Gallery openings, theatre nights and conferences give the Jewellery Quarter a steady calendar of events. We supply stewards, door supervisors and Martyn's Law planning for venues of every size.
Trusted Protection in Jewellery Quarter
The Jewellery Quarter is a historic Birmingham district that still makes a large share of the UK's jewellery, and its venues reflect that creative streak. The Jewellery Quarter Conference Centre, Blue Orange Theatre, RBSA Gallery, St Pauls Gallery and Black Country Atelier all host audiences, from private views to ticketed shows. We put licensed door teams and crowd marshals on those evenings, and help organisers get ready for Martyn's Law wherever capacity can top 200.
Jewellery Quarter Business Profile
Event work needs numbers at short notice, and this is where Birmingham is strong for us. Our register lists 530 security workers whose homes lie inside ten miles of the Quarter, 215 of them presently licensed and working. Ninety have cars, fifteen are dog handlers and five are trained to operate CCTV. All of them clear BS 7858 checks and are employed directly on PAYE, never through agencies.
Birmingham supports about 38,605 registered firms. Professional services account for 5,245, retail for 4,695 and construction for 3,795. Retail is 12.2% of all local enterprises, measured against 7.8% for Britain, so store detectives and uniformed shop officers are in steady demand. Health and care, at 7.5% where Britain sits on 4.4%, brings reception cover and lone-worker welfare checks for clinics.
The Blue Orange Theatre, RBSA Gallery and Jewellery Quarter Conference Centre typify the venues we support. Martyn's Law will place obligations on any premises able to welcome 200 or more once it starts in 2027, and our advisers can draft search, queuing and evacuation arrangements.

Jewellery Quarter Security FAQs
Yes. Galleries and theatres such as the RBSA Gallery and Blue Orange Theatre are exactly the kind of venue we serve with licensed door teams and crowd marshals. With 215 licensed officers on our books inside ten miles, one-off events are easy to scale.
It is likely to be from spring 2027, when the Act is expected to take effect for premises that may hold 200 or more people. Many Jewellery Quarter venues, including conference rooms and theatres, could qualify. We help assess capacity, prepare search and evacuation steps and provide trained staff on the night.
Parcel theft from apartment buildings is a named police priority here. Concierge officers, access control on entrances and CCTV monitoring of post rooms all help, and our control room logs incidents for residents and managing agents.
We do. Retail represents 12.2% of Birmingham businesses, against 7.8% across Britain. For high-value premises we pair POD intruder alarms with alarm attendance, keyholding and uniformed guarding, and the fifteen dog handlers on our register can cover larger sites.
There are 125 construction projects on our 5km map. Static guards, CCTV towers, K9 handlers and patrol checks are all available, and ninety local officers with cars make site visits straightforward.
