SIA
Revokes Company Director’s Licence
A Manchester man who ran a security company is
the first director to have his licence revoked by the Security Industry
Authority (SIA) based on non-conviction information.
The company director, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had received
warnings from the SIA for deploying unlicensed security operatives and
failing to respond to requests made under Section 19 of the Private Security
Industry Act 2001 – Powers of Entry and Inspection.
Rachael White, an SIA Head of Investigation, said:
'We always maintain a fair and just approach to enforcement and work closely
with companies and their employee to help them work within the law. In
this case, the director made no attempt to comply, and by working against
us, led to his SIA licence being revoked. We hope this sends a strong
message to other non-compliant company directors.'
