UKPGL Proud to Celebrate Managing Director Ali Awan’s Recognition

UK Professional Guarding Limited (UKPGL) is delighted to celebrate the recognition of our Managing Director, Ali Awan, who has been honoured with the Security Industry Leadership & Business Excellence Award of the Year 2026 at the 16th Pakistan Achievement Awards International.

The recognition is a proud moment for Ali and for everyone across UKPGL. It acknowledges his leadership and contribution to the security industry, as well as the journey of building UKPGL into a people-focused, technology-enabled business providing security, concierge and facilities support services.

Since establishing UKPGL in 2015, Ali has remained focused on developing a business built around professionalism, innovation and service excellence. Over the years, that vision has helped shape the company we are today, while continuing to adapt to the changing needs of our clients and the wider industry.

For Ali, however, the achievement is not simply an individual one. It represents the collective efforts of the people behind UKPGL who work every day to deliver for our clients, support our operations and help the business continue moving forward.

Reflecting on the recognition, Ali said:

“To be recognised for my contribution to the security industry is a real honour. However, I see this as recognition of the wider UKPGL team as much as myself. Nothing we have achieved would be possible without the people who work tirelessly every day to support our clients and move the business forward.”

The award follows Ali’s inclusion in the British Pakistanis Power 100, recognising British Pakistanis excelling in their respective fields. Together, these recognitions represent significant milestones in his career and reflect the work and commitment that has gone into building UKPGL over the past decade.

With more than 16 years of experience in the security industry, Ali continues to lead UKPGL with a clear focus on its people, clients and future. His approach has always been centred on combining strong operational standards with technology, innovation and a genuine commitment to delivering a reliable service.

For everyone at UKPGL, this is a moment to celebrate not only Ali’s achievement, but also the collective journey of the entire team.

We would like to congratulate Ali Awan on this well-deserved recognition and thank everyone across UKPGL whose dedication, professionalism and hard work continue to make our progress possible.

A proud moment for Ali. A proud moment for UKPGL. And a recognition of what we can achieve together.
