🛡️ Security vs. Customer Service:

Why the Distinction Matters.

​There is a growing trend in the UK security industry to treat security operatives like an extension of the concierge or hospitality team. While being professional and approachable is part of the job, we must remember,
Security is not customer service.

​Mixing the two doesn't just confuse roles, it introduces genuine operational risk.

Here is why we need to get the balance right:
​🚫 The Danger of "People Pleasing"
​The primary goal of customer service is to satisfy and accommodate. The primary goal of security is to prevent, detect, and respond to threats. When these lines blur, the "Security" element often suffers.

​1. Reduced Situational Awareness
​If an officer is overly engaged in long-winded hospitality tasks or socialising to "please" a guest, their eyes aren't on the room. A distraction of just 30 seconds is all it takes for a prohibited item to pass or a vulnerability to be exploited.

​2. Compromised Access Control

​"The Polite Trap" is real. We’ve all seen it—the pressure to be "nice" can lead to relaxed verification. Whether it’s letting someone through a turnstile without a badge or failing to search a bag because the person "looks alright," over-politeness is a gift to a bad actor.

​3. Conflict De-escalation vs. Compliance

​Good customer service avoids saying "no." Effective security must say "no" when a breach occurs. If staff are conditioned only to please, they may hesitate to enforce site rules or challenge suspicious behaviour for fear of a "bad review."

​🛡️ The Professional Balance
​We aren’t suggesting security should be rude. Far from it. We advocate for "Professional Vigilance."

​Customer Service: Focused on the experience.
​Security: Focused on safety.

​A safe environment is the best customer service you can provide.

I'm keeping it 100 with you guys,
if you know me, you know that professionalism and image are priority, they're the bedrock of everything I do. 💪

​That’s why being part of the history-making Eubank vs Benn event was massive.

To be there, representing Lyonsden at the Fight of the Year 🥊... it was epic.

​The biggest compliment I can pay? I feel just as proud rocking this Lyonsden t-shirt as I do wearing my own Spartan gear.

Their standards are second to none, and that’s a vibe I want to be around.

​My head is still spinning from what a night it was. Seriously buzzing!

What a historic event to be a part of! 🤝

🚧 New Guidance on Vehicle Security Barriers 🚧

The National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) and Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) have published joint guidance on vehicle security barriers at event venues.

The document tackles a long-standing challenge: how to balance Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) with safe and efficient spectator flow.

Drawing on research from sixteen events at eight UK venues, the guidance highlights how poorly placed barriers can create bottlenecks, increase density, and introduce new risks. It provides evidence-based recommendations to help venues maintain ingress, egress, accessibility, and circulation while strengthening protection against vehicle-borne threats.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of British boxing royalty Ricky Hatton. 💔

My favorite boxer, a relentless pressure fighter and a warrior in the ring, Hatton was adored for his charisma and down-to-earth character outside of it.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones. Rest in peace, Ricky. 💯🥺🕊️

It was a pleasure to meet you 🥊
