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."
