We are so pleased to announce that our latest Companies of the Month are Frontline Security Services and Platinum Asset Protection!

These two companies are owned by Wade Murtaza, who has been supporting Candlelighters for over a decade with cause-related marketing and by donating a percentage of both companies’ end-of-year annual profits.

In January 2022, Wade and these two companies made an incredible combined donation of £9360, as both businesses had arranged to give 2.5% of their annual turnover to Candlelighters.

Wade said, “Candlelighters are really close to my heart after tragically losing my brother to leukaemia. During this time there was no real understanding of the disease or much support for our family either during or after my brother’s passing. I believe it is vitally important to support people who are going through this terrible experience and this is what makes Candlelighters so special to me personally.”


Between 2015 and 2019, altogether the two companies have held charity fun nights, created challenges for a Director, completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks twice and cycled in appalling conditions! Furthermore, they donated over £600 of CCTV installation for Candlelighters.

Wade said, “It is very important to me to be able to donate to a local charity that I know will support the children of the local area, and know that our charity work and donations can make a real difference to people’s lives in the local community…we expect to be supporting your wonderful cause for many years to come.”

Thank you to Wade and everyone at Frontline Security Services and Platinum Asset Protection – we can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
