Radio 1’s Big Weekend!

It was a joy to continue to support BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend for the 4th consecutive year!

Our Incident Management Portal was deployed into the on-site multi agency control room and handled communication, information sharing and record keeping across more than a dozen teams!

See you next year in ***********! (It’s a secret 🤫)

It was a delight to return as the Event Control Room provider for Battersea Park Fireworks for the third year running!

A bigger room with more agencies than ever before, all of whom worked together to co-ordinate the safe operation of one of the country’s biggest fireworks displays! From the routine to the weird, concerning to the mundane; every incident was handled with true professionalism.

Alongside the fireworks, this weekend we’ve also had teams deployed at a boxing event in the North West and in London!

Whether working directly for Event Command, one of our event delivery partners or the Emergency Services, everyone who works in a control room is incredible!

The calm behind the storm, the voice at the end of the radio and the people who make sh*t happen - thank you for everything you do to keep the public, staff and venues safe!

What. A. Season.

Over the past 5 months, we’ve supported the global events industry in ways we could’ve only dreamed of when we began.

This summer, we’ve deployed hundreds of staff across dozens of concerts, sports events, races, beach parties and raves. We’ve helped to open gates for the best days of people’s lives, and dispatched resources to help them on some of their worst days.

In addition to our fantastic teams, in 2025 our software has been deployed at no less than 27 festivals and outdoor events and used by over 100 different agencies and suppliers.

To our clients, thank you for continuing to trust us.
To our team, we couldn’t do it without you.
To our industry colleagues, same time next year?

Event Command returns to Radio 1’s Big Weekend!

It’s been a delight to support our 3rd consecutive R1BW as we provided our incident management portal to we_are_farandbeyond to support the command and control operations on site.

With some brand new features, including a statistic gathering function, every agency on site was kept up to date in real time as the flagship BBC event progressed.

This is just the start though, as we deploy onto 27 more festivals across the summer season!
