Entry process opens for Fire and Security Matters Awards 2026

Organised by Western Business Media Ltd, the Fire and Security Matters Awards enjoyed a record number of entries in 2025 for their fourth iteration, while upwards of 800 guests attended the ‘sold out’ awards ceremony itself.

Our sponsors also include Apollo Fire Detectors, the Association of Security Consultants, EMS, Hyfire, Suprema, The Fire Safety Event and The Security Event.

The winners of the Fire and Security Matters Awards 2026 will be revealed at a gala black-tie dinner and ceremony to be held at the CBS Arena in Coventry on 2 July.

It only takes a few minutes of your time to enter the Fire and Security Matters Awards. This is the perfect way in which to gain much-deserved recognition for either yourself, your team, a colleague, your organisation, a product/service or a specific project.
