Close protection & personal security
Discreet, SIA-licensed close protection officers for executives, artists, VIPs and private clients, in London and wherever you travel in the UK.
Protection that stays out of the photo
Close protection is mostly planning: routes, venues, timings, arrivals and the 'what ifs'. We assess the risks around you or your guest, then provide officers who blend in with your day and step forward only when they need to.
Assignments range from a single evening at a premiere to residential security and travel support over several weeks.
