5. Journey closedEvery movement is logged with a full audit history.

Airport meet and greet and protocol

Our trained protocol officers give clients a detailed country briefing before and after arrival. On arrival, our close protection officers (CPOs) meet clients at the agreed location and take them safely to their destination.

Lead and chase escorts

For road movements that need more protection, a lead and chase escort takes clients safely from one destination to another. Each escort team is made up of licensed armed personnel, CPOs and security drivers certified in defensive driving, evasive and manoeuvring techniques (EMT), executive protection and UK BTEC Level 3 Close Protection. Escort vehicles are fitted with real-time video trackers.

Close and executive protection

Our CPOs are trained in martial arts, executive protection in hostile environments, and UK BTEC Level 3 Close Protection. They are retrained regularly to keep their skills current, and they bring the discretion and diplomatic skills the role demands.
