About Martyn's Law Services
Protecting People. Empowering Organisations. Honouring Martyn’s Legacy.
Why We Exist
In May 2017, the Manchester Arena terrorist attack devastated families and communities across the country. Among the 22 innocent lives lost was Martyn Hett – a young man full of energy, creativity, and love. His mother, Figen Murray, was determined that no other family should have to suffer the way hers had. Her tireless campaigning led to what is now known as Martyn’s Law – officially, the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill – a landmark piece of legislation designed to protect the public by requiring venues and organisations to take simple, practical steps against the threat of terrorism.
"Martyn’s Law is more than a legal requirement. It is a commitment to valuing human life, to being proactive rather than reactive, and to recognising that every individual has the right to feel safe in public spaces."
At Martyn's Law Services, this belief sits at the very heart of everything we do
We exist because safety cannot be left to chance. We exist because we know that common sense, preparation, and vigilance can save lives. And we exist because we believe that compliance with the law should not be about fear – it should be about empowerment, community resilience, and the moral responsibility we all share to protect one another.
Our mission is simple but vital: to help organisations of all sizes understand, implement, and uphold the standards that Martyn’s Law demands – not just to meet legislation, but to honour its spirit.
By working together, we can make sure that Martyn’s legacy is not just remembered, but lived – every day, in every venue, in every event.
