Welcome to ONYX Specialist Services
At ONYX Specialist Services, we do things a little differently. We believe that behind every successful event is a foundation of meticulous planning, expert execution, and—most importantly—a team that genuinely cares about the outcome as much as you do.
Based in Lincolnshire, we are proud of our local roots and our long-standing partnerships within the county. We regularly provide specialist support to the City of Lincoln Council, Lincolnshire County Council, East & West Lindsey District Council, and the Lincoln Business Improvement Group (BIG). You’ll also find us on-site at some of the region’s most-loved events, including Lincoln Pride, Gloworm Festival, and various fixtures at the Lincolnshire Showground including the prestigious Lincolnshire Show.
While we love working close to home, our reputation for excellence takes us right across the UK, supplying national events in Sussex, Kent, Bristol, and beyond.
Award-Winning Excellence
We are incredibly proud to share that in November, at the prestigious National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) awards ceremony in Bath, ONYX was crowned ‘Event Supplier of the Year (Services).’
In naming ONYX the winner, the judges specifically commented on our “innovation, care and comprehensive support,” noting that our dedication to our clients was a decisive factor in their selection. It is this award-winning energy that we bring to every project, whether local or national.
Our Specialist Services
We provide a versatile suite of services designed to cover every aspect of event safety, communication, and logistics. Our comprehensive offerings include:
• Security & Crowd Management: SIA Licensed Security Operatives, Team Leaders, Managers, and specialist Crowd Managers.
• Safety & Welfare: Expert Safety Officers and dedicated Safeguarding Officers.
• CCTV & Logistics: A full CCTV setup featuring our bespoke control room trailer, supported by professional operators and control room managers/loggists.
• Communications & Equipment Hire: Specialist radio equipment hire, including our brand new fleet of Motorola R2 radios, ensuring crystal-clear communication across your site.
While we can provide stewards, we advocate for the use of our SIA licensed colleagues. These professionals bring enhanced value through training in Emergency First Aid, conflict resolution, and radio communications, alongside completing vital Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) training packages and further specialist training packages such as Pit Barrier, Vulnerability and Ask for Angela.
Whether you are managing a boutique festival or a large-scale public activation, our relaxed yet professional approach takes the stress out of the process. We combine technical expertise with a friendly, “can-do” attitude to ensure your event is supported by the very best in the business.
