Security

Protection that disappears into your day.

Protection built around your life as it is actually lived — school runs, board meetings, premieres, transfers and everything in between.

Present when required. Invisible the rest of the time.

Our close protection officers are selected for judgement first. They read a room, hold a position and move a principal through it without drawing attention to the fact that anyone is being protected.

Every detail is built from a written risk picture: who you are, where you go, who knows about it and what would change if something went wrong. From that we set the team size, the vehicle plan, the routes and the communication protocol — then we keep it under review.

Capability

What a detail includes.

Single officer or full team, resident or travelling, permanent or for a single evening.

Questions

Answers, before you ask.

Will the protection be obvious to other people?

No. Officers dress to the environment and work at a distance appropriate to the setting. In most social and commercial settings they are read as staff or as part of your party.

Can you cover a single evening rather than a permanent detail?

Yes. We deploy for a single movement, an evening, a weekend or a permanent standing detail on the same standards.

Do the officers drive as well?

They can. Where the risk picture calls for it we split the roles, with a security-trained driver holding the vehicle and the officer staying with you.
