Sia-sters are doin it for themselves

 

For some time now we have championed the value of female security personnel and we are pleased to say a change is slowly creeping through the security industry. Finally the value of female operatives is being recognised within the Door Supervisor sector in particular.

Although often featured in event teams, within the bars and clubs sector the request for female Door Supervisors has historically been minimal. Times are changing with both the bigger operators and the independents now looking at the value of having a female included within their security teams.

Over the last 18 months we have seen the amount of females we deploy increase by 150%. The male - female ratio will always be a long distance apart as there are such a higher amount of badged males than females nationally , however it is fantastic to see female operatives increase their representation in the industry. What is yet more pleasing is the request for females is now higher than it has ever been.

We are very proud to say we have two female SIA licensed Door Supervisors who have worked very hard to achieve the position of Head Door Supervisor. It's important that we acknowledge hard work, in what historically was considered a male led industry.

If you want to discuss the value of having a female operative within your security team please do not hesitate to contact us 0113 2042410

Jessie J celebrates in style at Oslo

Jessie J recently celebrated her 26th birthday last week at Oslo in London where we are proud to be the security supplier.

Professional Security Area Manager Ben Kirkham said "It was great to look after the night for Jessie and all at Oslo. Our team did a fantastic job, and it's not every night that Tom Jones turns up to surprise everyone!"

We hope Jessie had a great night and wish her a very happy birthday.

Welcomed new client sites in North Yorkshire

Homing in on Harrogate......

Having long been a supplier to the Moko Lounge in Harrogate, North Yorkshire it's been great to see our hard work repaid having recently been appointed the security partner to both The Viper Rooms and The Kings Club.

"We called upon Professional Security at short notice and at peak trading time to assist us. We found their response time and level of service very impressive. They are now our official security partner in Harrogate, welcoming them to supply Door Supervisors at The Viper Rooms, Moko Lounge and Kings Club. One aspect that impressed me was their approach to the handover which ran smoothly without disruption to normal service. We strive to deliver high standards at all of our venues and expect the same from our suppliers. Professional Security are delivering these high standards."
Ian Harries, Harewood Leisure

Feel free to say hello when you are out and about, who knows where you may see us next in Harrogate !
