Blackpool bouncer had no licence
Posted on 07. Mar, 2010 by admin in SIA Licence News
A MAN illegally worked as a door security officer at Gaiety’s bar on Blackpool Promenade.
Raphael Nakpoberuo, 29, of Central Drive, Blackpool, admitted having no door supervisor’s licence.
He was given a 12 month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £125 costs by Blackpool magistrates.
Victoria Cartmell, prosecuting for Blackpool Council, said the defendant’s licence was revoked in April last year.
The defendant told the officer he was shocked to hear his badge had been revoked.
His lawyer said he had failed to respond to correspondence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA), which issued licences, because letters were sent to his previous address in Cheshire.
On getting no reply the SIA had automatically revoked Nakpoberuo’s door supervisor’s licence.
