Security Journal UK this week covered the national rollout of The Halo System across all 14 of The Jockey Club’s racecourses, reporting on the operational shift behind the partnership rather than the commercial announcement itself.

The article’s framing reflects a challenge familiar to any organisation responsible for public safety across multiple sites: incident recording that depends on radio traffic, paper logs and individual site knowledge becomes harder to sustain as an operation grows, and harder still to rely on when an incident escalates, a team changes, or a record is needed after the event.

The Jockey Club’s rollout followed delivery at three of British racing’s largest single-day events — the Cheltenham Festival, the Grand National and the Derby — before extending to a group-wide standard across all 14 sites from January 2026. As Lloyd Major, CEO of Halo Solutions, said: “Racing is an important growth area for Halo, and this partnership with The Jockey Club is a major step…”
