News - Select Scores With Sport

Select Security Group Ltd has begun expansion into sporting events within Northern Ireland.

The company has recently begun providing Event Stewarding services to several sporting venues including Portadown Football Club where they recently provided staff to the home fixture against Linfield FC.

Andrew McQuillan, Director, commented “At Select we have always relied on the quality of service being the deciding factor for clients rather than how much we charge. The beginning of our relationship with Portadown F.C. demonstrates that this approach has worked and we hope that this will enable us to create significant numbers of new full time and part time jobs over the coming months.

All our staff deployed to these contracts have completed their NCFE Level 2 Award in Understanding Stewarding at Spectator Events or are using the fixtures to finish their work based element of the qualification. This is the level of training and certification requires for sports grounds in England and Wales and we are setting new standards within Northern Ireland.”

Stephen Harrison, Operations Manager, added: “The package on offer with Select Security Group is unrivalled. We can bundle the provision of Crowd Safety Management Event Stewards along with SIA licensed Security Officers and other services including CCTV and Access Control installation and maintenance. This reduces costs significantly for our clients and allows them to focus on development of their support rather than managing several contractors”
