Confessions of a Doorman Maria's Story Doing the Doors

On the doors On the doors


Thanks for looking at my website.

I started my career in security and protection way back in the '80s on the doors in my home town of Norwich. I then attended a six-week Close Protection training course in Hereford and ended up travelling the world looking after the rich (but not so famous). I eventually became the International Director of Training for The WFB up until the year 2000 when it was sold in to an Icelandic subsidiary of Securitas. A few years later I founded, and was President, of the British Bodyguard Association (BBA). The BBA was passed onto new owners at the end of 2008 and has become the biggest association of its kind in the world.

I started writing in 2002 and published my first book; Doing the Doors, which is now a genre best-seller. Confessions of a Doorman, Maria´s Story and Bouncers and Bodyguards followed. For a while I also published and edited Protection News for the close protection community, The Circuit on-line magazine for the BBA and On The Doors - the only quality magazine in the world dedicated exclusively to Door Supervision. I have a number of new book projects planned for 2009 / 2010.

Best wishes and stay safe !
