Select Security & Stewarding

High-level safety, security & audience management services to the arts & cultural sector for over 20 years

Select supports a multitude of large and small arts and cultural events across the UK with safety, security and audience management services.

Our planning expertise, knowledge and experience of audience management along with our ability to communicate with internal and external stakeholders means events can achieve the highest levels of accessibility, audience reach and community engagement.

Audience management is multifaceted with areas of expertise including crowd dynamics, behavioural science, transport planning, communication strategies, risk analysis and movement strategies. With decades of experience and investment in academic research & scientific study into audience management for the sector, Select has become a national if not global leader in the field.

Our unique planning approach is an integral part of the holistic planning of an event, working alongside the creative element rather than against it so as not to detract from the cultural activity being showcased but to enhance the experience.

We have been and continue to be a key partner in the delivery of arguably some of the most culturally important events in the UK including the likes of Brighton Festival, Lumiere Durham along with many smaller and grassroots events.

Our mission statement, ‘We exist to deliver a high level of service to like-minded clients with whom we work to enhance the industry, its culture, safety and the customer experience.’

We are led by key principals, encouraging those we work with to engage in & develop to ensure that arts & cultural activity in the UK maintain its international significance.
