Door Supervisors for Pubs, Bars & Venues

SIA-licensed, experienced, and calm under pressure. The right people for your door.

Experienced door staff who set the right tone

A good door supervisor does more than check IDs. They read the room, deal with situations before they escalate, and make sure your customers and staff feel safe. That takes experience, training, and the right temperament.

Iron Base door supervisors are SIA licensed, fully vetted, and used to working the door at busy London venues. They're there to protect your business and the people inside it, without causing unnecessary drama.

SIA Door Supervisor Licence – what it means

In the UK, anyone working as a door supervisor at a licensed venue must hold a valid Door Supervisor licence issued by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). This is a legal requirement, not optional.

Government-regulated

The SIA is the UK government body that regulates the private security industry. Every licence is individually checked and renewed.

Training and vetting

Getting the licence requires passing a training course, a criminal record check, and identity verification. It's not easy to obtain.

Your protection too

Using unlicensed door staff is a criminal offence and puts your premises licence at risk. Every Iron Base operative is licensed and verified.

Getting door staff sorted

We keep it simple. No lengthy contracts required to get started.
