Royal Assent for Martyn’s Law was granted in April 2025, and with full compliance expected by 2027, venues across the UK are already under pressure to begin security upgrades. In response to this critical moment for the security industry, Benchmark Magazine is partnering with System Q to host a live webinar that explores what Martyn’s Law means in practical terms—and how security professionals can prepare themselves and their clients for what’s to come.
The webinar will take place later this month, on July 29th at 10:30 am, and registration is now open. All attendees will receive a CPD certificate of participation.
This online session will be of particular interest to installers, system integrators, consultants, and anyone involved in compliance or facilities management for venues of 200+ capacity. Importantly, there will be dedicated time for a Q&A, allowing attendees to put their questions directly to experts, so it’s worth coming prepared.
A Wake-Up Call for the Security Industry
With the legislation now passed, over 250,000 UK venues will be legally required to implement counter-terrorism security measures by 2027. But the reality is that the rollout begins now. From stadiums and concert halls to universities and shopping centres, many operators are already allocating budget for upgrades. As a result, the demand for qualified security professionals is expected to surge in 2026.
The upcoming Benchmark and System Q webinar will act as a strategic briefing for installers looking to understand where the business opportunities lie—and how to avoid the common traps associated with Martyn’s Law compliance, including confusion over the two-tier classification of duties.
Insight into Real Contracts and What They Reveal
The webinar will also present real-world case studies that illustrate the scale of work currently underway, including:
- A £2.3 million emergency security upgrade at a major shopping centre, signed in October 2025
- A £1.8 million phased installation across a university campus (2025–2026)
- A £950,000 implementation for an entertainment venue facing an imminent compliance deadline
These examples not only show the urgency with which venues are acting but also highlight the commercial potential for installers who are positioned to meet these needs.
Featuring TVT Technology in Action
System Q will spotlight TVT’s technology suite—solutions already trusted by the Polish National Bank, New York City Subway, and Bulgarian Border Security. Attendees will gain technical insight into how these systems meet the stringent requirements of Martyn’s Law, including detection, deterrence, and documentation capabilities.
Who Should Attend?
The session is tailored for security installers and integrators, electrical contractors, compliance officers, and anyone advising venues on risk or system upgrades. It will also provide valuable context for public sector professionals, facilities managers, and corporate security teams who need to understand their evolving legal obligations.
Why It Matters Now
The transition to full compliance is already underway. Early adopters are securing large-scale contracts, while those who delay may find themselves left behind—or struggling to meet the demands of overextended clients in 2026 and 2027. This webinar provides an opportunity to understand not just the law, but the business implications for the entire security ecosystem.
Martyn’s Law is more than a regulatory requirement; it is a national response to protect lives. Security professionals have a unique opportunity to contribute to public safety in a meaningful and commercially viable way.
