Building Six control

by Mark Rowe

Building Six, the stand-alone club at the O2 Arena (pictured) on the Greenwich peninsula in east London, reports that Integrated Security Consultants Limited (ISC) has taken on management of their control room.

ISC points to a track record in security and safety for major events and iconic venues. The security contractor already provides event controllers for the O2 event control room.

Building Six hosts events including receptions, club nights such as Kisstory, award ceremonies, conferences, dinners and after-show parties; it can hold up to 3,000 people over three floors, with a 700-capacity outdoor terrace. It holds regular all-night club nights open to the public; and can be booked for private events.

ISC says that it will manage the Building Six dedicated control room for all events, working closely with venue management, event teams and the venue’s on-the-ground security.

ISC Head of Client Relations Justine Shepherd said: “We put a lot of work into all our key performance indicators, checking every procedure to ensure the O2 control room was extremely well organised and I think this is why we were invited to extend our remit. We are now putting all that same good work into Building six, to transfer over our knowledge and bring it up to speed. We’re making sure that the venue is operating safely and smoothly, monitoring what is taking place. The control room enables us to monitor the different spaces within it so that the venue managers and on the ground security can make informed decisions and deal with any issues accordingly. We are delighted to have this opportunity to show what we can do.”

Earlier this year, ISC was awarded the contract to deliver corporate and special event security to the new InterContinental London – The O2, the 453 room luxury hotel near the O2 Arena. Visit www.iscltd.net.
