About
Our partnership was formed through a shared commitment to preparedness and excellence in public safety, having first worked together on the delivery of a major event. During this time, we discovered we were set to become the fourth and fifth graduates of Coventry University's MSc in Crowded Places and Public Safety Management.
Each bringing over 13 years of frontline operational experience, our combined qualifications and professional backgrounds are both distinctive and complementary. Recognising the need for a more progressive, evidence-led approach to event safety and crowd management, we established our collaboration to deliver practical, contemporary solutions that raise standards across the industry.
