There is often a misconception that those that work in the security industry do not get paid as much or as well as their counterparts.

That misconception is, of course, false as often Door Supervisors and Security Guards meet the national minimum wage requirements and, in most scenarios, actually exceed that amount.

G4S, the world’s leading global security company that provides job opportunities for 1000’s of Security Guards in the UK currently offers £8.07 per hour for their contracted staff.

That would equal to £17,212 per year.

A licenced Door Supervisor on the other hand can earn on average £26,112 per year, a figure that has also increased by £4,143 since 2013.
