Nick Love (* 24. Dezember 1969 in London) ist ein britischer Regisseur und Drehbuchautor.

Karriere
2001 drehte Love Goodbye Charlie Bright wofür er bei dem Internationalen Filmfestival von Chicago für den Gold Hugo nominiert wurde. Love verfasste das Drehbuch und führte Regie bei The Football Factory, ein Film aus dem Hooligan-Milieu um den Londoner Fußballclub FC Chelsea. Das Drehbuch beruhte auf dem Roman von John King. Der Film war gekennzeichnet von einem zynischen Blick abgestumpfter Schläger auf ihr Leben als Hooligans, der die Alltagslangeweile verdrängen soll. Ein Jahr später drehte Love unter anderem mit den Football-Factory-Schauspielern Danny Dyer, Tamer Hassan und Roland Manookian den Film The Business. Hier geht es um das Thema Kriminalität und den fatalistischen Rückblick eines Gangsters, der dem Alltag entfliehen wollte. Auch seine weiteren Filme Outlaw, The Firm – 3. Halbzeit und The Crime haben Kriminalität bzw. Hooliganismus als Themen. Bei Outlaw arbeitete Love mit Schauspielern, die zu der ersten Garde der britischen Darsteller gehören: Sean Bean, Sean Harris und Bob Hoskins. Des Weiteren war wieder Loves Stammschauspieler Danny Dyer, der in vier von sechs Filmen Loves mitspielte, Teil des Ensembles.

Am 1. August 2012 war der Film The Sweeney Eröffnungsfilm des Internationalen Filmfestivals von Locarno. Love sagte, dass er Sweeney schon lange verfilmen wollte aber die Produzenten auf einem amerikanisierten Stil bestanden.

Persönliches
Love war kurz mit Patsy Palmer verheiratet.

Online auto marketplace AutoWurld is now offering a free mobile service to sell used cars.
Online auto marketplace AutoWurld is now offering a free mobile service to sell used cars. The company contends the new tool allows dealers and consumers to list used cars for sale in 60 seconds or less.
AutoWurld Mobile — available for iOS and Android — enables smartphone and tablet users to scan the vehicle VIN, import vehicle data directly from Kelley Blue Book, enter a price, add images, and list their car.
After those five steps are taken, each vehicle is posted to AutoWurld.com as a retail and or wholesale listing.
AutoWurld is designed to centralize retail, wholesale and auction channels into one destination with no listing fees for consumers, and no transaction fees or auction fees for dealers.
Paul Dyke, general manager at El Cajon Ford, is already reaping the benefits of the tool.
"We like being part of a national network that provides wholesale and retail value to our dealership," said Dyke. "AutoWurld is constantly introducing new tools and technology to improve profitability. Every week AutoWurld has more dealers and they just launched a mobile app to give us access to consumer inventory. I would encourage any dealer, franchise or independent, to sign up and grow the network. It's quick, easy, and there is no long-term commitment required."
Back in March, MyWurld Inc. launched AutoWurld as a new 24-7 subscription-based wholesale network and national online auto marketplace that aims to bring wholesale, retail and auction channels together.


Stuart Lodge – Can the New Government help get the SIA back on track?

"Let's hope it does, and that business licensing has real teeth.
"A rigorous licensing regime will boost standards and remove companies operating outside the law; and also provide a useful benchmark for security users selecting a supplier and help responsible suppliers in the sector to win contracts. Indirectly, it would address the downward spiral of price cutting and disinvestment, pressure that forces down standards.
"Business licensing was due to start in May 2015 but there still does not appear to be any sign of this coming to fruition. It was felt by the industry that the ACS Approved Contractor Scheme was the precursor to business licensing. But if it does come into force what will be the value of ACS? And what of the application fees we have paid, up to £2,400 each, and the annual £15 fee per licensed individual?
"Initially, when there were large backlogs in processing license applications, a company could issue an officer with a License Dispensation Notice (LDN). But now these are very rarely used. So again one must question the value of ACS.
"More recently companies have tried to use the scoring system as a differentiator but the SIA does not support this. So, as with the licensing issue, the question must be asked as to what the employer company gets in return.
"Another opportunity that must be grasped is to drive up standards and perceived quality, and attract good applicants, through a wage mechanism that establishes the 'living wage' for the sector. This is not just an issue of fairness but also of industry standards.
"The SIA says that it is an advisory as well as a regulatory body, so it must be seen to take a lead. There is an opportunity now to recognise the living wage and make it mandatory as part of business licencing.
"We could go further than this and develop a tiered wage structure across the sector, to recognise and reward security officers according to experience and training.
"We have experience of this at Lodge Service through our sister company in South Africa, where recommended pay scales are in place, industry-wide, with associated charging rates.
"There is a grade and pay rate for security officers, for example, at the lower level for those who are experienced in tasks such as gate house duties and as night officers – and higher grades for those with greater responsibilities, as a manager or trainer.
"Pay scales in the UK could relate to a minimum number of years' experience, as well as weighting for a London or other city allowance.
"Given the problems experienced with some training colleges issuing accreditation fraudulently – exposed by the BBC in March 2015 – recognising and rewarding experience, recorded and managed by SIA licensed companies, would be a major step forward.
"A rate increase can be made mandatory for procurement through legislation – the benefits of which will be passed on to staff in pay increases that will in turn raise retention and service quality.
"It is recognised that the clients have a limited budget for security, but the opportunity is there to achieve a higher standard of security even if it means a reduction in the number of hours covered. Even with a tiered wage structure, there would be plenty of scope for healthy competition between suppliers.
"The role of the SIA in actively working with and supporting the security sector is more important than ever before, given the current level of threat in the UK from both theft and terrorism. The SIA has good experience of working with our sector; what it just needs now is the relevant authority and resources from Government to get back on track to meet its original remit.
