Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your close protection officers licensed?
Yes. All our close protection officers hold a current SIA (Security Industry Authority) Close Protection licence and receive advanced professional training. The company is founded and led by professionals with backgrounds in the British military and police service.
Can I hire a bodyguard for a single day or event?
Yes. We provide close protection for single days, events and short trips as well as ongoing, long-term protective arrangements. Every assignment begins with a confidential consultation and risk assessment.
Will a protection officer draw attention to me?
No — discretion is the foundation of our work. Officers can operate in a low-profile capacity, blending into your routine, or provide a more visible presence where deterrence is the priority. The posture is agreed with you in advance.
Do you provide close protection outside the UK?
Yes. We operate across the UK and Europe and can deploy worldwide, providing continuous protection throughout international travel, including airport transfers and multi-country itineraries.
