Door supervisor convicted for working with revoked licence

On both 5 October 2024 and 25 October 2024, Conrad Grice operated as a door supervisor at multiple venues in Pontefract and Castleford despite having had his Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence revoked due to a conviction. 

He pleaded guilty to two offences contrary to Section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 at Kirklees (Huddersfield) Magistrates’ Court on 15 April 2025. 

Grice was ordered to pay an £80 fine, £32 victim surcharge, and £987 in prosecution costs within 28 days. 

He was in breach of his suspended sentence order as a result of these convictions. The breach was marked by extending his supervision period by 12 months and adding 10 rehabilitation activity requirement days.

Zulqarnain Tanweer, criminal investigations officer at the SIA, said: 

The SIA has an important role protecting the public through our licensing regime. Mr Grice put himself and others at risk by working multiple times as a door supervisor when his licence had been revoked. 

This conviction sends a clear message to those who plan to attempt to circumvent our licensing rules. You will be caught and you will be prosecuted.
