We are pleased to feature in the 2023 Glyndebourne Festival Booklet.
The Glyndebourne flagship summer programme features world-class opera, performed from May to August. The booklet hosts a selected arrangement of companies alongside a detailed account of each performance and looks to complement and support the upcoming season of performances. Shows this season include Don Giovanni, L’elisir d’amore, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Glyndebourne was founded in 1934 by John Christie and his wife Audrey Mildmay, through their passion for music and world-renowned opera.
Originally focused on the operatic works of Mozart, performances were held in the original theatre which held 300 people. Over the past 90 years, the organisation has seen much advancement including the construction of the 1200-seat Opera House in 1994. Glyndebourne can now reach 150,000 people every year with over 120 live performances, including online streaming to reach new audiences.
We have independently escorted guests to the venue with our travel service in past years, providing luxury transport to Glyndebourne clientele.
2023 has seen a continued drive in the Securitatem Group increasing its sustainability.
Since the beginning of the year, we have had 20 solar panels installed at our head office. By utilising the connected on-site batteries, we have been able to maximise our capacity to store the excess power from sunny days. During its first week of installation, Securitatem Group’s head office ran with 85% of self-generated energy.
Our latest installation of solar EV chargers now provides economic charging from the solar power stored in the batteries without immediately taking it from the national grid. Making significant steps forward in our effort to reduce our carbon footprint.
With every new initiative, we look to improve our environmental footprint forming ongoing connections between how our business functions and collective sustainability.
We can’t wait to share what we will be doing next!

This week saw the installation of solar panels at our head office. Making a significant step forward for our ongoing efforts to reduce our carbon footprint.
The switch to solar power over traditional electricity aims to switch all of the group’s admin, office-based, and managerial staff to off-grid. The panels are projected to outperform our in-house demands during the summer months. We plan to return this surplus renewable resource back to the grid to be utilised by other businesses and households.
In total, we had the capacity to install 20 panels across our roof, primed to absorb the sunshine seen in the beautiful Kent countryside. The work was carried out by the fantastic team at VoltPV and coordinated by our group business director Nanette Moulton. Nanette continues to spearhead our ESG strategies. Which includes the introduction of a cycle-to-work scheme, private healthcare, companywide benefit schemes and established us as a living wage employer.
We look not to the quick green fixes but to installing strategies with true longevity that will benefit the environment for generations to come.
