Our events

The events that we have worked on

We have managed and supported event control rooms for mass participation sport, festivals, ceremonial events and stadium fixtures across the UK. Three of them are set out in detail below, followed by the full record.

London events

The Event Control Rooms we have managed and supported across the capital, from the London Marathon to Pride in London.

National events

Cycling, running and other mass participation events we have supported the length and breadth of the UK.

International events

The Mint Command Team support on a global scale and our Event Control Rooms can be deployed across the world. 

 
How we work

Three events, in detail

The same discipline runs through every event we have worked on. These three show what it looks like in practice.

Cycling, London and Essex

RideLondon

One of the largest mass participation cycling events in the country, run across three days in three separate locations. The event control room could not be a single fixed seat, so the function moved with the event while the record stayed continuous.

Tour de France, stages 1 and 2

When the Tour de France opened in Yorkshire in 2014 it brought one of the largest roadside crowds the UK has seen. Mint Command worked stages 1 and 2 from the Race Central Operations Room, the hub coordinating the route.

Neil managed our race route channel for the World Triathlon Championships in Hyde Park over 5 days - 11th - 15th September 2013. Neil provided a fantastic service - always a calm and clear voice over the air waves and someone I definitely look forward to working with again into the future.
