Best Bar None is extending its efforts to encourage and recognise door supervisors in all licensed premises nationally that participate in a Best Bar None scheme.
Partnering with Professional Security, who have a rapidly increasing staff base in excess of 2500 trained, accredited and licensed security personnel, we are proud to announce the launch of ‘Best on Door’.
Professional Security will sponsor and provide the ‘Best on Door’ award for each UK Best Bar None scheme, attending as many of the scheme award nights as possible to acknowledge security individuals’ hard work and personally present the award to the winning door team.
Brett McMann, Operations Director at Professional Security said “For some time I have wanted to launch an award to reward door supervisors for their ongoing efforts which would become nationally recognised. I am naturally thrilled that Best Bar None and Professional Security have been able to deliver this in partnership.”

Best Bar None, the national award scheme aimed at promoting responsible management and operation of alcohol licensed premises in the night time economy is pleased to announce that Philip Kolvin QC has been appointed by the national board and committee as their new chairman.
Philip Kolvin’s appointment follows the resignation of Best Bar None’s current chairman, Lord Redesdale, who has served in the role since 2007.
Philip is a leading licensing barrister whose clients span the industry, local government, national regulators and local communities. He is the Patron of the Institute of Licensing and the Chairman of Purple Flag. He is widely published in the field. As such, Philip will bring a wealth of knowledge and advice to the role.
Philip stated: “I am pleased and honoured to have been asked to chair this important scheme. Best Bar None plays a dual role of improving the economic viability of bars while reducing crime and disorder and the need for regulatory intervention, all crucial attributes in the current economic and political climate. I intend to use my time as Chairman to work with the Board to increase the prevalence and profile of the scheme while maintaining the rigorous standards required of Best Bar None participants.
Lord Redesdale stated: “After five enjoyable years, it seemed an appropriate time to step down and allow new leadership to take Best Bar None on to the next stage. Philip is someone I know will be able to add great guidance and focus to the national scheme.” |

Bars, pubs and clubs in Kensington and Chelsea are being urged to join the Best Bar None (BBN) scheme which is entering its fifth year in the Royal Borough. The scheme recognises licensees who demonstrate excellent management standards.
BBN encourages bar owners and managers to make sure their pubs and clubs are crime-free and that their customers do not disturb their neighbours. In 2011 Embargo 59, a long standing nightclub situated on the King’s Road in Chelsea, was the overall winner; it has been a member of the Best Bar None scheme since it began. Embargo 59 has continued to raise its own standards, works in partnership with the Council and others and also displays excellent management practices.
