Three Security Bosses
Guilty of SIA Offences
Guilty of
Providing Unlicensed Security Operatives
24 April 2007:
Yesterday at Merseyside Crown Court, three men from security company Secure
Guarding UK Ltd were each found guilty of seven offences under Section 5 of
the Private Security Industry Act 2001 - providing unlicensed security
operatives.
The three men had
been arrested and charged by Merseyside Police as part of Operation Seahog
- tackling rogue security firms and unlicensed security activity in the
Merseyside area.
- Company director, Philip
Jellyman (36) of The Mews, Parbold, was fined £1,500 with £60 costs
- Company director, Wayne
Margerison (40) of Glade
Drive, Little Sutton, Wirral was fined
£1,500 with £60 costs
- Operations manager,
Steven Margerison (42) of Bowley
Road, Old Swan, was fined £1,000 with £60
costs
· Lucia Howland, an SIA Head
of Investigation said:
"I'd like to
thank Merseyside Police for their support in tackling unlicensed security
activity in the city. We all have a clear role in working together to help
protect the public from untrained, unqualified and unlicensed security
operatives. SIA licensing ensures that those in positions of trust are fit
and proper people for their role and the people of Merseyside deserve no
less."
Chief
Superintendent Andy Cooke of Merseyside Police said:
"Since last
summer Merseyside Police has constantly shown its commitment to ridding the
city of rogue security firms who use illegal practices and thrive on the
gains to be made from the regeneration of the city prior to the Capital of
Culture year.
We are not
prepared to let such firms get a foothold in Merseyside at the expense of
legitimate business. Since the operation targeting rogue security firms
started last summer Merseyside Police has taken action against 241 people
for Section 3 offences under the Private Security Industry Act 2001
(working without an SIA licence). The three people fined today were in
breach of Section 5 offences under the attack, which is aimed at those who
employ security guards without a licence."
