SGC Security Services

In the aftermath of a busy bank holiday weekend, we want to take a moment to recognise and thank all of our teams who were working across both events and core sites.

While many were enjoying the sunshine, our SGC teams were on the ground, supporting events and maintaining essential site operations, often for long hours and in challenging heat. From managing busy crowds to ensuring day-to-day safety and continuity across sites, your work played a vital role in keeping people safe and operations running smoothly.

We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved and truly grateful for the hard work, energy and professionalism shown by everyone involved.

Thank you all for everything you do!

A key strength of our Martyn’s Law and the NHS webinar was the depth of experience shared by our speakers.

We were privileged to hear from Figen Murray OBE, public safety campaigner and counter terrorism expert, alongside Satia Rai, CEO of the International Professional Security Association, and Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association and CTBIE Board Member. Their combined perspectives brought valuable insight into the intent behind Martyn’s Law and how it can be applied in real-world settings.

The session was hosted by our Managing Director Paul Macarthur, with further contributions from Darren Barber, Security Manager at Kettering General Hospital, and Nhamo Pazvakavambwa, Associate Director of Safeguarding at Kettering General Hospital.

Together, their insights helped translate Martyn’s Law from legislation into something practical, relevant and actionable for NHS environments, resulting in a hugely valuable discussion.

A few moments from last week’s session with Kettering General Hospital.

Bringing together nearly 300 professionals from across the NHS and the security sector for a focused discussion on Martyn’s Law was a significant milestone.

It was particularly encouraging to see senior leadership from University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Trust in attendance, including Andrew Moore (Group Chair), Polly Grimmett (Director of Strategy) and Trevor Shipman (Non-Executive Director).

The level of engagement in the room reflected just how important this topic is becoming for healthcare organisations.

Following the session, it was also valuable for our guest speakers to spend time on site at Kettering General Hospital, meeting the SGC security team and NHS staff, and seeing first-hand how these environments operate.

Thank you again to everyone who joined us!
