Event support services

A key contributor to a successful event is the staff you are using, they are generally the first point of contact for many participants, spectators, or members of the public coming to, or into contact, with an event.

Enthusiastic, helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive staff make a big difference to everyone involved in, or attending at, an event and we take great pride in the standards that our event staff maintain.

If you use volunteers ask yourself can I depend on them, can they undertake the roles required, and do they have the training and / or experience for those roles. If the answer is No then you may need trained and specialist event staff.

We offer a wide range of event support services and with over 100 staff at our disposal and we have a number of specialist and individual skill sets which sometimes even take us by surprise!

Our event staff are all trained in manual handling techniques, fire marshalling, bank side water safety, first aid, crowd / traffic management, and public relations. In addition we can provide specialist support as detailed below.

Our services

Signage teams

Not many people understand or appreciate fully the impact of successful route signage. Many organisers fail to take into account that signage provides direction and reassurance to participants and warns people that they are coming into contact with an event.

Our staff are trained how to correctly install signage on a route. They understand sight lines, advanced signage distances, participant and driver response times. Where legally they can place signage and how to secure it properly so it doesn’t blow away or change facing. A well signed event is a safer event.

Route Safety Marshals

For over 15 years we have undertaken route safety for numerous events from Closed Road cycling races through to mass participation endurance walks and runs there isn’t a lot we haven’t done. We’ve even stewarded at a number of Royal Visits.

A good event has to be a safe event for everyone participating or coming into contact with it. Our staff are trained to deal with most situations that they can be expected to encounter. They provide support, direction, and encouragement to participants, information to spectators and members of the public, and reassurance and peace of mind to event organisers. Our staff are reliable, dependable, dedicated, and take pride in making any event a success.

We regularly undertake events where we have to park in excess of 1000 vehicles within an hour and a half which can for many be an issue especially when a busy road network can be impacted upon.
