Stewards

Main duties include:

• Responsibility for the health and safety and comfort of spectators.
• Providing assistance in the carrying out of evacuation procedures.
• Ensuring gangways and exit/evacuation routes are kept clear for health & safety purposes.

There are currently no legislative requirements for Stewards, however we comply with BS8406:2003 – Event Stewarding and Crowd Safety Services. Almost all our Stewards either hold an SIA licence or have completed a Door Supervisors training course but until they receive their licence work as Stewards. So you can be assured that our Stewards are some of the best trained in the industry.

Security Guarding

SIA Licenced personnel
Main duties include:

• Guarding premises or property against destruction, damage or unauthorised access.
• Guarding one or more individuals against assault.
• Carrying out patrols to deter or otherwise discourage the above from happening.

SIA Security licence is a lower level licence than a Door Supervisors licence; therefore we only train our staff to the higher level of SIA Door Supervisor. Our customers benefit from the supply of better trained staff and at no extra cost, purely because this licence allows greater flexibility within our business.

Event Traffic Management

SIA Licenced personnel or competent persons (provided temporary traffic order(s) are in place)
Main duties include:

• Ensure safe controlled traffic flow to and from highway as defined by traffic order(s)
• Community Safety accredited staff are only required in instances where no temporary traffic order is in place, (i.e. when it is an unplanned situation) or where exceptionally a traffic order specifies Community Safety Accredited staff.

The primary use of Community Safety Accreditation is to fulfil the role formerly performed by the police for unplanned situations on the highway i.e. traffic light failure. It is a little known fact that Community Safety Accredited staff are not a legal requirement for traffic management. In most instances a temporary traffic order will need to be in place and this allows any competent person to perform this duty (unless exceptionally a traffic order specifies the use of Community Safety Accredited staff).  As our company has no wish to perform unplanned highway duties we have decided not to pursue this accreditation currently, but instead to concentrate just on event management responsibilities.

Door Supervisor

SIA Licenced personnel
Main duties include:

• Guarding activities that are undertaken in relation to licensed premises.
• Searching of persons and/or property to prevent items that are unauthorised or illegal from entering the premises e.g. cameras, alcohol, drugs or weapons.

We pride ourselves in providing some of the best trained Door Supervisors in the industry. One of our Directors is also a specialist in the teaching of Conflict Resolution and the Management of Aggression, which entails all methods of resolution of situations from verbal up to physical restraint. We have an in-house training program which delivers this and other specialised training acquired and adapted over many years of change in the industry.

Dog Handler

SIA Licenced personnel
Main duties include:

• Guarding activities are undertaken mainly at night.
• Guarding activities that are undertaken in relation to licensed premises (Door Supervisor Licence required).

A popular choice for night guarding, our dog handling service meets all the required standards, including welfare of the dog.

CCTV

Monitoring the activities of the public in a public or private place.

A Public Space Surveillance (CCTV) licence is required when guarding activities are undertaken involving the use of closed circuit television equipment.

Temporary CCTV can enhance an organiser’s coverage of an event or a more permanent installation in and around your premises with 24hr remote surveillance available. Our installer/monitors are certificated SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarm Inspectorate Board) so you can be confident that the design, installation and aftercare of all our systems meet the highest standards.

Close Protection (VIP)

SIA Licenced personnel
Main duties include:

• Guarding one or more individuals against assault or against injury.
• Specialised focused guarding by a specially trained close protection team.

We can provide a service which can cater for even the most complex and demanding situations, providing full operational management and support from initial planning through to delivery.
