CROWD CONTROL<br />
TO MAJOR TOM<br />
While most people like to crowd surf at major music<br />
events, Tony Thomas prefers to crowd control.<br />
As the owner of Best Security and with a history<br />
spanning more than 30 years in the security industry,<br />
Tony has crafted his business into a boutique service<br />
specialising in crowd control at licenced venues.<br />
Best Security has a thorough understanding <strong>for</strong> what<br />
is required to control big crowds at large scale events,<br />
providing guards <strong>for</strong> Brisbane’s premier events during<br />
the past 18 years such as Oktoberfest Brisbane,<br />
the Cockroach Races at The Story Bridge Hotel, the<br />
Wickham’s Big Gay Day and Harrigan’s Red Hot<br />
Summer Tour.<br />
There’s also weekly events like football days at the<br />
Paddington Tavern and tribute bands like ACDC and<br />
Dragon at the Calamvale and Alexandra Hills Hotels.<br />
Human Resources Manager, Donna Dunn said while<br />
the company offers a range of services including<br />
personal protection, mobile patrols and corporate<br />
events; crowd control is what they specialise in.<br />
The company services all of Queensland, but primarily<br />
has contracts from the Gold Coast to Bundaberg.
