8 Different Types Of Security Guards For UK Events

 With the UK events industry booming, valued at over £42 billion and supporting 570,000 full-time jobs, ensuring top-notch security has never been more crucial. Each year, we see over 1.3 million business events and 7,000 major outdoor gatherings across more than 10,000 venues, drawing in excess of 85 million attendees. London stands out as the top city in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for hosting events. Here at Fahrenheit, we're excited to play a part in this vibrant sector by offering specialized security services tailored to these diverse and growing needs.





  1. General Security Guards: These guards are foundational to event security, providing vigilant monitoring and helpful assistance to ensure safety across venues that host millions annually.

  2. Bodyguards: With the increase in high-profile events, especially in a leading city like London, our bodyguards ensure that VIPs can navigate these important gatherings safely.

  3. Gatekeepers: Critical at entry points, these professionals manage access, crucial in a landscape where tens of thousands of events are held, ensuring security and efficiency.

  4. Crowd Control Specialists: As events grow—with 67% of organisers expecting their events to expand—effective crowd management is key to handling large groups safely and smoothly.

  5. Mobile Patrol Guards: Patrolling the perimeter of events, these guards are essential in a sector where a significant amount of money—such as the £2.3 billion spent by music tourists—is at stake.

  6. Surveillance Operators: These operators leverage advanced technology to maintain oversight across expansive event spaces, an industry now characterized by increasing technological integration.

  7. Event Coordinators: Our coordinators work to seamlessly integrate security operations with event logistics, reflecting a trend where 39% of corporate event planners expect budget increases.

  8. Traffic and Parking Management Officers: As the number of events and attendees rises, managing the influx and egress of large crowds at venues becomes increasingly vital.
