AP Security completes busiest weekend of the UK events year
22 Jul 10
Event crowd management company AP Security has just completed its busiest weekend of 2010, deploying over 2,000 crew members to seven different sites across the UK.
Events during the weekend of 17/18 July included the Latitude Festival in Southwold, Suffolk, Lovebox in London’s Victoria Park, JLS concerts for the Forestry Commission at its Westonbirt site near Bristol, Escot Park in Exeter and The Embankment at Peterborough, the Shoreditch Festival and the Newham Town Show, as well as covering their regular venues, such as The O2 and Brixton Academy.
“The logistics of looking after multiple sites and over 2,000 crew are immense,” said Simon Miller, AP’s northern operations manager who worked with southern operations manager Chris Hollands to coordinate the weekend’s workload.
“Just one event such as Latitude takes a lot of pre planning, but when you have seven events of more of less equal magnitude with crowds capacities ranging from 15,000 at Escot Park to 35,000 at Latitude, detailed management is the key.”
AP says that all events went smoothly and the company is looking forward to the challenges that the rest of the summer will bring.

Interesting... So they have that many staff, or are they subbing in?
I know several staff members who work directly for AP Security who didn't get any work this summer... I would like to hear from them.
