Sir Alex Ferguson, Manager of Manchester United

"As Manager, I demand the highest standards and a commitment to excellence from every part of the club, and I am very pleased that CES—Controlled Event Solutions—meets my expectations in every way.

Security is of tremendous importance to a team like Manchester United and the safety of the spectators in our stadium is of paramount concern to us. I am happy in the certain knowledge that Manchester United FC has placed security and spectator safety in the very capable hands of the directors of CES, Henry Kirkland and Mike Halligan, and the team behind them.

Like my own team, CES is a winning team with a winning mentality. Every steward is trained to meticulous standards and my own team is able to get on with what it does best—because we feel safe in the knowledge that our safety and security, and that of the fans, is in the hands of the best people in the business—Controlled Event Solutions."

Ray Foy, Stadium Safety Officer, Everton Football Club

"When Everton opened its brand new and state of the art training complex last year, we were looking for a good balance between watertight security for the facility and 'front-of-house' staff, with the interpersonal skills to welcome bona fide visitors. We are delighted that CES has exceeded the expectations of our job description. The CES staff operate as a well trained unit, both as security professionals and as concierge ambassadors for the Football Club."
