Aston Villa Football Club, Aston, Birmingham

Summary

Aston Villa FC is a premiership football club, with a ground capacity of around 40,000, the largest in the Birmingham area. The club has been a loyal customer of Justice Fire & Security for over three decades.

Challenges the client faced

With Aston Villa receiving a significant number of fans/visitors each week, security remains paramount. There are so many areas within the ground where protection is a requirement

How Justice approached the challenges

With so many people requiring access to multiple areas of the stadium complex, on different days and at different times of the day, in order to keep any disruption to a minimum, we recommended to the club that it would be best to install the security equipment one area at a time. This proved to be an effective approach.

Instalment/solutions provided:

As one of the country’s largest football clubs, with a huge following around the West Midlands, we initially started working with Aston Villa in 1991, providing a range of security solutions throughout various areas of the premises – both inside and outside the stadium itself.

Equipment we installed

Justice Fire and Security was contracted to provide the intruder alarm systems for the Administration block, North Stand, Villa Village and retail outlets.

The final outcome

Based around the success of our initial work with the club, Aston Villa FC has continued to be a long-standing client of Justice Fire & Security over the course of three decades. We liaise regularly with the club, assessing current and future levels of security inside and outside the stadium.
