SecuriGroup and SGL Named Finalists Across Five Security & Fire Excellence Awards
October 12, 2026

SecuriGroup and SecuriGroup Leisure (SGL), have been named as finalists across five categories at the 2026 Security & Fire Awards for Excellence. 

The nominations span the wider business, our teams working on the ground and individual leadership, with SecuriGroup shortlisted for three company awards and SGL recognised in two people and team categories. 


SecuriGroup has been shortlisted for: 
 

  • Champion of Champions Award
  • Industry Choice Award
  • Guarding Company of the Year over £30m



SGL has been shortlisted for:

  • Team of the Year – Topgolf Watford 
  • Manager of the Year – Connor Seal


The five nominations make this year's shortlist particularly special, recognising both the wider SecuriGroup business and the people delivering our services every day. 


Recognition across SecuriGroup


SecuriGroup's three nominations include Guarding Company of the Year over £30m and the Industry Choice Award, alongside a place on the shortlist for the new Champion of Champions Award.

Introduced for 2026, Champion of Champions recognises companies that have won a company award at the Security & Fire Awards for Excellence within the past decade and have continued to achieve since.



Peter Nokes, Operations Director at SecuriGroup, said:

“To be recognised across three categories is something we're incredibly proud of. What makes it particularly meaningful is that these nominations aren't about just one part of SecuriGroup. They reflect the work happening right across the business and, most importantly, the people behind it every day.

“Being shortlisted alongside so many respected names in our industry is a brilliant achievement for everyone involved, and we're looking forward to celebrating that together.”


Celebrating the people behind SGL


For SGL, this year's shortlist puts the focus firmly on its people.

The Topgolf Watford team has been named a finalist for Team of the Year, while Connor Seal is in the running for Manager of the Year.


Kevin Keene, Regional Manager at SGL, said:

“We're really proud to see both Connor and the Topgolf Watford team recognised this year. The work our teams do on the ground is what SGL is all about, and these nominations are a chance to celebrate the people behind that.

“It's fantastic to see a whole team recognised alongside an individual manager, and it's a great reflection of the people we have across SGL.”


The Security & Fire Awards for Excellence celebrate people, projects and processes from across the security and fire sectors, with entries reviewed and scored by an independent judging panel.

Winners will be announced on
30th November 2026 at JW Marriott Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London.

We're looking forward to celebrating alongside this year's finalists and, whatever the result on the night, we're proud to see SecuriGroup, SGL and our people represented across five categories.
