Let Us Know What You Need

    Our Close Protection Services

    Executive Protection and Transport

    Whether you need close protection, airport pickup and secure transportation, or escorting for top executives, VIPs, and important visitors, our specialist bodyguards are available round the clock. We welcome one-off close protection assignments as well as permanent or longer-term arrangements. When you need armed security, we can provide fully licenced specialists at short notice.

    Secure Escorting

    Our bodyguards help maintain order amid potential chaos. Red carpet events and public appearances typically attract large crowds of fans, media, and onlookers. Bodyguards are trained to manage crowds effectively, create barriers, and control the flow of people to prevent any potential harm or intimidation. By escorting VIP clients, they are a visible deterrent and safety screen

    Risk and Threat Assessment

    Preparing the ground for a public appearance or journey is crucial. By applying risk and threat assessment protocols, we thoroughly prepare for a VIP public appearance. Security teams can proactively identify and mitigate potential risks. From venue sweeps in advance to itinerary management and route planning, we develop a management plan that outlines procedures for handling security incidents in real-time, establishes communication channels with all involved parties, and outlines how to respond during or in the aftermath of an incident.

    24-hour bodyguarding

    In addition to one-off public appearances, when our clients need round-the-clock protection for the duration of their stay, we can supply revolving bodyguard teams and dedicated secure transport. From guards stationed at hotel rooms to a static presence at private residences, our close protection team can design a package to suit any specific circumstances.
