What we do

  • Executive Protection

    Close protection for VIPs and high-profile individuals at home, at events and on the move. We assess the risks first, then plan routes, venues and transport around them.

  • Investigations

    Discreet investigations that get you the facts before you make a decision. What we find is reported to you and no one else.

  • Travel Risk Management

    We check the risks before you leave, plan the trip around them and support you while you're away, for business and private travel alike.

  • Event Security

    Protection at events of every size, whether you're attending as a guest or hosting the event yourself.

  • Secure Chauffeur

    Security-trained drivers in premium vehicles, for airport transfers, meetings and appointments where you need to arrive safely and on time.

  • Estate Protection

    On-site protection for residences and estates, with access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection and a fast response to emergencies.

  • Asset Protection

    Protection for valuables and other high-value assets, planned around what needs guarding and where it is kept.

  • Bug Sweeping (TSCM)

    Technical surveillance countermeasures: professional sweeps that find hidden listening devices, for individuals, companies and government departments.
