The presentation of the 2025 UK Outstanding Security Performance Awards returned to the Royal Lancaster London on Thursday, 20th February 2025.

This special celebratory evening was open to everyone from across the industry to recognise and reward outstanding performance, while providing a platform to socialise and network with likeminded colleagues.

The evening was hosted by Ben Hanlin who is one of the UK’s leading comedy magicians. He has been seen on TV shows worldwide including The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Celebrity Juice and as a contestant on ITV’s Dancing on Ice.

He first appeared on our screens as the star of his own ITV2 show, ‘Tricked’, which saw him pulling magic pranks on celebrities and members of the public.

More recently, he has been making content all across social media, which has resulted in over 2 million followers and several partnerships with brands such as Amazon Prime and McDonald’s. He became an overnight sensation, debuting his incredible tricks as Magic Boy on YouTube, amassing over 900,000 views!
