47 door supervisors who were checked in bars and clubs in Grimsby and Cleethorpes, were all found to be holding valid SIA licences.

Investigators from the SIA and officers from Humberside Police ran random compliance checks at 15 bars and clubs in the town centres.

SIA Head of Investigation Nigel Davis said: “This exercise follows on from work carried out earlier this year testing compliance with SIA licensing regulations so I am pleased with the results.”

He added: “Grimsby and Cleethorpes attract a high number of holiday makers and weekend trippers so with the summer holidays approaching, we want to ensure that individuals working in positions of trust are doing so legally and hold SIA licences.”

Inspector Tom Shaw said: “We work in close partnership with local door staff as they are integral to a safe night time economy for our community.”

As the SIA head of investigation says above, it is very important that as we approach the Summer season all door supervisors are fully licensed to ensure a safe and enjoyable nightlife.
