Event Security & Crowd Management

Safe, Successful Events Start Here

Whether you are organizing a local music festival, a corporate gala, a sporting event, or a private wedding, the safety of your guests is the priority. Security sets the tone for the entire experience—it needs to be robust enough to handle risks, but friendly enough to ensure guests feel welcome.

Force8 delivers professional Event Security and Crowd Management across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire. We work with event organizers from the early planning stages to the final clear-up, providing a scalable security solution that guarantees a safe environment.

Comprehensive Event Solutions

We supply SIA-licensed staff for every aspect of event safety:

1. Crowd Management & Stewarding

Moving large numbers of people safely requires expertise. Our stewards manage:

• Queue systems and ticket checking.
• Directing foot traffic to prevent overcrowding (crush prevention).
• Emergency evacuation procedures.
• Parking management and traffic control.

2. Door Supervisors & Access Control

For licensed premises, bars, or VIP areas, you need firm but polite control. Our door supervisors are experts in:

• ID checks and age verification (Challenge 25).
• Bag searches and screening for prohibited items (weapons/drugs).
• Managing guest lists and VIP zones.
• Conflict management and ejection of unruly attendees.

3. Perimeter & Backstage Security

We secure the "unseen" areas of your event to protect assets and talent.

• Patrolling perimeter fences to prevent fence-jumpers.
• Guarding equipment, stages, and generators overnight.
• Providing close protection (bodyguards) for VIPs and artists.

We don't just turn up on the day. Force8 acts as your security consultant.

• Liaison: We work alongside local police, councils, and emergency services to ensure your event meets all licensing objectives.
• Communication: On the day, our teams use encrypted radios to maintain constant contact with your event management team.
