Hannah Bevan-Mohaffel
Sully Village Group Co-Chair / Festival Organiser
“ We hired Overt Security to work with us at our first ever Sully Festival – Sullyfest. All of the staff were extremely professional and friendly and happy to help with anything we asked of them. All incidences were dealt with professionalism and we received many complimentary comments from visitors and volunteers about the service they provided. As the festival organiser, I felt reassured throughout the day knowing that the Overt staff were nearby and fully in control. I would highly recommend them and have booked them for all future events. ”
Jodana Weekley
Senior Functions Coordinator / National Museum Of Wales
“ I was recommended Overt Security by a friend, they met with us on the day of enquiry and came to view the venue. We discussed the events held at the Museum and they were able to suggest and guide us with the staff set up, which was a great help. Upon request, Overt also provided Welsh speaking security guards, which was exactly what we were looking for. We have since used Overt Security on a number of occasions and will continue in the future. “
