A man has been convicted after allowing somebody else to use his Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence to work illegally as a door supervisor.
A man who gave his Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence to a friend to work as a door supervisor has been handed a 12-month community order for fraud and providing false information to the SIA.
Mohammed Saimon was scheduled to work as a door supervisor at a venue in Billericay, Essex on 11 May 2024. The venue management recognised that the person who turned up to work was not Saimon. They contacted the security company, who came to the premises and challenged the man.
The security company manager took possession of the SIA licence and called Saimon, who told him that he had sent his friend to work at the venue as he was unable to do so that night.
Mohammed Saimon admitted that he had given his licence to a friend. He was sentenced at Thames Magistrates’ Court on Monday 6 January to a 12-month community order. He must complete 80 hours’ unpaid work and pay £1,858 costs to the SIA.
