UK and International team deployments
Elite Close Protection Services UK
In an increasingly unpredictable global environment, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), corporate leaders, public figures, and family offices require protective solutions that go beyond traditional security measures.
We deliver bespoke, threat-led close protection services across the UK and internationally. Combining intelligence-led risk analysis, tactical advance planning, and discreet operational deployment, our SIA-licensed Close Protection Officers (CPOs) ensure your personal safety, assets, and reputation remain uncompromised without restricting your daily movement or business activities.
Protection, Handled Quietly
Tailored Executive & Personal Protection
Executive Protection: High-level protective escorts for CEOs, board directors, and corporate delegations operating in high-stakes environments, commercial negotiations, or sensitive site visits.
Discreet / Low-Profile Protection: Unobtrusive personal protection designed to blend seamlessly into luxury hospitality, retail, private travel, and corporate settings—ideal for UHNWIs and families seeking low visibility.
High-Profile Protection: Visible physical deterrence and barrier control for high-profile principals, public figures, or executives facing active, public-facing threat environments.
Our Close Protection Services
Specialist Protective & Intelligence Operations
Each service can stand alone or combine into a single, coordinated protection plan.
Executive Protection
Dedicated protection for directors, executives and business leaders. We integrate with your schedule and support your day without disruption, from the office to boardrooms and beyond.
High-Profile & VIP Protection
Discreet, considered cover for high-profile individuals and their families. We manage attention, access and privacy carefully so you can move confidently in the public eye.
Secure Travel & Movements
Safe, well-planned journeys at home and abroad. We handle route planning, secure transport and airport movements so every transition is smooth and unremarkable.
Intelligence, Risk & Security Consultancy
Effective protection relies on preventative intelligence rather than reactive force. Our risk consultancy services evaluate potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Event & Public Appearance Protection
Assured cover for premieres, launches, appearances and private functions. We coordinate with organisers and venues so you remain composed and protected throughout.
Residential Security Teams (RST)
Protecting your private residence, family estate, or temporary holiday home requires continuous, multi-layered defence. Our Residential Security Teams (RST) provide round-the-clock protection to ensure your sanctuary remains completely secure.
- 24/7 Perimeter & Access Control: Static guarding, perimeter patrols, and strict visitor verification to prevent unauthorized access or intrusion.
- Family & Lifestyle Escort: Secure escorts for family members during daily routines, including school runs, personal travel, and social engagements.
- Incident Response & Safe Room Management: Immediate physical response protocols, emergency medical management, and integrated safe-room procedures.
Travel Risk Assessments & Advance Surveys
Advance Reconnaissance: On-site surveys of destination hotels, meeting venues, hospitals, and primary/secondary transit routes.
Country & City Risk Briefings: Real-time intelligence briefings detailing local crime dynamics, political unrest, transport safety, and medical capabilities.
Secure Transit Logistics: SIA-licensed close protection drivers skilled in defensive driving, counter-surveillance, and emergency evasive maneuvers.
Physical & Residential Security Audits
A Physical and Residential Security Audit delivers an exhaustive technical review of your estate, corporate headquarters, or private property to identify structural and operational weaknesses.
- Perimeter & Technical Vulnerability Reviews: In-depth evaluation of physical barriers, CCTV coverage, lighting, intruder detection systems, and electronic access controls.
- Surveillance Detection & Penetration Testing: Identifying blind spots, testing staff vigilance, and evaluating physical entry vulnerabilities.
- Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM): Advanced electronic sweeps (“bug sweeping”) to detect clandestine listening devices, hidden cameras, or unauthorized transmitters in boardrooms and private residences.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between close protection and standard bodyguards?
Close protection encompasses a complete intelligence-led security framework—including advance route surveys, threat assessments, counter-surveillance, and emergency medical care—rather than relying solely on static physical presence.
How quickly can a Residential Security Team (RST) be deployed?
We can deploy emergency Residential Security Teams across London, the Thames Valley, and nationwide within 12 to 24 hours following an initial threat assessment.
Do you offer close protection for travel outside the UK?
Yes. We provide end-to-end international travel risk management, including advance reconnaissance, local threat monitoring, and protective escorts across international jurisdictions.
