our story

Defined by standards.
Trusted to deliver.
Our Founders
Built on Partnership
Our founders, Matt Stone and Jon Bailey, first worked together more than 18 years ago on major ceremonies and events at New Scotland Yard. Their shared commitment to high standards, combined with complementary strengths, experience and perspectives, quickly established a strong professional partnership.
That relationship became the foundation of Stone Bailey — built on collaboration, sound judgement and a common approach to delivering security and safety with consistency, integrity and professionalism.
