Total Event Solutions

Bringing a fresh approach to the UK's Events industry.

We have a long history of supporting our clients on some of the UK’s biggest and most prestigious events. We have once again set the bar high as we embark on a new phase of our evolution.

Having secured our status as the leading experts in traffic management for major sporting events throughout the UK, we found our logistical and organisation skills were perfectly suited to the marshalling and stewarding of these events. We have since attracted some of the UK’s leading specialists in this field to bring a new dimension to our array of services. Offering event security and marshalling as a premium service was the next obvious step for RTS. We have exceeded all of our expectations by attracting one of the strongest and most respected teams in the events stewarding sector.

Total Event Solutions brings with it a new dimension to the events stewarding sector. Following unprecedented disruption to the events industry, Road Traffic Solutions once again emerges as a beacon, preparing the way for the new normal.

We have exceeded all of our expectations by attracting one of the strongest and most highly respected teams in the event staffing sector. The Total Event Solutions team are leading the new and exciting dimension to the ever expanding portfolio of RTS and we are proud to announce this new endeavour.

In addition to this unprecedented wealth of experience, their leadership team have also secured the expertise of their back office staff and their highly regarded field team, including over 1000 qualified event staff. Their can do attitude and high levels of delivery compliment the RTS ethics and high standards making this a perfect fit. This also allows RTS to confidently develop into other areas of delivery and support our clients further. During an unprecedented disruption to the event industry Total Event Solutions are a welcome addition to the RTS teams.

2019 - London Pride

Our flagship marshalling event. The first ‘big one’ in our marshalling portfolio and in true RTS style, we went from zero to 300 marshals in one event. The event itself was oversubscribed on the day by approximately 50%, with over 1.5 million people lining the streets of London to celebrate Pride. In spite of the challenges that such a mass of people causes — radios going down, tube stations grid locked, and crossing points out of use — our exceptional team excelled under pressure. We managed to not only service the event but do it better than any supplier had done before, cutting down the on route traffic, reducing incidents by over 50%, having the roads closed by more than 2 hours less than any previous Pride event, and not failing a single emergency services probe all day. With true RTS grit, the team really pulled together to make it happen and jumped from never undertaking marshalling before to doing so better than any on such a prestigious event have done before. Our client and those working alongside us in event control were overwhelmed by what we had managed to do.

Carnivals and festivals

Following the success of Pride, our marshalling services were quickly sought after for a number of other prestigious carnivals and events throughout the remainder of 2019. Another 10 events were booked in and, as always, undertaken successfully and to a greater level than those before. Our completely transparent charging process went down a treat with our clients and the support staff we added to the team to assist on the events couldn’t wait to come back. Working transparently, fairly and honestly with our team and our clients propelled us throughout the remainder of 2019 with many booking already for the 2020 events season.

Firework displays & Christmas markets

Our ever growing portfolio isn’t just made up of the larger events throughout the year. We have also taken care of a number of smaller events including firework displays, Christmas markets and antique fairs. A lesser number in terms of requirement, but just the same in terms of expectation from the client. We’re proud to say that all these events went particularly well and have booked again for next year!
