I've been involved in the event security industry for well over 10 years and am currently an Operations manager working for AP Security.

The first event I worked was at the old Wembley Stadium for the Euro 96 game between England and Holland. From there, I've worked in many roles at numerous venues and events including:

• Security manager at the HMV Forum, Kentish Town
• Security manager, front of house, back stage and pit work at O2 Academy Brixton, O2 Academy Islington and Birmingham Academy
• Security manager at the Henley Festival
• Senior safety supervisor and response team supervisor at Wembley Stadium
• Backstage supervisor at Lovebox and Love Music Hate Racism at Victoria Park
• Security at the Relentless Garage
• Security at numerous Melas at Barking, Gunnersbury and Lloyd Parks

Training

Throughout my time in the industry, I have also attending a number of training courses. These have included use of Minimum Force, Front of House Pit Management, Training Level 1 [Stewarding/Security] plus specific venue courses run at Twickenham, Wembley Stadium and the The O2 arena.

I attended a door supervisor course at Meido Consultants, which enabled me to obtain door licences for Lambeth, Westminster and Islington Councils.

I have also attended a course approved by the Security Industry Authority [SIA] and currently hold a door supervisors' licence, valid until July 2011.

I have also obtained the NVQ Level 2 in Event Stewarding and the Level 3 NVQ in Spectator Safety, both of which I took at Wembley Stadium.

Still having fun?

So 10-plus and I'm still enjoying the job. I've worked with some good [and awful] people and the job has given me a insight into the huge amount of work that's done to get any type of event on.

I've also been lucky enough to work at some great events and venues and met and worked with some very high profile people as well.

I'm not sure how long I will continue to do this, but I reckon I've got a good few years ahead of me, so who knows, you might see me at event you are attending.
