Our Services

Alpha Crew’s highly trained event crew work on a wide variety of events in Manchester, such as corporate functions, live shows, and festivals.

We specialise in working with event organisers to ensure seamless execution and clear communication from start to finish. Whether it’s a brand display, large-scale sporting event, or live music, we provide the utmost attention to detail and necessary resources to make the event a success.

Our Manchester team’s event services cover setup and logistics, backstage assistance, loading & unloading, rigging installation, specialist plant & machinery use, health & safety management, technical crew, and security guard services.

Security Services

We offer a range of professional security guard services for all types of events and premises in Manchester. All of our security guards are SIA-licensed, vetted to British Standard BS 7858, and DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked.

Event Security

From licensed door supervisors to trained stewards, we have your event covered with our professional, experienced and fully trained team of security operatives.

Security Guard Patrols

Security guards are a highly visible and effective deterrent to criminals. Our effective guards will both deter and prevent crimes.

Reception Security Guards

Our reception security staff are highly trained, polite, patient, and well versed in customer service. So you can be sure you're still able to deliver a warm and friendly environment for visitors.

Corporate Security Officer

Our guards are SIA-licensed and undergo an extensive training program, backed by a market-leading program of support and continued learning.

Office Security Guards

Our guards are trained in customer service and access control, meaning they're able to build a good rapport with employees, whilst ensuring only those who have access to your premises are admitted.

Hotel Security Guards

Our guards can remain in place to protect key areas, or have a roaming remit to patrol your hotel's access points and vulnerable areas - you can trust our security guards to protect your guests and their belongings.

Concierge Security

Our concierge security staff are multi-skilled, trained in front-of-house skills like customer service, telephony, reception skills and, importantly, first aid.

Our bespoke, on-site training means they will dovetail perfectly with your existing setup, delivering effective security protection with no loss of service to your customers and employees.

Retail Security Guards

Retail businesses are regular targets for criminals, both during and outside business hours. Whether you want a highly visible deterrent, or a subtler, less obvious presence, our tailored training means our adaptable security guards can fit seamlessly into your business, providing security in a way that best suits you and your customers.

Job-Specific Security Guarding

The first port of call for any manned guarding contract for a void property is for one of our experienced security team to visit and properly assess your premises then produce a detailed report from which a bespoke, site-specific set of assignment instructions is produced for our security guards.

Our security guards will meticulously record all data as they perform agreed and site-specific assignments. Any potential incidents or issues are logged in the appropriate record book and time-stamped.
