Delivering Professional Security for World-Class Tennis Events
From 2022 to 2024, Location Secure proudly partnered with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), providing comprehensive security services across multiple prestigious tennis tournaments. Over three consecutive seasons, we worked closely with tournament organisers to protect players, officials, staff, contractors, and thousands of spectators, helping to ensure each event was delivered safely, securely, and to the highest professional standards.
Our approach extends beyond traditional security. By combining experienced event security officers, dedicated Close Protection Operatives, and a strong focus on customer service, we create a safe, welcoming environment while supporting the smooth operation of every event.
The Challenge
Hosting international tennis tournaments requires a flexible and highly professional security operation. Each event welcomes thousands of spectators alongside world-class players, officials, VIP guests, broadcasters, and contractors, all operating within a busy live environment.
In addition to venue security, our responsibilities included player protection, access control, spectator screening, asset protection, and responding to evolving security risks. During one tournament, intelligence suggested the potential for protest activity. Through proactive planning, close collaboration with the LTA, and a highly visible security presence, the event proceeded without disruption.
Our Solution
Location Secure deployed experienced event security officers together with dedicated Close Protection Operatives responsible for escorting and protecting professional players throughout each tournament.
Our teams managed access control points, conducted spectator bag searches, secured restricted areas, and maintained a professional, approachable presence that reflected the standards of the LTA. Throughout every event, our priority was to deliver outstanding customer service while ensuring the safety of everyone on site.
During the 2024 tournament season, our teams delivered:
1,636 security shifts
Over 16,170 hours of professional security coverage
More than 7,500 spectator bag searches at the Eastbourne tournament alone
Dedicated Close Protection officers providing secure escort and protection for professional players
