detecting offences, managing physical conflict, or handling ejections must hold a valid SIA licence.
There is no legal requirement in the UK that specifies a fixed number of security officers for an event. Instead, the appropriate level of security must be determined through a suitable and sufficient event-specific risk assessment, taking into account factors such as the expected attendance, venue size and layout, event type, audience profile, alcohol provision, emergency arrangements, local risks, and any licensing or Safety Advisory Group (SAG) recommendations. Event organisers should always refer to the conditions of the premises licence, as this may specify minimum security requirements that must be complied with. As a general industry guideline, a ratio of two SIA-licensed security officers for the first 100 attendees, followed by one additional officer for every subsequent 100 attendees, is often considered a reasonable starting point; however, this is not a legal requirement.
We understand that security requirements can sometimes arise at short notice, which is why we aim to deploy professional, appropriately licensed security personnel across East Anglia as quickly as possible. Depending on the location, size and complexity of the event, the number and type of personnel required, and staff availability, we may be able to support short-notice or emergency requirements, while larger or more complex events will normally require additional planning time to complete appropriate risk assessments, operational planning and staff briefings. We always recommend contacting us as early as possible so we can properly assess your requirements and provide a safe, professional and proportionate security solution.
