Brand and event management agency innovision, working on behalf of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, the Royal Parks and the Greater London Authority, engaged Showsec to deliver the crowd management strategy.
Showsec covered Pall Mall, The Mall, St James’s Park, the south walking route, the north walking route, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Station, St James’s Park Station and Victoria Station.
Leading up to the event, Showsec says its e-learning platform proved an effective method of delivering the event briefing to staff. But it was from the event liaison team control room during the event that the communications and coordination came for the 700 event security professionals.
Steve Reynolds, head of stewarding at Showsec, said:
“I’m delighted at the positive feedback we’ve received about the manner in which Showsec staff have undertaken their roles as part of this multi-agency high profile security operation. We’ve enjoyed great support from our client, the Metropolitan Police and other stakeholders to help us build our knowledge to properly fulfil our roles.”
