Our SIA-licensed security teams are experienced in managing large crowds, busy environments and high-profile public gatherings, making them ideal for festivals, exhibitions, conferences, sporting events and community celebrations.
We begin with a detailed assessment of your venue and event plan to develop a tailored security strategy. This may include controlled entry points, ticket verification, queue management, patrols, emergency procedures, safeguarding support, conflict prevention and close coordination with organisers, venue teams and emergency services.
Our officers are trained to maintain safety while contributing to a positive and welcoming atmosphere. They monitor crowd movement, identify risks early and respond quickly to any issues, ensuring full compliance with health and safety standards. Whether your event requires high-visibility stewards, experienced supervisors or a full on-site security team, we provide the right personnel for every role.
With Onyx Security Group, your public event benefits from a reliable, professional and proactive security presence – giving you confidence that your guests are protected and your event is managed to the highest standard.
