For over two centuries, Gurkha soldiers have served in the British Army — recruited from Nepal through one of the most selective processes in the world, where fewer than 200 candidates are chosen from over 28,000 applicants annually. They defended Hong Kong as part of the British Brigade from 1948 to 1997, and Gurkha forces have served across the Asia Pacific from Malaya to Brunei to East Timor.
When Tej Prakash Pun established The Gurkhas Group, he carried that legacy forward as a genuine operating principle. The majority of G3S’s direct staff are ex-Gurkhas and Nepalese Hong Kong identity card holders — people whose baseline is military selection and British Army training, not a weekend security course.
This is a specific, verifiable advantage — in personnel quality, in operational discipline, and in the kind of calm authority that makes security effective without being confrontational.
