MAJOR EVENTS
SECURITY AND RISK ADVISORY SERVICES
From bid preparation through to the live
action, we provide expert security advice
and decision support to mitigate risks and
enable our clients to deliver safe
and secure world-class events.
About G4S Risk Consulting
G4S Risk Consulting provides security advisory solutions throughout the lifecycle
of bidding for and hosting major events. We support governing bodies and their
delivery partners, sponsors, sporting teams, competitors and visitors to maximise their
opportunities, meet their objectives and to enjoy the events safely and securely.
Our approach is to provide our customers a single point of contact from which to deliver
the most appropriate support at the right time. We do this by leveraging our highly
experienced core team of subject matter experts and by drawing upon our established
relationships with global security specialists and suppliers. We are confident our capable
and proven team can meet the needs of our clients regardless of where they are in their
planning and delivery lifecycle.
Our Events Heritage
Our 30-year heritage in the events industry provides us with the experience and insight to
manage risk in crowded security environments for short-duration, high-profile and media
sensitive events. From outdoor festivals to the Olympic Games, we have been involved in
protecting global iconic events.
The Major Events Security Challenge
Major Events can bring transformational opportunities to communities but can also
draw unwarranted attention from threat groups intent on harm or promoting their own
cause. Hostile actors pose significant threats to Major Events, whether to organisers,
sponsors, competitors, attendees or the wider host nation. The range of threats may
span terrorism and activism through to criminal or protest activity. The complexity
of organising and running events means that disruptive incidents can have multiple
and unforeseen consequences, potentially impacting strategic and operational goals
and planning.
We have the tools, capabilities and people to
understand the complexity of Major Events
and how threats may manifest, helping our
clients shape planning and delivery. Our team
provides analysis and security risk planning
throughout every stage of the event lifecycle.
We look for pragmatic and event sensitive
solutions to mitigate risk recognising the need
to optimise security while maintaining event
culture and spectator experience.
Our Values
Innovation, Impartiality, Integrity.
