The E2E Job Creation 100 provides a platform for showcasing UK companies that excel in their respective sectors, driving strategic transformation and fostering consistent growth in their employee base.

Despite facing economic challenges in recent years, these companies have continued to scale and grow at an impressive rate. Here’s to seeing them achieve even more, both domestically and on the international stage.
Peter Harrison, FGH Security Founder and Managing Director, commented: “I am delighted that FGH Security is receiving this recognition from E2E. For a few years now, we have been growing at an average rate of one new employee per day, including on the weekends. We obviously need to thank our exceptional recruitment teams, plus our training and screening departments for keeping up with the demand. However, this growth is only possible when you continue to provide an exceptional service to your customers. So, we need to thank our operational teams and the hard-working team members keeping people safe on frontline security and crowd management duties. Our industry is classed as hypercompetitive, so the ongoing growth is only possible when you continually perform to a high standard. Keeping our existing customers happy, growing existing relationships and winning more contracts, are all essential.”
