At Carter Security, we understand the unique challenges that licensed gaming venues and other late-night establishments face, especially during the festive season. With over 30 years of experience in the security industry, we’re here to help you navigate this busy time and ensure a safe environment for your staff and customers alike.

December is one of the most exciting times of the year, with people out and about celebrating the holidays. Unfortunately, the festive spirit can sometimes lead to overindulgence, and for some, their behaviour may become more rowdy and disruptive. Licensed gaming venues, in particular, can see an increase in issues as alcohol lowers inhibitions and tempers flare.

Without proper measures in place, this can quickly escalate, putting both staff and other customers at risk. That’s where we come in.

Door supervisors are your first line of defence. Not only do they control who enters your venue, but they also monitor behaviour, de-escalate conflicts, and enforce rules such as age restrictions and dress codes. At Carter Security, all of our guards hold an SIA licence, ensuring they’re fully trained, professional, and compliant with UK regulations.

Our door supervisors are equipped to handle a range of scenarios with tact and authority, from denying entry to intoxicated individuals to stepping in if an altercation arises. They also understand the importance of customer service, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and valued while maintaining a safe environment.

In addition to door supervision, manned guarding within the premises can be an invaluable asset. Manned guards provide a visible and approachable security presence, helping to deter potential troublemakers and offering reassurance to customers and staff.

Our team can monitor gaming areas, ensuring fairness and compliance, and respond quickly to any incidents, minimising disruption to your business operations. Their presence alone often encourages better behaviour, creating a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

At Carter Security, we’re committed to fostering a culture of safety, and we’re proud to support schemes like Ask for Angela. This initiative is a discreet way for individuals who feel unsafe or threatened to seek help by approaching a member of staff and using the code phrase. Our guards are well-versed in responding to such requests, ensuring that vulnerable customers receive the assistance they need.

With over three decades of experience, Carter Security has built a reputation for reliability and professionalism. We work closely with our clients to tailor security solutions that meet their specific needs. Whether it’s a licensed gaming venue, a nightclub, or a late-night bar, we’ve got the expertise to keep your establishment running smoothly.

Our SIA-licensed guards are not only highly trained but also approachable and customer-focused, making them the perfect fit for hospitality settings.
