Security That Fits Your Venue

A busy city-centre bar needs a different approach to a traditional community pub. A premium cocktail venue has different expectations from a high-footfall sports bar. We understand those differences.

With over 20 years’ experience in hospitality security, we know that the right Door Supervisors do more than manage entrances and maintain safety. They’re part of your customer experience.

That’s why our local management teams take the time to understand each venue’s atmosphere, customers and operational requirements, selecting security personnel whose experience, personality and professionalism complement your brand.

From Greene King and JD Wetherspoon to Lost & Found, Manahatta, Banyan and Dirty Martini, our experience spans the full spectrum of the UK’s pub and bar sector.

National Coverage, Local Support

Supporting over 1,200 pubs, bars and breweries across the UK, we understand that every venue has its own character, customers and security requirements.

From traditional community pubs to premium cocktail bars, we carefully select Door Supervisors whose experience, personality and professionalism complement your venue and brand.

Whether you’re an independent operator or a national hospitality group, our local management teams deliver a personal service backed by the resources and reliability of a nationwide security provider.

Our Wider Hospitality Security Expertise

Our expertise extends beyond pubs and bars to nightclubs, hotels, restaurants, quick-service restaurants, casinos and leisure destinations across the UK.

From casual hospitality environments to premium venues where presentation and guest experience are central to the brand, we understand that security needs to reflect the setting in which it’s delivered.

Whatever the venue, our approach remains the same: reliable, professional security delivered by people who understand the importance of customer experience.
