Sye Roberts
Head of Security and Strategic Risk at PUFC
‘Crowdsafe UK came to us not via a salesperson but by recommendation and I can only say that its one of the best recommendations we have had. Security for us is a client facing role and a security person on duty often represents a visitors first interaction with our venue. Crowdsafe staff are well trained and professionally turned out and also dependable. In addition having worked with Adam Hesson, he and his team are responsive at all times whether on radio or in person. They are proactive and well resourced and I have found them dependable in situations where we are all pushed. I have no hesitation in recommending Crowdsafe for events large or small.’
Jason Lunn
Venue Director – East of England Showground
We first started working with Crowdsafe UK at the Cambridge Marathon in 2020. This event is one of our largest and saw a deployment of over 175 staff across the city centre and surrounding areas. An event of this scale can often cause logistical issues, however we found the meticulous planning and effort from the management team at Crowdsafe UK really put our minds at ease. Their staff are friendly, proactive, presentable and worked extremely well with our own in-house team. Following the Cambridge Half Marathon, Crowdsafe UK have become our preferred supplier for our Stewarding and Security needs at all of our events at our events around the country. Adam and his management team have a can do attitude and a passion for events which sets the standard for the Crowdsafe UK staff to deliver to. We would recommend them highly. I have no hesitation in recommending Crowdsafe for events large or small.’
