('Westminster', the 'Group' or the
'Company')
Figen Murray Joins
Westminster Group International Advisory Board
Westminster Group Plc (AIM: WSG), a
leading supplier of managed services and technology-based security
solutions worldwide, is pleased to announce that Figen Murray OBE,
has joined the Westminster Group International Advisory
Board.
Figen is a powerful voice in
security, counterterrorism, and public safety and has been the
driving force behind Martyn's Law, a landmark initiative dedicated
to enhancing security measures and protecting public spaces from
the threat of terrorism.
Figen's advocacy stems from personal
tragedy - on 22nd May 2017, her son, Martyn Hett, was one of 22
people killed in the devastating Manchester Arena terrorist attack.
Determined to prevent such tragedies in the future, Figen has
worked tirelessly to improve security legislation and raise
awareness of the need for greater public safety
measures.
Her insight, determination, and deep
commitment to safeguarding lives align perfectly with Westminster
Group's mission to keep people safe.
Commenting on Figen Murray's
Appointment, Westminster's CEO, Peter Fowler, said:
"I am both honoured and delighted
Figen has agreed to be part of the Westminster Group International
Advisory Board.
"Like so many people I have been
impressed by Figen's determination and stamina in relentlessly
driving the campaign for Martyn's Law and without her outstanding
achievements this essential piece of legislation, now going through
its final stages, would never have come about.
"Martyn's Law will enhance public
safety by ensuring the public are better protected and businesses
are better prepared for terrorist activity, something that is
increasingly necessary, and it is sad that it has taken a tragedy
and Figen's remarkable energy to bring it about.
"I am confident that by working
together with Figen we will help ensure the full benefits of
Martyn's Law are delivered."
