Short-notice cover available when your regular provider or night porter cancels. ### Why professional matters Hotels are judged on presence at 2am as much as on breakfast at 8am. A poorly briefed guard behind reception damages guest reviews, exposes duty managers to lone-working risk, and leaves the property under-defended against real incidents, from intoxicated guests to attempted room breaches. What happens if you leave it ## The cost of the wrong provider, or none at all. Risk ### Guest review damage Rude, uniformed heavy-handedness at 1am ends up in a review within 24 hours. In hospitality the security team is the property brand, get it wrong and rate-per-night drops with it. Risk ### Lone-working exposure for duty managers Duty managers left alone overnight to handle intoxicated guests, disputes or medical incidents is a serious duty-of-care issue, and increasingly a factor in staff retention. Risk ### Uncontrolled access to residents' floors Tail-gating past reception, unauthorised access to guest floors or key-card sharing puts every resident at risk and every room at claim risk. Risk ### Room-turn & eviction risk Evicting a non-paying or disruptive guest without trained security is a physical and legal risk. Getting it wrong ends up in court, in insurance, or in a viral video. Risk ### VIP handling mistakes High-net-worth, celebrity or corporate VIP guests expect a discreet, competent presence, not a spotlight. Wrong posture = complaint from the exact guest you built the suite for. Risk ### Coverage gaps at handover The dead time between last shift and first shift is where losses happen: pilfering, guest walkouts, unpaid bills. Continuous concierge cover closes that gap. Our process ## A clear system, from first call to sign-off. 1. Step 01 ### Property brief & walk-round We walk the property with your GM or duty manager, review layout, incident history and known risk points, and agree the cover profile. 2. Step 02 ### Written cover plan Costed proposal: officer numbers per shift, uniform, radio plan, duty-manager integration and escalation protocol. 3. Step 03 ### Onboard & induct Officers are inducted to your property SOPs, fire plan, PMS access as needed, and any brand standards you operate to. 4. Step 04 ### Deploy & integrate Team works alongside your duty manager and night team. Named supervisor is your single point of contact and picks up escalations. 5. Step 05 ### Report & review Written shift report each morning; regular review meetings with your GM to tune cover to occupancy and incident pattern. Benefits ## What you actually get out of it. ### Guest-facing standards Officers presented, briefed and spoken like hospitality staff, because at 2am they are your hospitality staff. ### Duty-manager protection No more lone-working overnight; incidents are handled two-up, calmly and by the book. ### Controlled access Reception, lifts and residents' floors properly controlled without turning the lobby into an airport. ### Discreet VIP handling High-net-worth and celebrity guests handled with the low-key competence they pay for. ### Written incident log Every shift produces a written log, the paperwork you need for insurers, brand audits and licensing. ### One accountable supplier One supervisor, one contract, one invoice, not a rota of unrelated freelancers. The detail ## Methods, variations and how we deploy. A single page can't replace a walk-around and a written proposal, but this is what the work looks like in practice, so you know what you're comparing. ### Overnight concierge & night porter cover Our core hotel offer is contracted overnight cover, a professional, uniformed, SIA-licensed presence in your lobby and behind reception from close-of-front-desk to first shift. Officers handle late arrivals, taxi and transport coordination, controlled access, noise complaints and any incident that would otherwise land on a lone duty manager. Where you already have a night porter, we back them up rather than replace them. ### Controlled access & residents' floor security Tail-gating and unauthorised access to guest floors is one of the most common hotel security failures. We agree an access policy with you, lift control, key-card checks, visitor policy after a certain hour, and enforce it calmly at the lobby. Residents notice; opportunists notice faster. ### Incident response & de-escalation Intoxicated guests, disputes at the bar, welfare concerns in-room, attempted room-breaches, hotels see it all. Trained door supervisors are the right profile for this: they de-escalate verbally first, physical intervention only if unavoidable, and they know when to call the police. Incidents are written up before end of shift. ### Evictions, non-paying guests & problem stays Removing a non-paying or disruptive guest is a specific skill. Done wrong it's a viral video, a police complaint or a claim. Done right it's a calm conversation at a door, followed by a controlled departure. We handle those situations with the paperwork behind us, and we brief your duty manager on how to log the incident from the property side. ### VIP, celebrity & high-net-worth guests For high-profile guests we offer discreet meet-and-greet from car to suite, controlled lift and floor access, and a low-key overnight presence on the floor if required. We integrate with client-side protection teams where they exist rather than duplicating them, and we understand that discretion is the entire product. ### Weekend, festival & high-occupancy cover Bristol, Bath and Cardiff hotels feel the pressure of festival weekends, sporting events and stag/hen traffic. Uplifted cover for those weekends, a second officer, a floor patrol, an eviction stand-by, is far cheaper than the damage claim or brand hit that a single bad weekend can produce. FAQs ## Answers to the questions we hear most. ### Do your hotel officers wear branded uniform or something more guest-facing? + Both. We deploy in AV Group uniform as standard, or in a smart concierge-style presentation to match your brand standard.
