About this business
Set up in 2024, this Stoke-on-Trent business staffs events with security officers and stewards: football and rugby matches, music nights, markets and community festivals.

Margins are thin at around 11.5%, which is common for labour-heavy event work. The asking price of £120k reflects a young business, with bookings growing year on year.
