ViewDoor supervisors
Door supervisors are the first face of your venue. Our SIA licensed teams control entry, manage conflict calmly and help you keep to your licensing conditions.
ViewFire marshals
Trained fire marshals help keep people safe by keeping escape routes clear, checking basic fire safety arrangements and guiding people calmly if the alarm sounds.
ViewTemporary simultaneous evacuation fire marshals
When a building has moved from a stay put to a temporary simultaneous evacuation strategy, our trained fire marshals provide the on-site cover, delivered in line with the NFCC Simultaneous Evacuation Guidance.
