We recently had the privilege of hosting a dedicated customer event focused on Martyn's Law at FAAC UK in Basingstoke, bringing together industry professionals to explore the impact of the proposed legislation and what it means in practice for organisations across the UK. The event featured a powerful and inspiring talk from Figen Murray OBE, alongside Nathan Emmerich of SW-One. Together, they delivered a thought-provoking session that combined personal insight, legislative clarity and practical guidance.
A Personal Campaign with National Impact
Figen Murray shared the deeply personal journey behind her campaign for Martyn’s Law, established in memory of her son Martyn Hett, who was killed in the Manchester Arena attack in 2017. Her message was clear and compelling: security compliance is not simply a regulatory requirement - it is a moral responsibility. Preparedness saves lives and Figen's story served as a powerful reminder that effective security planning is about protecting people, communities and the spaces where we live, work and gather.
Understanding the Practical Implications
Nathan Emmerich provided valuable insight into what Martyn’s Law means for organisations and the practical steps businesses can take as they move towards compliance. The session explored how legislation can be translated into actionable measures, helping organisations strengthen their preparedness while embedding a culture of responsibility.
A key theme throughout the event was that Martyn’s Law is about more than compliance, it is about culture. Ensuring preparedness becomes second nature across our industry will be essential as the legislation evolves.
