Protective Horizons Advisory was founded by Craig Stride, an experienced security and events professional with a background in protecting complex venues, major events and high-profile operations.
After seeing how often venues struggle to turn legislation, risk assessments and security guidance into practical action, Craig established the business with a clear purpose: to make protective-security planning simpler, clearer and more achievable.
We combine real operational experience with a calm, practical approach—helping organisations prepare for emerging risks, strengthen their resilience and protect the people who use their spaces.

Protective Horizons Advisory helps venues, councils, Business Improvement Districts and event organisers understand their responsibilities under Martyn’s Law, assess their current readiness and identify the improvements that matter most.
Our structured venue and event assessments provide a clear view of your existing protective-security measures, potential risks and critical gaps. Findings are converted into a practical Martyn’s Law readiness plan with prioritised actions, named owners, realistic deadlines and clear evidence requirements.
You receive more than a checklist. You receive experienced guidance, a live readiness dashboard and ongoing support to turn recommendations into meaningful action and build a clear, auditable approach to Martyn’s Law readiness.
Martyn's Law Self‑Assessment
Our Martyn’s Law readiness assessment is more than a one-off review. It provides a practical risk register that helps you understand your current position, identify critical gaps and manage improvements over time.
The risk register brings your findings together in one clear, manageable place. Each action is prioritised according to its importance and includes a named owner, relevant stakeholders, a realistic target date and the evidence required to demonstrate progress. This gives leadership a clear view of what needs to be addressed, who is responsible and where support is required.
We guide you through the findings in straightforward language, helping you separate urgent priorities from longer-term improvements. Your live dashboard then provides an accessible overview of readiness, outstanding actions and completed work.
Our involvement does not end when the assessment is issued. We follow up with you, answer questions and review progress during the agreed support period. Where an action is difficult to complete, we help you understand the requirement and identify a practical, proportionate way forward.
The result is a structured and auditable approach to Martyn’s Law readiness—supported by experienced guidance rather than leaving you to manage a checklist alone.
