SECURITY SERVICES IN LONDON
Orion provides event security in London, planned around the venue, event format and the people attending. We discuss your requirements with the organiser so that the security assignment has a clear scope and reporting structure.
A security plan for the event you are running
The arrangements depend on the venue layout, event timings, expected attendance and access procedures. We consider how the assigned security team will coordinate with the organiser, venue staff and other contractors, including how concerns are escalated during the event.
What the assignment can include
- Supporting agreed entrance and access procedures
- Checking admission arrangements where included
- Maintaining a visible presence in designated areas
- Observing activity and reporting concerns to the authorised contact
- Following agreed incident and emergency procedures
Plan your service
Send the venue address, event dates, opening and closing times, expected attendance and a brief outline of the event. Tell us about restricted areas, entry arrangements, existing venue rules and any specific staffing or qualification requirements. Roles, personnel requirements and responsibilities are agreed before the instruction begins.
Follow the event from arrival to departure
The security plan should reflect when guests, suppliers and staff arrive and leave, rather than just the advertised event hours. Explain ticketing or guest-list arrangements, restricted areas and delivery access. Changes to audience numbers, venue layout or event activities can affect the proposed duties and should be discussed before the event.
Coordinate with the organiser and venue
Identify who makes operational decisions, who manages the venue and how security staff communicate with them. Agree briefing arrangements, incident reporting, handovers and the limits of each post. Stewarding, medical cover and other specialist event functions should be identified separately so no responsibility is left unclear.

Questions about event security
What information is needed for an event-security quotation?
The event type, location, dates, times, expected attendance and access arrangements provide a useful starting point. A venue plan and proposed duties can also help.
Do you coordinate with the venue’s own team?
The organiser and venue should identify the relevant contacts and responsibilities. These arrangements are reflected in the agreed instructions for the assignment.
