Summertime… and the livin’ is easy…

Not if you’re an events organiser, it isn’t! At this time of year, there are all manner of exciting outdoor events planned; from regattas and galas to proms and summer balls - with a few festivals, carnivals and funfairs thrown in for good measure!

As a leading security company in Hampshire, Venture is busy providing teams of fully-trained officers for a number of summer events, ensuring the safety of private guests, VIPS and the general public.

But what does this actually involve, and why is having a security provision so important?

Summer events often require far greater planning than winter events. With so many functions taking place outdoors and in public, a greater level of organisation is required for the various entertainments, equipment, catering and seating – as well as preparing for all eventualities on the weather front. From droughts and heatwaves to downpours and flash floods – we’ve seen the lot over recent summers!

Security is also much harder to control when outside. With outdoor functions meaning more access points, you are responsible for controlling who attends your event – and what they bring in. With your staff likely to be stretched over a larger area, such as at a carnival or festival, it’s difficult to oversee all that’s going on at your event.

At Venture Security, all our teams are managed by a project leader, and each officer is equipped with a radio to ensure effective communication. Bag searches are common practice and a strict security policy is important, especially when involving a guest list or admittance via ticket only. These details are a top priority for us, so that we can work together to keep security tight and your guests and staff safe.

We’ll work closely with you to ensure that we employ the best practices for your event and take all your concerns into account.  We only employ fully-trained and Security Industry Authority (SIA) licensed security officers who are qualified and experienced in:

• Crowd control
• Front of house security
• Corporate hospitality
• Door management
• Emergency planning and evacuation mapping
• Static security
• Mobile patrols

And, finally, we also place a good deal of importance on good old fashioned manners, which is why our officers are well-presented, friendly and helpful too.

Any event requires a high level of responsibility to ensure it runs smoothly and that all those who attend are free to enjoy themselves, safe in the knowledge that they are secure and in our protection. So don’t belittle your requirement for a security service, whatever kind of event you are planning – trust Venture Security as one of Hampshire’s leading security companies for an expert solution you can rely on.
