01 — Service overview

Event Security & Stewarding

We understand the importance of ensuring the smooth operation and safety of events, and we provide exceptional stewarding solutions to meet your needs.

With an experienced team of stewards, we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to enhance the experience of attendees while maintaining a safe and secure environment — whether you are organising a concert, festival, sporting event, conference or anything in between.

02 — Why it matters

Crowd safety is planned before the gates open

A crowd behaves differently to a group of individuals. Movement concentrates at pinch points, queues build faster than expected, and a small obstruction in the wrong place becomes a genuine safety problem rather than an inconvenience.

Most event incidents are not caused by hostile people. They are caused by too many people trying to move through a space that was not designed for it, at the moment everybody decided to move at once.

Our stewards are trained in crowd control techniques to ensure the orderly flow of attendees, minimise congestion and prevent incidents such as overcrowding or queuing issues — and to resolve the disputes that do arise before they affect the atmosphere for everyone else.

03 — What we provide

What we provide

/01

Crowd Management

Managing the movement of people through your site so that flow stays even, pinch points stay clear and the crowd never concentrates where it should not.

  • Crowd flow and movement management
  • Congestion and pinch point control
  • Capacity monitoring
  • Emergency route keeping

/02

Entry, Search & Accreditation

Getting people in efficiently while checking what needs checking — tickets, age, bags, accreditation — so the queue moves and the checks still mean something.

  • Ticket and wristband checking
  • Bag searching
  • Age verification
  • Staff, artist and contractor accreditation

/03

Front of Stage & Pit

The highest-risk position at most live events. Stewards facing the crowd rather than the stage, watching for distress, crush and the individual who needs pulling out.

  • Front of stage and barrier cover
  • Crowd distress identification
  • Extraction and welfare handover
  • Coordination with medical teams

/04

Perimeter & Backstage

Controlling the boundary of the site and the areas the public should not reach — backstage, production, artist areas, compounds and equipment stores.

  • Perimeter and fence-line cover
  • Backstage and production access control
  • Artist and VIP area security
  • Overnight site and equipment cover

/05

Dispersal & Egress

Getting several thousand people off site calmly, which is the part most likely to go wrong and the part attendees remember.

  • Managed egress and staged release
  • Transport and pickup point management
  • Late-stage crowd control
  • Site sweep and close-down

/06

Fire Marshals & Safety Cover

Temporary structures, generators, catering and large crowds together create a fire risk that needs its own provision. Fire marshal cover can run alongside your stewarding team.

  • Event fire marshal cover
  • Emergency route monitoring
  • Hazard identification
  • Evacuation support
Queue & Entry Management — MavCo Group
Queue & Entry ManagementSearch, ID and ticket checks run at the pace the queue needs, with supervisors who keep the line moving and calm.

04 — Why MavCo

Why choose MavCo

/01

Trained in Crowd Control

Our stewards are specifically trained in crowd control techniques, not simply placed in a hi-vis and pointed at a gate.

/02

Events of Any Size

From a private function to a multi-day festival, with staffing scaled to the event rather than a minimum team applied to everything.

/03

One Group, Several Roles

Stewards, door supervisors, fire marshals and trained event workforce all from MavCo Group, so one conversation covers the whole requirement.

/04

Planning Before the Day

We look at the site, the timings and the expected numbers before the event, because crowd problems are solved on the plan rather than on the day.

/05

Experienced Team

Stewards who have worked events before and know what the difficult moments are — doors opening, headline change, and the final twenty minutes.

/06

Reporting After the Event

A written account of incidents, ejections and anything of note, which matters for your licence, your insurer and your next event.
