Showsec’s Nottingham office has added to its own football work, supplying security and stewards to matches at Alfreton Town FC’s Impact Stadium. The Blue Square Bet Premier League club has engaged Showsec. The event security contractor has soccer clients including Manchester City FC, Leeds United FC, Derby and Nottingham clubs. The company has recently sponsored the Football Safety Officers Association (FSOA) and NVQ initiative.

 

 

Showsec’s Nottingham office has been providing Alfreton Town FC with up to 40 Showsec stewards and SIA licensed people. Showsec operations executive Sam Hodkins has been project managing matchday operations at the club since January 2012.

 

Sam says: “Our Nottingham Office staff are participating in initiatives at all levels of the game to implement developments in safety and customer service, we’re delighted to bring this experience and expertise from football and music events to Alfreton Town FC.

 

“Our first match providing security was back in January against Kidderminster, since then we have built a strong rapport with venue organisers and safety officers, providing security requirements such as away fan segregation, incident response and changing room and tunnel guarding, in line with Alfreton Town FC health and safety regulations whilst delivering outstanding customer care to fans.”

 

Showsec meanwhile has been awarded the two year venue security contract to provide SIA security staff at Bournemouth’s O2 Academy.

 

The contract, which began in May 2012, builds on Showsec’s experience of security at a number of other Academy Music Group (AMG) venues across the UK. Showsec’s venue operations executive Andy Edwards will be responsible for delivering security plans to suit venue requirements.

 

Showsec’s South Coast area manager Tracey McCarthy says: “O2 Academy Bournemouth  hosts many of the key touring music artists, so we’re delighted to have been entrusted to extend Showsec’s relationship with AMG. Our capabilities have grown across the South Coast so that we work with the major venues from Bournemouth International Centre, The Old Fire Station, Portsmouth Guildhall and Southampton Guildhall, so I’m confident that our experienced team will deliver the high standards of service Showsec is synonymous with.”
