We have just used Akron for both night security and daytime SIA and we are completely blown away by their professionalism and friendliness. Festability is our first ever event and we could not have been in better hands! Both day and night staff went above and beyond their roles and fully supported this nerve racking event! Thank you to all of them and we have already booked you for next year!

Absolutely brilliant security company, we used Akon as our on set security for Celebrity Haunted Mansion and I could have not asked for a more professional team. We were working in challenging freezing conditions for a week and I did not hear one of them moan once. Not only did they provide top notch security for our location they also went above and beyond their duties and became a central point of our production helping with the logistics of running a hectic remote location. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to any other TV company or indeed any company that need first rate security. Lara Bishop Unit Manager - Celebrity Haunted Mansion North One Television
