> Event security planning for UK festivals, concerts, sports and community events, with introductions to security companies whose staff hold SIA licences.

Security planning for festivals, concerts, sports fixtures, conferences and community events: event security plans, crowd management, bag searches and entry, festival sites and Martyn’s Law for events.

Wardcote does not supply security staff directly. It helps plan the security, then introduces a security company whose staff hold SIA licences, which quotes and contracts with the organiser directly.

Once the duties start, events where 800 or more people are expected at once may be qualifying events, even at premises otherwise out of scope. See [Martyn’s Law for events](https://wardcote.co.uk/martyns-law/events).
