From a packed night at The Keys Nightclub to a performance at the Princess Alexandra Auditorium, Yarm's evenings need people on the door who know crowds. We supply licensed door supervisors, stewards and event planning.
Trusted Protection in Yarm
Yarm has 34 pubs, bars and nightclubs within 5km, plus a nightclub and an auditorium that can fill on a busy weekend. Each of those brings queues, bag checks, licensing conditions and the job of getting everyone home without trouble. Our door supervisors and stewards are SIA-licensed, and for larger audiences we write the search, capacity and evacuation arrangements Martyn's Law expects. The control room monitors each deployment from book-on to the end of the night.
Yarm Business Profile
There are 55 security workers in our network who live within 10 miles of Yarm. Fifteen are licensed and ready to take shifts, and five drive, which helps when a patrol needs to cover a venue car park and a business estate in one evening. Door teams are briefed on the venue's licence conditions before they start, and incidents are written up in the digital report.
Stockton-on-Tees has 5,780 registered businesses. Professional services lead at 1,115, or 19.3% against 15.6% nationally, followed by construction at 915 and business services at 465. Health and care stands at 5.4% compared with 4.4%. Offices and clinics generally look for reception cover and key holding, while builders on the 19 mapped construction sites may need towers and night patrols.
The Keys Nightclub and the Princess Alexandra Auditorium are the two main venues within 5km. Where 200 or more people can attend, Martyn's Law will apply when its duties begin, and we help operators with searches, stewarding and written procedures. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Yarm
Cleveland Police identify Yarm High Street as a focus, citing off-road bikes ridden along it and begging. For shops and bars on the street, a visible officer and good CCTV coverage make both easier to manage. Local retail also stretches to Mandale Park, Sandgate Park, Greenside, Basselton Court Shops and Spitfire Shops.
Away from the evening trade, Yarm's commercial sites include Durham Lane Industrial Park, Teesside Estate, Airfield Industrial Estate and Warburtons. These are daytime operations, so their exposure comes when staff go home, and alarm response or a patrol fits better than a guard. Yarm, Allens West and Eaglescliffe stations are all close.
