Milton Keynes Dons have appointed Medisec as their new security and stewarding provider for all home matches this season. The Kettering-based specialist firm will manage safety operations at Stadium MK, aiming to create a secure environment for fans, players, and staff.
This partnership was confirmed this week. The contract represents a significant expansion for Medisec, which has grown its team and event portfolio over the past year. Founder and Director Ben Hollis expressed pride in the deal. "This contract is a huge milestone for Medisec and something the whole team is incredibly proud of," Hollis said.
What does the Medisec contract involve?
The agreement covers the provision of security personnel and stewards for every Milton Keynes Dons home fixture in League One. Medisec's role will be to ensure a safe and enjoyable matchday experience for everyone attending games at Stadium MK. The club currently sits 23rd in the League One table with 3 points from four games, having drawn three and lost one. Their next opportunity to see the new security arrangements in action is a home fixture against Peterborough United on September 12th.
Beyond football, the partnership could extend to other events within the Milton Keynes portfolio. This includes concerts, conferences, and exhibitions held at the venue, use Medisec's broader events expertise. The firm has developed a substantial network of security professionals over the last twelve months, which it will now deploy in Milton Keynes.
How has Medisec prepared for this role?
Ben Hollis outlined the company's recent growth, which positioned it to secure a contract of this scale. "Over the last 12 months we’ve grown significantly, building a management team around the business, as well as working some fantastic events and developing a fantastic network of security professionals who work with us," he stated. This period of development included establishing a stronger management structure and handling a variety of high-profile events, giving Medisec the experience needed for a Football League club's operations.
The company's base in Kettering, Northamptonshire, places it within a practical distance of Milton Keynes for mobilising staff and resources. Their focus will now be on integrating with the club's existing matchday procedures and understanding the specific needs of Stadium MK.
Where do MK Dons stand as the season begins?
The new security partnership begins as Milton Keynes Dons seek to improve their early-season form. After four games, the team has scored 4 goals but conceded 6, resulting in a negative goal difference of -2. Their recent form reads as three draws and a loss. They currently trail league leaders Huddersfield Town by seven points in the standings, which fans can track on our standings page.
The immediate focus turns to the next home game. Peterborough United, who are 17th in the table, visit Stadium MK on September 12th. This match will be the first full test of the new security setup under Medisec's management. Supporters planning their attendance can view the full schedule on the club's fixtures list.
What does this mean for matchday operations?
For supporters, the change in security provider should mean a consistent, professional presence aimed at safety without detracting from the matchday atmosphere. The club and Medisec share the goal of creating a positive environment for all visitors. This off-field development occurs alongside the team's efforts to climb the League One table from its current low position.
The contract shows the broader business operations that support a football club, from player recruitment to stadium management. While the team works on turning draws into wins on the pitch, partnerships like this one ensure the infrastructure around the game is strong. The deal is set for the duration of the 2026-27 season, covering all league and cup matches at home. The team's player roster and staff details are always available for reference on the official squad page.
The first match under the new security contract is the League One clash with Peterborough United at Stadium MK on September 12th.
