Hyder, which has 3,500 staff around the world, is a leading international consultancy.
Peter Ryan, one of the world’s acknowledged experts in major event security and a consultant for Hyder said: “Many larger sporting and entertainment events are particularly vulnerable to terrorist attack or deliberate disruption and the security response has to be substantial and comprehensive.
“Hyder provides security solutions, helps plan operational responses and designs permanent and temporary infrastructure and security technology to protect events.”
Said Nigel Rushman, managing director of organisers Rushmans: “We are delighted to welcome Hyder as premier partners to the International Sports Security Summit which has become established as the leading specialist event in this increasingly important yet complex field.”
The event takes place on January 24-25.
