Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between event marshals and event security?
Event marshals focus on crowd flow, wayfinding, queue management, and front-of-house support. Event security officers are SIA-licensed and handle access control, incident response, and higher-risk security tasks. We often deploy both teams together.
Do event marshals need an SIA licence?
Marshal and steward roles are typically non-licensed when performing stewarding duties only. Where licensable activities are required — such as door supervision or guarding — we supply appropriately SIA-licensed personnel.
Can you provide marshals at short notice?
Yes. We maintain a recruitment database of experienced marshals and security personnel for seasonal peaks, festivals, and urgent shift cover across the UK.
