Weymouth beachside businesses step up security over busy summer season
There's been a huge influx of visitors to Weymouth so beachside businesses have ramped up security and safety measures
A number of Weymouth’s beachside businesses have stepped up security.
They've joined forces with local Security provider Real World Services.
The group, led by Daren Deadman, owner of The Boat Café thought it would make sense to work with Real World during what's been one of Weymouth’s busiest summer seasons in decades.
Currently appointed as Weymouth Town Council’s Security provider and working in conjunction with other surrounding beach based businesses, including the donkey rides, helter-skelter, trampolines and funfair rides, they have developed a security and safety plan that is now in place.
Daren Deadman, told Greatest Hits Radio Dorset: “Since the COVID restrictions have eased, we have seen visitor numbers go through the roof. As a group of businesses, we saw the good work that Real World Services’ Beach Security Patrols were doing in conjunction with Weymouth Town Council’s Beach team. So we thought it would make sense to see if they could work with us too. We are proud to be working with such a professional and successful local security company as Real World Services in these very busy times.”
With a record number of visitors flocking to the area and Weymouth beach this Summer, local services have been stretched to the max.
Real World Services have helped the council, visitors and the beachside business community.
Paul Roberts, Head of Security Operations at Real World Services, explains more: “Our SIA licensed Seafront & Beach Patrol Teams have had an extremely busy Summer working in conjunction with the Weymouth Beach Management Team and Community Support Officers advising and assisting the high volume of visitors to the seafront and beach areas, on seafront byelaws in a “soft enforcement” role. It is great to be working with Daren and the businesses surrounding The Boat Cafe who approached us to see how we could extend our services to cover and support them.
The collaboration with the beachside business community has resulted in us expanding our workforce and recruiting additional local security personnel to support this new contract. If anyone is interested in a career in security, please send us your CV to info@realworldservices.com."
