Event Details

Join us for an inspiring Fireside Chat with Peter Harrison, founder and Managing Director of award-winning firm FGH Security and proud LUMS MBA alumnus.

Peter founded FGH with a clear mission: safety before profit. Under his leadership, the company has grown into one of the UK’s most respected providers of security and crowd management services — built on values-driven leadership, innovation, and investment in people. FGH is recognised for its industry-defining guarantees: friendly customer service, world-class training, and a scientific approach to continuous improvement.

Beyond business, Peter is a Royal Marines Commando Reservist, board member, and active charity supporter, with academic expertise in both Crowd Safety Management and Counter-Terrorism Risk Management Planning. He has also appeared on Dragon’s Den, securing offers from all five Dragons — including the fastest-ever offer in the show’s history — but remains committed to growing FGH on his own terms.

Expect a candid, energising discussion on building a business with purpose, leading through service, and the power of values-led decision-making in high-pressure industries.

Please note this event is in person only. Registration is free but required
