Event Stewards and Event Coordinators
Well-briefed stewards keep events flowing so organisers can focus on the programme.
Overview
Event stewarding with X Facilities Group
Well-briefed stewards keep events flowing: guiding guests, managing queues and keeping an eye on safety so organisers can focus on the programme. X Facilities Group provides event stewards and event coordinators for conferences, venues, sports and community events, cultural celebrations and private functions across the UK.
We plan stewarding numbers and positions around your event plan and venue, brief every steward on routes, emergency procedures and escalation, and place an experienced coordinator in charge on the day.
Stewards work hand in hand with our security officers, hospitality staff and event management team where needed, so the whole operation runs to one plan. After the event, we review what worked and what we would change, so each event you run with us gets better.

On the day
Event coordinators and on-the-day management
An event coordinator runs the stewarding team on the day: allocating positions, managing breaks, keeping radio discipline and being the organiser’s single point of contact.
Roles
Stewarding vs licensed security
Stewards guide and help people; licensed security officers carry out licensable activities such as guarding against unauthorised access or dealing with disorder. Getting the mix right matters for safety and compliance, so we plan both together.
Preparation
Briefing, ratios and radio procedures
Every steward is briefed on the site layout, routes, emergency procedures and how to escalate. Numbers are planned against expected attendance and the venue layout, and radio procedures are agreed in advance.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do event stewards need an SIA licence?
Stewards carrying out non-licensable duties do not need an SIA licence, but roles involving licensable security activity do. We plan the right mix for your event.
Can you supply stewards and security together?
Yes. We plan stewards alongside security officers and event management.
