Following a short yet stressful period for a client in the North of England, we were contacted by senior management to advise that travellers had forced their way onto their site and cut electricity to the building. We immediately reassured our client that we would control the situation and get their site back efficiently, safely and with minimum disruption or damage.
Initially, our approach was to try and establish an open dialogue with the travellers in order to reach a peaceful resolution. However, in this particular case, our attempts were unsuccessful, which gave us an indication of the potential challenges that lay ahead.
We dispatched a team of Enforcement Agents to the site. Our enforcement agents are mostly comprised of former armed forces personnel who have gained valuable experience in negotiation tactics during their operational tours around the globe.
As part of this process, we promptly notified the police about the presence of travellers at the site, providing them with detailed information such as the number of individuals, caravans, and animals present. We also briefed them on any behavioural issues, the overall atmosphere on the site, and any damage that had occurred.
It is worth mentioning that police resources are often limited, and in this particular case, they were unable to remove the travellers from the site. Additionally, obtaining the necessary legal documentation, specifically a Section 61 order, proved to be a challenge as it could not be provided immediately due to the breach occurring after working hours.
Consequently, we realised that we would need to take charge of managing the situation and safeguarding our client’s assets throughout the evening and into the following day while we worked towards obtaining the required court order.
After resolving the initial problems with traveller camps, we swiftly installed six concrete barriers at the entrance of the site within 30 minutes to ensure its security and prevent any further attempts. Throughout this process, we collaborated closely with our client and developed a detailed plan to enhance overall security monitoring and prevent similar incidents in the future.
“We were extremely impressed with the speed of response from Oculus Facilities Management, and how effectively & professionally the team were at communicating with the travellers and removing them from site without any damage to our property. Thank you” – Client Quote.
