Security Alert UK Ltd

Best in the business!!

Worst Company ever, rude staffs with no proper training.

Poor. Borderline useless. My experience with SA UK is of the perspective of a paying customer at an event SA UK were stewarding. I have noticed this behaviour at several of these events, however this time it directly affected me so I feel compelled to review. We had paid for good floor seats at a boxing event. It's common knowledge that when you're at floor level if anyone stands up it immediately blocks the view for many behind and this was policed diligently during the early part of the night, however once the main event started it was like the security completely disappeared. The zone we were sat in had a specific colour of wrist band. As soon as the main event started and the lights went down, 5 or 6 people made their way to the front of the block and stood right in front of us against the railings, not a single wristband in sight, let alone the correct colour. Our view (and about 10 rows behind) are now 100% blocked. We tried to reason with them to move out of the way, but we were wholly ignored and met with aggression. Several of us gestured to the closest member of SA UK security to do something about the gate-crashers, he sauntered over and said, "What am I supposed to do?" - Your job! You're supposed to do your job! The top guys at SA UK who look after boxers, celebs etc. are probably great, but the crowd control leave a lot to be desired! At every boxing event I've been to I've seen this happen - spectators pouring in from all sections to get a better seat/view as soon as the lights go down for the main event. Why bother paying for good seats when it seems like you can pick & choose!

SA UK security with thieves among them absolutely rubbish service Went to sausage and cider festival Derbyshire with some family one of my family members had some aftershave and beard oil in their bags was told not allowed to take these in so security said we will have to take these so he said ok and took a picture of them with the security guard and said I will collect them later when he returned to collect the items was told they had gone missing he asked what do you mean they said that they had been stolen he said your joking as a security member took them from me and shown them the picture they said they would contact the boss and see why they could do ok he said and went back later seen the same security guard asked him what was happening he his boss said theirs nothing he can do he should of collected them sooner so tough absolutely shocking security the people your suppose to count on in a role like that stealing not good advertisement for a security firm didn’t see many of them around the event either and odd ones we did see some was smoking ecigs while working and the ones on the entrance in the morning was sat in their vehicles smoking and on their phone as I have worked security before I find this absolutely shocking from a security firm !!
