Bridgegate Security Achieves SIA Approved Contractor Status 

Bridgegate Security has successfully achieved Approved Contractor status under the Security Industry Authority (SIA) Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) for Door Supervision. 

The accreditation follows an independent assessment conducted by SSAIB and recognises the systems, compliance standards and professionalism Bridgegate has developed across the business. 

What is the SIA Approved Contractor Scheme? 

The ACS is widely recognised as the quality benchmark for private security companies in the UK. Organisations are assessed against a range of criteria including leadership, staff management, operational delivery and customer service. 

What the Assessment Found 

During the assessment, the auditor reviewed company policies, operational procedures and documentation, alongside interviews with staff and leadership across the business. 

The Summary of Findings highlighted several key strengths, including: 

  • A culture of openness and transparency, with leadership welcoming feedback from staff, clients and stakeholders 
  • A strong commitment to continuous improvement, with the business willing to adapt and refine its processes where needed 
  • Highly engaged and positive staff, who demonstrated a clear understanding of their duties and responsibilities 
  • Experienced leadership, with managers showing strong knowledge of industry standards, legislation and recognised best practice 
  • A clear focus on customers, consumers and employees, supporting the delivery of professional security services 

The assessment also recognised the strong operational foundation Bridgegate has built over the past 13 years, as the business continues to grow its workforce and develop relationships with venues and partners across the sector. 

A Milestone for Bridgegate 

Tristan, Operations Director at Bridgegate Security, said: 

“Achieving ACS accreditation is an important milestone for Bridgegate Security. 

While our focus has always been on delivering high standards for our clients and our teams, the accreditation provides formal recognition of the systems, compliance and professionalism the business has developed over recent years.

It reflects the commitment of our people across the organisation and strengthens our ability to continue building a professional, trusted security business.”

Looking Ahead 

Achieving ACS status marks an important step in Bridgegate’s continued development and reinforces the company’s commitment to maintaining high standards across its operations.
