Neville Carseldine --  During the late nineties, Neville Carseldine and his brother Bruce saw potential for a higher standard of security provider, particularly within the music industry. The subsequent years have seen the formation and establishment of Venue Security as the foremost security provider to the music industry in Australasia. Neville's management style has developed throughout a security career which began with cash handling for Securitas before the company was bought by Armourguard in 1995. Neville moved to work at Sky City Casino where he oversaw cash movements throughout the building. In 1998 he was re-employed as Chubb's Operations Manager, Coin/Cash dept, before setting up Venue Security in 2000. Since then Neville has injected a higher standard of security within the music industry. He has completed various security operations, including two Lord of the Rings premieres, the Dalai Lama's visit in 2001, and personal protection duties for actor Tom Cruise and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder.
(Photo withheld) Bruce Carseldine's formidable security background confirms his place as New Zealand's leading concert security manager. Bruce began supervising barrier staff in the early nineties and has developed procedures envied by the industry throughout Australasia. His expertise is underlined by the distinct lack of incidents at events secured by Venue Security. Bruce also boasts an investigative background in the private sector. He is trained to undertake surveillance work, but mainly operates in a consultancy role. A skilled martial artist, Bruce holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and has practiced Brazillian Jujitsu. Throughout the late nineties Bruce completed passenger protection operations on cruise ships in North, South and Central America as well as Asia. Derek Moors --  Derek Moors' extensive security experience and background in the martial arts qualifies him as Venue Security's chief trainer and personal protection leader. Derek won several national boxing titles in Samoa and New Zealand and reached the highest levels of budokan and jujitsu. He also forged a short career on the small screen when he completed stunts and fight scenes for Xena, Warrior Princess. Derek has previously worked with other security companies. He was once tasked with escorting The America's Cup on its historic trip to London for reconstruction, following the mindless attack by activist Ben Nathan. Derek then toured with the cup throughout Europe and went on to complete security duties for two Americas Cup syndicates. Derek has been with Venue Security since its formation and has been responsible for cultivating many of the company's reliable staff members. Phillip Walters --  Phillip Walters has also been with Venue Security since 2000. A practicing structural draughtsman and designer, Phil brings the valuable skills of mapping and planning to Venue Security. He has worked on projects internationally and at home, including Singapore's Sasco Hangar, Te Papa Museum and Auckland's Ascot Metropolis Hotel & Tower. His attention to detail has proven invaluable to organisers, emergency services and security when preparing for larger events such as The Big Day Out and U2 concerts. Having been in the security industry for more than twenty years, Phil's experience is evident on the ground when dealing with staff, patrons and clients alike. Phil counts The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and UB40 among the various acts he's secured over his busy career, which includes fifteen years as a doorman at Killarney Street Basserie in Takapuna. |
