Six new voices. One shared focus: the future of the night-time economy.

We’re proud to welcome six new members to the NTIA Board, bringing experience from music, nightlife, equality, law, security, hospitality, research and city leadership.

Joining the NTIA Board:

Dr Charisse Beaumont - CEO & Co-Founder of Black Lives in Music (BLiM)
Judge Jules - DJ & Music Lawyer
Graeme Park - DJ & Senior Lecturer
Simone D’Antonio - Urban Researcher & Night-Time Economy Specialist
Michael Stewart - Belfast City Centre Night Czar
Satia Rai - CEO of the International Professional Security Association (IPSA)

The future of nightlife isn’t just about what happens inside a venue. It’s about the people working behind the scenes, the businesses keeping the doors open, the artists creating culture, the teams keeping people safe, and the cities that come alive after dark.

Together, we’re working to build a night-time economy that is safer, stronger, fairer and built to last.

Nightlife is about more than going out. It is where people learn to connect.

From first gigs and new friendships to discovering music, culture and communities, these experiences help build confidence and a sense of belonging. For a generation that missed many of these moments during the pandemic, the impact has been bigger than a gap in customers.

As Michael Kill explores, rebuilding nightlife means creating spaces where people feel welcome, safe and comfortable connecting with others.

The list recognises individuals making a genuine impact across the membership sector, with this year’s rankings informed by research, public nominations, content activity and real engagement rather than simply votes.

Well done to Michael and to everyone recognised in this year’s Top 100.

HMRC and the SIA are stepping up their work across the private security sector and businesses need to take notice.

Joint enforcement activity is already taking place across the UK. HMRC has reported £48 million in additional PAYE and National Insurance contributions following a previous campaign, after workers were moved onto payroll.

The focus is clear. Making sure workers who should be employees are paid through payroll, protecting employment rights and benefits while supporting fair competition for businesses doing things properly.

HMRC will continue to support businesses that want to get their tax right, but where businesses choose not to comply, enforcement action can follow.

For security companies and those operating across the late night economy, now is the time to understand your responsibilities and make sure your payroll and employment arrangements are in order.

Venues are more than places to go out. They become part of a community’s history, identity and sense of belonging.

NTIA welcomes Westminster City Council’s decision to recognise Heaven as an Asset of Community Value, following our nomination of the landmark LGBTQ+ venue. Since opening in 1979, Heaven has been a vital part of London’s nightlife and LGBTQ+ community, giving generations of people a place to connect, express themselves and feel at home.

This recognition matters because when venues like Heaven disappear, we lose more than a dancefloor. We lose spaces, stories and shared history that have shaped our cities and the people who live in them.

We congratulate Jeremy Joseph and the Heaven team. Read the full statement to find out more about more: https://buff.ly/RKPVCl0

The first opportunity to prevent an incident is often before it's even begun.

The International Professional Security Association and the Night Time Industries Association have launched a free frontline pocket guide, designed to support security professionals with learning when it matters.

With 133 written topics and 60 short videos, the guide covers searches and entry, conflict, vulnerability, drugs awareness, first aid and emergencies.

Because getting licensed is only the beginning. The Pocket Guide provides practical refresher information that professionals can return to throughout their careers — reinforcing training as experience grows.
