STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD

Are you confident that your organisation and your staff can plan, prepare and deliver a safe, secure and successful event including all reasonably foreseeable contingencies and emergencies? Do you need support in being resilient? Then read on to find out how we can help you identify the gaps and deliver the solutions!

The EPC is the UK’s leading authority in event and public safety. We develop and deliver resilience for both private and public sector organisations through our training, exercising and consultancy services.

Each year over 7,000 people trust us to help them prepare for major events and crowd situations. We train and support them as they plan and rehearse their response to a variety of potential incidents that could affect events, crowd management and public safety.

That is 7,000 opportunities each year for us to learn and develop from events and situations around the UK and overseas. In turn that means 7,000 new experiences and learning opportunities to share with you!

EPC have exceeded my expectations. I have learned a significant amount. Each speaker was very well versed in their area of expertise. I feel more confident about procurement, assessment of temporary demountable structures and where to look for guidance.Rebecca Stevens Hybrid Events Limited

Our track recordSporting venues, racing circuits, green-field festivals, shopping centres – we support those responsible for some of the largest venues and events in the UK and across the world. From the initial planning phase, through implementation to post-event reviews, we have trained, supported, advised and acted as a “critical friend” each step of the way.

In 2012 our specialists were on hand to support organisers of the Olympic Torch Relay as they prepared to host a large number of spectators. Members of our team were Safety Officers at a number of Olympic venues, including the Velodrome. The team provided training, reviews of plans and validation through exercises of each venue prior to the events. They also worked on the Commonwealth Games 2014 in Glasgow. This knowledge and expert advice was indispensable prior to and during the games. Since then, this framework has been adapted to successfully support clients from the retail sector, a range of sporting venues and the events industry.

OUR CAPABILITY

ADVISEOur network of public safety specialists support many organisations, both in the UK and overseas, through the delivery of professional consultancy, advisory services to organisations and to individuals who we nurture, counsel and mentor. We work closely with many government and professional bodies, recommending and advising on the requirements, standards, expectations and providing solutions that are fit for purpose. We can provide validation and audit programmes. Working with you, we pride ourselves in achieving cost-efficient services without compromising on high quality standards.

EDUCATEWe are thought leaders in the industry. This means we develop guidance, standards and competencies. These are designed as a development programme for competency and for end-to-end solutions for those who are relatively new to the industry. We can support them with a solid grounding and professional development through a range of training solutions. We use real-life experiences as we focus on a wide range of subject-specific, crowd and spectator safety issues and challenges.

Whether we welcome you to our training college in Yorkshire or deliver at your own venue, our industry renowned and highly qualified training experts bring a depth of knowledge and experience which is second to none. We can adapt our courses and develop bespoke solutions for your organisational and individual needs.

GET IN TOUCHWe would welcome the opportunity to work alongside you and your team to make sure you are prepared for the events ahead.

We understand that it is vital for leaders and supporting staff to experience “real-time” scenarios in a realistic and pressurised learning environment. EPC exercising is designed to complete a life-cycle approach, enabling customers to learn and implement their plans in a cohesive way.

Whether you have a large event you are preparing for, would like to update your plans or you need to implement something new and fresh, we can help you. From being a “critical friend” by your side each step of the way to embedding our people into your organisation, we can help you write, develop and deliver. We have experts on hand to guide you along the right path.

Our team supported the London Borough of Greenwich, developed its staff and delivered the Tall Ships Regatta 2014. The team provided training, qualifications, planning reviews and advice on event management and crowd safety. We worked on the event as mentors, advisers, control room managers and site managers. This gave the London Borough of Greenwich the confidence in our expert support and advice. In this way we helped deliver the event, leaving a legacy of learning for the better management of future events.
