The summer months are a peak time for event’s organisers as a holiday atmosphere, hotter weather and sense of freedom encourage people to enjoy more recreational activities than usual. During this busy period, remote workforce monitoring solution IQTimecard is increasing efficiency for UK security firms, helping to keep events in Britain safe over summer.
