All Cover Services Limited provides professional, SIA-licensed Event Security Services for corporate functions, public gatherings, concerts, exhibitions, sporting events, festivals, charity galas, and private celebrations across the UK. Our teams combine hospitality, vigilance, and precise coordination to protect people, property, and brand reputation—delivering safe, compliant, and enjoyable events from build-up to break-down.
Every event carries a unique risk profile. Venue design, audience type, alcohol policy, ticketing, VIP presence, traffic flow, local conditions, and emergency egress all influence the security model. We begin with a structured risk assessment and then design a tailored security plan that aligns with your event objectives, licence conditions, and insurer requirements. Whether you need a small, discreet team for a private launch or a large multi-discipline deployment for a high-footfall public event, we provide the right people, the right technology, and the right controls—at the right time.
Events We Secure
Our officers and supervisors are experienced across a wide range of formats:
- Corporate & B2B: conferences, AGMs, trade shows, product launches, awards, roadshows, and networking events.
- Public & Community: festivals, fairs, cultural celebrations, seasonal light trails, and civic ceremonies.
- Entertainment: concerts, theatre premieres, club nights, touring shows, and fan signing events.
- Sports & Tournaments: stadium fixtures, grassroots competitions, charity runs, and school athletics days.
- Private & VIP: high-profile parties, weddings, marquees, estate events, and red-carpet arrivals.
- Exhibitions & Pop-Ups: galleries, brand activations, mobile retail, and experiential marketing.
What Our Event Security Covers
We design an integrated security solution with clear roles and contingencies, typically including:
- Access Control & Search: ticket checks, accreditation verification, bag/pat-down searches (as policy dictates), prohibited item control, and re-entry rules.
- Crowd Management: ingress/egress flow, queue systems, barrier lines, pit crews, capacity monitoring, and pinch-point relief.
- Front-of-House & Concierge: guest greeting, wayfinding, VIP escorting, cloakroom support, and general assistance.
- Stage & Back-of-House Protection: artist areas, dressing rooms, production offices, technical compounds, and controlled deliveries.
- Perimeter & Patrols: venue perimeter checks, car-park patrols, asset guarding, and night security for multi-day builds.
- Incident Response & Welfare: trained de-escalation, conflict resolution, lost child/vulnerable person procedures, first-aiders (on request), and liaison with medics.
- Emergency Procedures: evacuation, invacuation, shelter-in-place, dynamic lockdown, and rendezvous point coordination with blue-light services.
- Alcohol & Age-Restricted Controls: challenge policies, refusal records, and safeguarding where alcohol is present.
- Evidence & Reporting: statement taking, CCTV markers, BWV (where approved), and post-event incident logs.
Our Planning Process
We follow a transparent, audit-ready process that aligns with licensing and insurance expectations:
- 1) Discovery & Risk Assessment: event profile, audience analysis, venue layout, route plans, medical cover, and local intelligence.
- 2) Security Plan & Method Statements: staffing matrix, post locations, search plan, escalation routes, and emergency actions.
- 3) Coordination & Briefings: pre-event walk-throughs, comms checks, radio protocols (call signs, channels), and daily toolbox talks.
- 4) Live Operations: supervisor oversight, dynamic risk assessments, log-keeping, incident triage, and stakeholder updates.
- 5) De-Rig & Handover: secure strike, asset protection, final sweeps, and close-down report with recommendations.
Compliance, Licensing & Standards
Our officers are SIA-licensed, vetted, and briefed for event-specific roles. We integrate with your Safety Advisory Group (SAG) requirements and work in line with the premises licence, event management plan (EMP), and local authority conditions. Data handling follows UK GDPR; safeguarding and equality policies are embedded into our practice. Where required, we support documentation for insurers and can assist with stewarding blends to meet budget and licence needs.
Staffing Profiles & Leadership
We supply the full span of personnel: front-of-house concierges, door supervisors, search teams, roaming response officers, pit crews, backstage guards, car-park marshals, and night security. Each deployment is led by an experienced supervisor or security manager responsible for comms, liaison, and incident decision-making. For larger events, we provide control-room operators to manage radio discipline, incident coding, and documentation.
Technology & Communication
Depending on the event scale, we can integrate two-way radios, body-worn video (subject to policy), CCTV monitoring, people-counting, and geofenced patrol verification. Our teams use digital incident logs and time-and-attendance systems for transparency. Clear channel plans, fallback procedures, and liaison talk-groups ensure fast response and efficient decision cycles.
Crowd Safety & Emergency Readiness
We prioritise safe crowd movement and prevention. Officers are trained to recognise early indicators of distress, aggression, or crowd pressure, and to act proportionately under supervisor guidance. Emergency pathways and muster points are maintained free of obstruction; vulnerable persons are supported with dignity; and we coordinate with medical teams and blue-light responders using pre-agreed rendezvous points and terminology.
