MGPC Security provides professional, SIA-licensed door supervision for licensed venues and corporate events throughout East Anglia. Based in Lowestoft, we deliver reliable crowd management, entry control, and customer safety across the entire region.
Permanent, routine deployment at licensed premises like bars and nightclubs, focusing on long-term local licensing compliance, regular patron rapport, and steady weekend crowd flow.
Temporary, scalable deployment at one-off or short-term gatherings like festivals, corporate events, and concerts, focusing on high-volume entry management, ticket/credential verification, and dynamic perimeter safety.
To ensure complete legal compliance and guest safety, our door supervision service delivers concrete operational components rather than a simple physical presence. Every deployment includes:
MGPC Security deploys SIA-licensed door supervisors across a diverse range of hospitality sectors, licensed premises, and corporate environments. We adapt our deployment numbers and entry-control tactics to match the unique risk profile and legal licensing conditions of each specific venue.
MGPC Security deploys SIA-licensed door supervisors across a diverse range of hospitality sectors, licensed premises, and corporate environments. We adapt our deployment numbers and entry-control tactics to match the unique risk profile and legal licensing conditions of each specific venue.
We review your premises licence conditions, mandatory local authority regulations, capacity thresholds, and venue-specific layout to identify key operational risks and entry points.
We design a tailored security assignment instruction plan that defines precise door entry protocols, search policies, ID check guidelines, and emergency evacuation procedures.
We match specific, SIA-licensed door supervisors to your venue based on your operational needs. We select the right profiles whether you require high-visibility crowd management for late bars or discreet customer service for corporate events.
Our team arrives fully briefed, uniformed, and equipped to manage your entrances. On-site team leaders maintain active liaison with venue management and local networks like Pubwatch throughout the shift.
We deliver full digital incident logs, refusal registers, and compliance reports immediately after operations end, followed by regular management reviews to adapt to emerging trends or regulatory updates.
Every door supervisor we deploy holds a valid, individually verified SIA licence and has passed rigorous background vetting. This strict compliance guarantees that your venue remains fully aligned with local authority licensing objectives.
Our door supervisors are trained at MGPC's own Highfield-accredited training centre. Beyond basic security, our team undergoes dedicated training in physical intervention, conflict de-escalation, and modern safeguarding initiatives like Ask for Angela.
Our management team and supervisors operate exclusively within Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire. We maintain active, professional relationships with East Anglia's local licensing officers, police forces, and regional Pubwatch networks.
We assign permanent, familiar faces to your venue rather than rotating staff every weekend. This consistency allows our team to build vital rapport with your regular patrons, understand your venue's unique layout, and integrate seamlessly with your staff.
The primary difference is that an SIA-licensed door supervisor is legally qualified to work at licensed premises that sell alcohol or provide regulated entertainment. While standard security guards manage assets and property, door supervisors receive additional specialized training in physical intervention, crowd control, and licensing laws.
Yes. All personnel deployed in a Door Supervisor role are required to hold a valid Security Industry Authority (SIA) Door Supervisor licence appropriate to the duties they undertake. We verify licensing as part of our compliance procedures and require licences to remain valid throughout deployment, helping ensure our clients receive professional, compliant and appropriately qualified security personnel.
Under the Licensing Act 2003, door supervisors play an important role in supporting the four licensing objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm.
Our door supervisors work professionally with venue management and other stakeholders to help uphold these objectives while maintaining a safe, welcoming and well-managed environment for customers, staff and the wider community.
There is no universal legal ratio specifying how many door supervisors every licensed venue must have. The number required will depend on the conditions attached to your premises licence, any requirements imposed by the licensing authority, and a suitable risk assessment considering factors such as capacity, operating hours, alcohol sales and the nature of the venue.
We recommend always checking your premises licence first and can help assess your venue to determine an appropriate and proportionate level of SIA-licensed door supervision.
Yes.
