THUMBS UP!

It was #Thumbsup last weekend from our Events Team at Riverside Festival Glasgow on the banks of the River Clyde providing 24 hour site security and crowd management personnel on both show days. Glasgow’s Riverside Festival is one of the city’s best music events of the year and the sunny heatwave that engulfed the riverbanks provided festival goers a true summer vibe to the weekend. Security Scotland’s Director Mark Thorburn commented “Our team was openly praised by the event organisers, the event safety team and Police Scotland, which is always very pleasing to feedback to our hardworking teams.”
