The summer months are a peak time for event’s organisers as a holiday atmosphere, hotter weather and sense of freedom encourage people to enjoy more recreational activities than usual. During this busy period, remote workforce monitoring solution IQTimecard is increasing efficiency for UK security firms, helping to keep events in Britain safe over summer.
Although many events companies operate all year round, the atmosphere of summertime creates a busy season comprising of outdoor events, sporting events and various cultural festivals. These particular events are highly popular in the UK, with a survey conducted by UK Music revealing that over 3.5 million people attended a music festival last year.
