The Younger One
Security has been at the heart of Ian’s career for almost twenty years, undertaking various roles within the industry ranging from licensed venues and events, film location security, static sites and festivals.
Ian began his journey way back in 2005 starting in licensed venues across the Somerset area. He has had the privilege of working with some fantastic companies and built up a reputation of a hard working and reliable individual. Within his time in the industry, he have worked over most of the South West of England and London area. He proudly engaged in the role of Street Warden in his home town dealing with different situations each and every day. Working as a sole body or within a team, Ian is always professional with a great attitude, has laid back persona with a little bit of cheek thrown in for good measure!
A phone call in June 2020 changed everything for Ian and the seed was planted to start up the business. After sitting down with his two brothers, they brainstormed and registered our company ADI Security in August 2020. ADI Security are very much a family orientated business, all very close and anyone who works with them or for them are welcomed into the fold as family always comes first. They are always happy to support our staff however they need us.
Ian works tirelessly behind the scenes putting the work in place, planning the schedules and completing the administration to grow the business into a success.

The Middle One
Security has been at the heart of Darren’s career for the past twenty years, with nine working within the retail industry followed by fifteen years of experience working within the public sector.
Darren commenced a career of security within Her Majesty’s Prison service, and followed this with a long career as a police constable for Avon and Somerset Constabulary. During this time, Darren has developed his skills and behaviours alongside enhancing partnerships that have enabled him to smoothly transition into private security where he is able to apply these skills routinely.
During his police service, Darren has worked across Bristol and Somerset as a response officer but specialised within Neighbourhoods and pro-active teams, using his communication and investigative skills to manage any given situation. Darren also has significant experience of managing and developing staff within the public sector and has received commendation with a regional recognition for his performance.
In 2015, Darren left his role as a Police Officer to pursue further challenges, he qualified as a door supervisor which led him to become a Director with ADI security services, whilst also allowing him to focus on his family and the local community. The move from public to private sector has enabled Darren to follow his dream of running a family business with his two brothers whilst engaging with his community at the same time.
Darren works tirelessly within the community and continues to be a well known figure. He has managed Winscombe Warriors within the local village for the past 7 years and has successfully passed his FA level one coaching badge.
