Security Team


Title – Security Team
Date – June 2005

Despite a long 12 hour shift our teams of Beyond The Blue staff working alongside the in-house team remain motivated throughout.

By empowering individuals within the team and taking good care of staff working, individuals remain motivated throughout and in turn offer better service to the customers even after standing often in the cold and wet for 12 hours at a time.

Beyond The Blue prides itself on its focus on the conditions in which staff under its guidance work. We believe that good preparation and training as well as good positive management is the key to achieving the high standards we expect.

Ferris Wheel



Title – Ferris Wheel
Date – June 2004

Events range in size and focus, some are directed at corporate clients and require a level of sophistication that reflects on the company presenting the event, others are one long party and the fun has to start at the front gate and continue as long as people remain. Venues and budgets also dictate the possibilities; big events can offer Ferris wheels and other large structures that enhance the venue, while smaller events require us to be more creative.

Beyond The Blue takes the view that no event is too big or too small for us to Event Manage. Be it a company Christmas party for 200 staff or 10,000 attending a live performance we have the capability and willingness to offer services to all clients. The consistent factors are always the same; the amount of research we put in before making any recommendations, the level of co-operation with our clients; the strong working relationships we develop with our clients; and above all the high expectations we put on ourselves to deliver a quality product and the exceptional customer service you should demand.

Depending on the nature of the event you are running and our involvement with it, the popular choice of a cocktail bar can range anywhere from a high volume previously prepared version, to the all singing all dancing flair bar tender throwing ice, fruit, straws, umbrellas, glasses and alcohol into a glass and magically presenting the customer not only with a drink; but a show as well.

We have a range of solutions to enhance your event and we offer Event Management services if you require us to run the show on your behalf. What ever you require we can make it happen for you and your organisation.

Wheatus


Title – Wheatus
Date – June 2002

Wheatus tested the ability of the Beyond The Blue management team at this event and demonstrated the team’s ability to react quickly to changing circumstances.

Half way through the live set there was a predetermined plan for the singer to move from the stage to play live from one of the balconies at the venue. When he (as is his prerogative) chose at the last minute to take a different route back to the stage running through the middle of the crowd, the carefully prepared plan to ensure his security had to be shelved and staff had to use their experience and initiative to act on the spur of the moment. The action taken by staff and management meant that within a few second everyone knew what was happening and proceeded to react allowing the lead singer clear passage and providing the performance with an edge that many of the crowd will never forget.

A heart stopper for a few seconds for the management; but a show stopper for the crowd.

We can provide Event Management and Consultancy for any event you intend to stage. Our Event Security team can work as the exclusive security presence or we can build a team to work alongside your own in-house team.
