century venues
The Century Venues portfolio and specifically the Enmore Theatre is considered the birthplace of our affiliation with live music and theatre venues in Sydney.
HOW IT BEGAN
Constant successfully took over services at the Enmore Theatre in 2004. At the time we were told that no previous service provider had delivered services there for more than one year before they were replaced. With this knowledge we set out to ensure we made a difference and sixteen years later Constant is still delivering services to Century Venues. Once again, this success is a testament to our rigorous efforts in listening to our client, providing solutions and then implementing continuous improvements throughout our continued journey with Century Venues, exceeding their expectations and aspirations.
Our services to Century grew as our engaging approach to partnerships furnished trust and demonstrated our ability to deliver. Our success at the Enmore Theatre led on to the Metro Theatre in 2007, a venue that still stands as one of the limited live concert venues in the Sydney CBD. Later, The Factory Theatre was developed adjacent to the Century Head Office in Marrickville and opened in 2008, which was followed by the Comedy Store in 2009. Constant also commenced delivering event security services to The University of Sydney Union’s Manning Bar in 2018.
Ability to meet demand
Venue services include all aspects of venue security operations including entry/egress control, screening and bag checks, roving and response, responsible service of alcohol, barricade / moshpit trained staff and supervision. Events across the portfolio range in complexity, genre, and demographics and include everything from children’s performances, to Comedy, Theatre, Hip Hop, RnB and Hard Rock. It is in our DNA to provide services where the customer’s needs continually changes. All events have documented reports and incidents are recorded in line with the relevant legislation.
To add value to our human deployment to each venue, Constant embarked on implementing an innovative tech solution, deploying a standardised surveillance environment across the venues to support licensing requirements as well as crucial evidence capture and opportunities to improve the performance of our staff as a value added initiative. Our support extends to entering a partnership as a Founding Ambassador to assist with the restoration of the Victoria Theatre in Newcastle, a cultural project being championed by Century Venues.
