UK Professional Guarding Limited (UKPGL) is proud to announce that our Security Officer, Muhammad Haroon, has been named a finalist for Security Officer of the Year at The Security & Fire Awards for Excellence 2026.
The recognition is a significant achievement for Muhammad and the entire UKPGL team, highlighting the professionalism, commitment and dedication demonstrated by our frontline officers every day.
The Security & Fire Awards for Excellence recognise outstanding people, projects, organisations and innovation across the security and fire sectors. The 2026 shortlist features leading professionals and organisations from across the industry, making Muhammad’s inclusion a particularly proud moment for UKPGL.
Recognising Frontline Excellence
Security officers are at the heart of the services we deliver. They are often the first point of contact for clients, visitors and members of the public, while carrying the responsibility of maintaining safe and secure environments.
Muhammad’s shortlisting recognises the qualities that are fundamental to effective frontline security — vigilance, professionalism, reliability and a strong commitment to protecting people and property.
For UKPGL, recognition at this level reinforces our belief that excellence in security starts with the people delivering our services every day.
We are particularly proud to see a member of our frontline team recognised alongside some of the industry's leading security professionals.
A Proud Moment for UKPGL
Being shortlisted for Security Officer of the Year is not only a personal achievement for Muhammad; it is also a reflection of the wider UKPGL team and the standards we strive to maintain across our operations.
Our officers represent UKPGL every day across a diverse range of environments and client sites. Their professionalism, judgement and commitment play a vital role in the quality of service we provide.
We would like to congratulate Muhammad on this well-deserved recognition and thank him for his continued commitment to UKPGL and to the clients and communities he supports.
Looking Ahead to the Awards
The Security & Fire Awards for Excellence 2026 will take place on 30 November 2026 at JW Marriott Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London, bringing together professionals and organisations from across the security and fire sectors to celebrate excellence across the industry.
We look forward to joining colleagues from across the industry for the awards ceremony and celebrating the achievements of everyone shortlisted.
Whatever the outcome on the evening, Muhammad’s place among the finalists is already a fantastic achievement and a moment that the whole UKPGL team can be proud of.
Congratulations, Muhammad Haroon — we are proud to see your hard work and professionalism recognised on an industry stage.
