The nights are getting darker, the days are certainly getting colder and there are already whispers of Christmas in the air. Secret Santa names are getting drawn, advent calendars are now lining supermarket shelves and we're beginning to hear talk of what people will be wearing at the office Christmas party! Whether you're organising an end of the year corporate event or a charity fundraiser, Christmas is a brilliant excuse to get together and blow off a little steam.

Whilst your guests will already busying themselves with organising how they'll get to and from the venue and deciding what shoes to wear, it falls to you, as the event organiser, to ensure everyone remains safe. By now, you would have already sourced a venue and set a date, but have you considered a security presence to ensure the night runs smoothly?

Which brings us to this: what are the signs of a great event security team?

1.An experienced security team

Firstly, you want to put your trust in a security company that has the right experience. The team here at CSS Ltd Security has almost 30 years of providing excellent security to a range of different industries, with event security very much included in our portfolio. All organised events regardless of size require a security presence, if only for health and safety control. Our team have a vast knowledge of crowd control, vehicle access, car park management and conflict management to ensure your event runs smoothly.

2.Professional Security Officers

Professionalism is more than just knowing what the job entails and doing it to the highest of standards. To us, professionalism also means taking pride in our work, and being able to monitor a situation and prevent an incident from happening in the first place. Professionalism means being approachable as well as capable, and every one of our security officers are exceptional.

3.Appearance and security uniform

Everyone wants to look their best at a Christmas party, and that means us too! A security team needs to be in uniform, looking smart and professional at all times. Being in uniform is especially important should a guest need to inform a security officer of a situation, as it makes them easily recognisable.

4.Being discrete

A security officer should not be intimidating. We want your guests to feel safe and secure, not intimidated! Therefore, being discrete is part of the job role, as we would never want to distract from the festivities.

We hope that your Christmas party or Christmas fundraiser will be a huge success, and we want to make sure the stories being told about it years later are funny anecdotes instead of security horror stories!

For more information on how our security officers can assist you with your festive party, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We can work with you from the early planning stages to decide on a security presence that works for your event. We look forward to hearing from you.
