Event and Crowd Management
Overt provides professional crowd and event management across Cardiff, South Wales and the South West of England. Our SIA-licensed officers plan and deliver controlled entry, crowd flow and on-the-ground security so festivals, corporate events, hospitality venues and public gatherings run safely and smoothly.
Officers are SIA licensed, screened to BS 7858:2012 and briefed to the specific event. We help clients meet Martyn’s Law requirements through practical security planning and measures for public premises and events. Live GPS tracking, task confirmation and real-time reporting provide clear evidence of attendance and activity.

Our Happy Customers
National Museum Of Wales Functions/Events
"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."
