A summer festival with 500 guests and one unlicensed door supervisor can unravel the whole event. And the organiser carries the liability.
We've covered events of every size across Hull and East Yorkshire, from intimate private parties to large-scale outdoor festivals. These are four things experienced organisers already factor in before booking security 👇
1️⃣ SIA licensing matters. Every door supervisor on your event should hold a valid SIA licence. If they don't, you're the one at risk, not them.
2️⃣ Crowd ratios vary by event type. A seated charity dinner and a standing music event need very different levels of cover. Get the ratio wrong and you're either overspending or under-protected.
3️⃣ Stewarding and guarding are two different roles. Stewards manage flow and give directions. Security guards handle access control and incidents. Mixing them up leads to gaps on the night.
4️⃣ Brief your security team early. The more notice and detail your team gets beforehand, the smoother the event runs. Last-minute bookings leave everyone playing catch-up.
