Our first event in July saw a welcomed return to Staxtonbury with festival goers enjoying a fabulous weekend of entertainment by the coast.
This three day event yet again saw crowds flocking in early to secure the best camping pitches available. Over 5000 people visited over the course of the weekend all greeted with #securitywithasmile from our event security team.
"Having
recently held our 7th annual music festival, we feel that we need to
acknowledge the part played by Professional Security for the help they have
given us in building our event during the five years that they have worked with
us. The festival has gone from strength to strength and is now probably
one of the largest events of its kind in North Yorkshire.
Our event
has been built with the ethos of providing a safe, friendly and secure
environment and Professional Security have been instrumental in helping
us to achieve this. Not only is this evident over the festival weekends but
they have also shown a commitment to attend briefing and de-briefing
meetings. The have offered valued advise and suggestions which have
helped to move the festival forward into what it is today. We feel that this
year’s event was the best operation that we have run since the start in 2009.
Professional Security have, over the years, worked very well with our staff and
there is mutual respect between us as both parties strive to keep the family
friendly atmosphere that we desire and achieve. "

"When selecting the team it was important to me to ensure we delivered the highest level of customer care and enhanced people's experience of visiting the site from the moment we meet them and issue wristbands, to saying goodbye at the end of the final day. Another year with no major incident is a credit to the Staxtonbury team and ourselves and I would like to thank everyone who worked on my team for the weekend. Great job! Looking forward to Staxtonbury 2016!"
Mike De Freitas, one of the acts appearing at the family festival said
"I would like to thank the security team who worked at Staxtonbury 2015. They managed to keep a very busy weekend in check, addressing matters effectively and promptly with very little fuss. One thing that particularly impressed me was that they always took into consideration that this is a family festival and even joined in with the festivities on occassion"
"We received a number of compliments about your staff, again this year, and the continuity of your staff from year to year working alongside our staff doesn’t go unnoticed by the public and of course ourselves. As organisers, we felt as though we were in good hands and were able to concentrate on the many other facets of organising a festival without worrying about the security aspect."
Ray Roberts, Staxtonbury Family Music Festival
"Professional Security staff are well presented and diligent in their duties and can be relied upon to keep good time; they are well prepared and equipped and yet flexible when the need arises.Staxtonbury Family Music Festival have had no hesitation in recommending Professional Security to other event organisers in the past and we feel sure that we shall be able to do so in the future also. We feel that we can trust Brett and his team to fulfill our requirements and are confident that they will continue to do this in our future events."
