Iconic London Marathon

For the tenth successive year, MAN Commercial Protection will be providing: safety stewards, security response, supervisors, control room staff and specialists in crowd management to the iconic London Marathon.

MAN Commercial Protection, will be responsible for some of the most congested points of the London Marathon marking several strategic crossing points on the last half mile and the Sportive Finish.

“A real privilege to be part of it”

Iain McCallister, CEO, MAN Commercial Protection said: “The London Marathon is one of the world’s biggest races and a fantastic opportunity for people to raise money for charities…it’s a real privilege to be part of it.

“It will be our tenth year ensuring the safety of runners, supporters and all the race staff that are so crucial to making it happen.

“There is a lot of customer service involved in this assignment and a visible security presence acts as a welcome reassurance to athletes and spectators alike.”

McCallister continued: “Over 200 staff will be on hand at various stages of the race, with our events manager Scott Broadway celebrating seven years of overseeing our operation in the capital. That is some achievement in its own right.”

“Delivering the best possible performance”

“Promoters, athletes and entertainers don’t want to have to think about security, they just want to focus on delivering the best possible performance,” McCallister concluded.

“This is where we come in…we provide the risk assessment, we identify the best strategy and we then slip into the background.

“The same applies to this Sunday’s event. Success for us will mean none of the TV viewers ever knowing of any incidents that might occur thanks to the smooth security and crowd management.”
