Event Support Team are a providor of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Services in the UK

At Event Support Team, we specialise in providing expert Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) services to clients across the UK. With the proposed introduction of the Protect Duty (Martyn’s Law), it’s more important than ever for events and organisations to take measures to protect themselves and the public against potential vehicle-borne threats.

What is Hostile Vehicle Mitigation?

Hostile Vehicle Mitigation refers to the set of measures put in place to prevent vehicle-borne threats, such as those caused by terrorist attacks or criminal activity. These measures can include physical barriers, such as bollards or crash-rated fencing, as well as other technologies such as CCTV, access control systems, and vehicle tracking. Hostile Vehicle Mitigation should be a crucial element in any event’s traffic management plan

Why is Hostile Vehicle Mitigation important?

Recent events have demonstrated the potential danger posed by vehicles used as weapons, particularly in crowded areas such as city centres, transport hubs, and other public spaces. The UK government has responded by introducing new legislation to help protect against these threats. The Protect Duty, which is expected to become law in 2022, will require businesses and organisations to take measures to protect against terrorist attacks. Similarly, Martyn’s Law, which is currently being considered by Parliament, would require all public venues to take steps to improve their security measures.
