Please can you tell me:

  • the total number of licence holders

2. Response

Thank you for your request for information received by the SIA on 14 June 2021. We will deal with your request in line with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

You have requested:

  • the total number of licence holders
  • the number of licence holders by sector
  • average wages for licence holders

Part of the information you have requested is exempt under section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, as the data (total number of licence holders and number of licence holders by sector) is readily accessible within the public domain. For ease of use, I have provided you with the link which will take you to our website and the location of the data: SIA licence holders.

We do not hold details of the average wages for licence holders in all sectors. In June 2021 research was undertaken by the SIA which confirmed that pay rates for door supervisors remained at approximately £10-£11 per hour.
