Close protection services in London
Good close protection is rarely noticed. Our officers plan around the way you already live, whether that is a members’ club in St James’s, a gym session in Mayfair, a school run in Kensington or a weekend in the country, so the protection adapts to the day rather than the day to the protection.
That means officers chosen for the setting as well as the threat: people who can hold a conversation at a charity gala, keep pace on a morning run in Hyde Park, and work alongside household staff and family members of every age without drawing attention to themselves or to you.
Before an event, a visit or a trip, the venue and the route are looked at in advance: the entrances and exits, who else will be there, and how the team would leave quietly if they had to. Plans leave room for the unplanned, so a change of mind over dinner does not leave you exposed. Our risk assessment and event security teams work to the same plan.
The team stays in touch through discreet communications, so the coordination behind your day is invisible to the people around you. The aim is protection you can trust with the most private parts of your life, with the minimum of fuss and disruption.

Bob talks of his close protection officers blending into the lives of his clients as gym buddies, sober companions and dog walkers, women close protection officers as girlfriends and nannies for female clients and for celebrities tough guys in full view.
