Steve Rimmington

Steve Rimmington is the Managing Director and Owner of Repton Security Ltd, a security services company based in the UK. He has a notable background as a retired Police Officer, having served for 18 years, including time as a specialist Firearms Officer. Rimmington transitioned into the private security sector after his retirement due to an injury sustained on duty in 1997.

In 2004, he founded Repton Security Ltd, which evolved from an existing company that offered security guarding and door supervision services. Under his leadership, Repton Security has been recognized for its commitment to legal compliance and ethical practices in the security industry, contrasting with many competitors who may operate outside of regulatory frameworks.12 Rimmington has actively advocated for better standards and pay within the door supervision sector, emphasizing the importance of treating employees as bona fide workers rather than self-employed contractors, which he believes undermines both worker rights and industry integrity.2

His experience in law enforcement and subsequent career in security services positions him as a knowledgeable figure in discussions about the challenges and future of the private security industry in the UK.2
