support evacuation and crowd modelling issues. They also
work with insurers to give expert advice, reduce risk and
prepare organisations and individuals for the unexpected.
Our track record
Sporting venues, racing circuits, green-field festivals,
shopping centres – we support those responsible for some
of the largest venues and events in the UK and across the
world. From the initial planning phase, through
implementation to post-event reviews, we have trained,
supported, advised and acted as a “critical friend” each
step of the way.
In 2012 our specialists were on hand to support organisers
of the Olympic Torch Relay as they prepared to host a
large number of spectators. Members of our team were
Safety Officers at a number of Olympic venues, including
the Velodrome. The team provided training, reviews of
plans and validation through exercises of each venue prior
to the events. They also worked on the Commonwealth
Games 2014 in Glasgow. This knowledge and expert
advice was indispensable prior to and during the games.
Since then, this framework has been adapted to
successfully support clients from the retail sector, a range
of sporting venues and the events industry.
ADVISE
Our network of public safety specialists support many
organisations, both in the UK and overseas, through
the delivery of professional consultancy, advisory
services to organisations and to individuals who we
nurture, counsel and mentor. We work closely with
many government and professional bodies,
recommending and advising on the requirements,
standards, expectations and providing solutions that
are fit for purpose. We can provide validation and
audit programmes. Working with you, we pride
ourselves in achieving cost-efficient services without
compromising on high quality standards.

EDUCATE
We are thought leaders in the industry. This means we
develop guidance, standards and competencies.
These are designed as a development programme for
competency and for end-to-end solutions for those who
are relatively new to the industry. We can support them
with a solid grounding and professional development
through a range of training solutions. We use real-life
experiences as we focus on a wide range of
subject-specific, crowd and spectator safety issues
and challenges.

Whether we welcome you to our training college in

Yorkshire or deliver at your own venue, our industry
renowned and highly qualified training experts bring a
depth of knowledge and experience which is second
to none. We can adapt our courses and develop
bespoke solutions for your organisational and
individual needs.

The trainer was very informative and had a friendly teaching

style. I really enjoyed the course. It has given me the
confidence to plan events in the future.

EXERCISE
Put your team to the test. Our exercising capability is a
flexible and adaptable tool used to rehearse and test in a
way that brings the exercise to life. Beyond training, this
provides the ideal opportunity to gain hands-on
experience in a safe environment working with our
experts, who ensure that each scenario is realistic and
tailored to your organisations needs.

We can also offer a flexible and scalable validation

capability that is fully integrated with wider EPC
programmes. We understand that it is vital for leaders and
supporting staff to experience “real-time” scenarios in a
realistic and pressurised learning environment. EPC
exercising is designed to complete a life-cycle approach,
enabling customers to learn and implement their plans in
a cohesive way.

IMPLEMENT
Whether you have a large event you are preparing for,
would like to update your plans or you need to implement
something new and fresh, we can help you. From being a
“critical friend” by your side each step of the way to
embedding our people into your organisation, we can help
you write, develop and deliver. We have experts on hand
to guide you along the right path.

Our team supported the London Borough of Greenwich,

developed its staff and delivered the Tall Ships Regatta
2014. The team provided training, qualifications, planning
reviews and advice on event management and crowd
safety. We worked on the event as mentors, advisers,
control room managers and site managers. This gave the
London Borough of Greenwich the confidence in our
expert support and advice. In this way we helped deliver
the event, leaving a legacy of learning for the better
management of future events.
