Company boss ordered to pay thousands for supplying unlicensed security
A LANCASHIRE man has been ordered to pay a four-figure sum for providing unlicensed security to a school.
Martin Coe of Blackpool was last week handed a £6,548 Confiscation Order at Preston Crown Court, payable within three months.
If he fails to pay he will face a 60-day jail sentence. He was also ordered to pay court costs of £5,000 to the Security Industry Authority (SIA) within 12 months.
The decision follows the SIA's prosecution of Martin Coe last October. Coe was the former director of Evolution Security Services NW Limited (now dissolved). He was found guilty of two counts of providing unlicensed security to Baines School in Poulton and the Wyre Light pub in Fleetwood.
