ABOUT US

Sports Concerts and Events is a crowd safety, event security and traffic management. We specialise in providing the right staff for your event from as small as a local pub to as large as 80k people in at a concert. We have worked everything from Uefa Ladies Euro's and Formula 1 to small festivals & street parties.

Neil used to work for a security company that was involved in the film industry. He managed the events side of the business. So its a Monday morning just before Silverstone in 2019 and he gets a text from his boss. "Neil let all the staff and clients know we've gone bankrupt".

So he did. On Tuesday a client he was supposed to be doing a festival for the weekend, informed him they were going to have to cancel the event due to no one else having capacity. Neil said give him a few hours he would see what he could do.

With 3 days insurance, plain hi-vis's and some radios borrowed from the old company, Neil took a team on belief that this would be a one time deal.

More of Neil's old clients decided they wanted SCE's services and we grew into the company today.
