The stewarding and guarding firm FGH Security has hailed its place in the Best Places to Work in the UK listing by The Sunday Times for a third consecutive year. FGH is the only personnel security company to feature on the list to date.
The business, with offices in Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester and London, counts international brands and the likes of Alstom, Co-op Live, JD Group, Liverpool Football Club, Mission Mars, New West End Company in central London, and Swatch amongst its customer base.
Peter Harrison, FGH’s Managing Director and founder, said: “Being recognised for the third year in a row is a testament to our team’s dedication and the positive culture we’ve cultivated. Our purpose has always been to keep people safe, and that starts with ensuring our own team feels valued and supported. I always wanted FGH Security to be recognised as a great company to work for, alongside other national and global companies, not just those in the security field.”
“It’s vital we keep shouting about what a rewarding and professional career working in security can be to continue attracting the very best talent. The work our frontline team members do in keeping over 100 million people safe every year is vital.”
“I also owe a big thank you to everyone in our support, supervisory and management teams, who are constantly going the extra mile to look after our team members, delivering an employment experience where they can perform at their absolute best.”
Kerri Boddy, frontline Security Officer who recently stepped into a hybrid office role, said: “What do I love about working at FGH? The teamwork. There’s no ‘I’ or ‘me’ here – it’s always ‘we’ and ‘us’. We’re a team.”

About the survey
The Sunday Times partners with employee-experience platform WorkL to deliver insights into what makes a Best Place to Work, and this nationwide workplace survey marks the UK’s top employers. To be included in the list companies need to complete surveys. The submissions are then reviewed after 26 questions from WorkL’s employee engagement survey, developed by behavioural scientists, data analysts, psychologists, business leaders, academics and other independent parties to most accurately monitor employee engagement, well-being and discretionary effort in the workplace.
