Proclamation of the accession of King Charles III
A civic ceremony was held in Oxford on 11th September to mark the formal proclamation of the accession of His Majesty King Charles III. The occasion brought together local dignitaries, residents, and visitors to witness this significant moment in our nation’s history. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the dedicated team at McKenzie Arnold, whose professionalism and commitment were instrumental in supporting the security arrangements and crowd management throughout the event.
Their expertise helped ensure that the proceedings were conducted safely and smoothly, allowing the public to take part in a memorable and historic day with confidence and pride.

We deployed a team of over 1300 security officers and stewards across Buckingham Palace and surrounding areas including Westminster Abbey, The Mall, St James’ Park, Green Park, and Hyde Park. During this time, over 3,000 shifts were undertaken over the 10-day mourning period, and the result was a seamless and highly professional service given the short turnaround times we were working with.
Priti meets up with leading Witham based national event security firm
The three met on Tuesday 16th August to discuss the key issues affecting the security business. One of the main topics of conversation was local government contracts and the difficulties smaller businesses face in trying to win such work when up against companies deemed to be larger and more experienced, by virtue of the size of their turnover.
During the discussions, it was agreed that more needs to be done to recognise the talent and capability available in smaller businesses, to ensure that they are able to compete fairly for governmental security contracts.
Commenting after the meeting, Priti said: “I will be looking into the process for tendering for governmental contracts relating to the events industry. McKenzie Arnold are first class providers in the business of event security and it is only right that their extensive experience and skills should be recognised in the tender process.”

Priti Patel holds employers forum to discuss key issues affecting local businesses
It was a pleasure to meet with our local Member of Parliament, Priti Patel, and to join fellow business leaders from across the Witham Constituency at Witham Town Hall. The gathering provided a valuable opportunity for open discussion on the key issues and challenges currently affecting local businesses, as well as the priorities for future growth and investment in the area.
The meeting, organised in cooperation with the Essex Chambers of Commerce, encouraged constructive dialogue between the business community and local representatives. We were grateful for the chance to share insights, exchange ideas, and explore practical ways to strengthen the local economy and support enterprises of all sizes.

They are on there way again on Wednesday with even more aid and as long as people keep donating to help cover the cost of transporting this Humanitarian aid this will continue.
