Tate Modern

Security at Tate Modern – the busiest art gallery in the world, and currently attracting something in the region of four million visitors every year – is the responsibility of in-house security and safety manager Dennis Ahern. Dennis necessarily has to exhibit a broad range of management skills in relation to manpower on site, which entails a significant contracted resource at Tate Modern (courtesy of Wilson James and Trident Safeguards) and an in-house, unionised security workforce at Tate Britain.

Different management techniques involving negotiation and diplomacy all come into play (very often on a daily basis) while managing the sensibilities and expectancies of an established in-house team. Technology at Tate Modern takes in CCTV (circa 300 cameras). In addition, the various uses of alarms for asset protection need constant attention. Ongoing security reviews ensure that resources are commensurate with activity levels.
