Elite ProtectionConsultancy Speak to us

Close protection, residential security and executive transport

Protection that never becomes the story.

Licensed officers, vetted drivers and quiet planning for individuals, families and organisations whose privacy is not negotiable.

SIA licensed officers Operations desk open 24 hours UK based, deployed worldwide

Every officer holds a current SIA licence.

Licensing is the legal minimum. Our people are also vetted before deployment and trained on a schedule that does not stop at qualification.

Someone answers at three in the morning.

The operations desk is staffed around the clock. When plans change at short notice, the response is a person rather than a voicemail.

Based in the UK. Not limited to it.

Teams travel with clients across Europe and further when the diary requires it. The planning starts before the flight is booked.

Four things we do, and do properly.

Each engagement is built around the person, the property or the event in front of us. Nothing is sold off a menu.

Officers who plan the day before it starts, move with you through it and leave nothing for anyone else to notice. Single operatives for a low profile, or a full team when the situation calls for one.

More on close protection
  • Daily and residential protection
  • Advance planning for every venue and route
  • Female and male officers, matched to the household
  • Medical trained and licensed to the current standard

Static and mobile teams for private homes and estates. We work alongside your household staff rather than around them, so the house keeps running as it always has.

More on residential security
  • Gatehouse and perimeter cover
  • Overnight and live in arrangements
  • Contractor and visitor management
  • Cover while the family is away

Security trained drivers and a fleet of executive cars, people carriers and luxury vans for private travel, weddings, corporate events and productions. One vehicle or a convoy.

Transport and drivers
  • Chauffeur and security driver hire
  • Van and minibus hire with driver
  • Airport, venue and multi stop itineraries
  • Crew and equipment transport for productions

A clear picture of where you are exposed and what it would take to close the gap, written in plain English. Sometimes the answer is a team. Sometimes it is a change of routine and a better lock.

More on assessments
  • Personal and family risk reviews
  • Home and estate security surveys
  • Travel and event risk planning
  • Independent advice with no equipment to sell

Who calls us.

Most clients come by referral. Few of them have needed security before, and most would rather nobody knew they needed it now.

Families

Parents who want the school run, the holiday and the house to feel ordinary, with a team that reads the room and stays in the background.

Executives and founders

Leaders whose profile has grown faster than their security arrangements, at home, in the office and on the road.

Public figures

People in entertainment, sport and public life who need crowds managed, exits planned and private time kept private.

Event producers

Planners, production companies and family offices who need drivers, vehicles and security for one day that has to go right.

Vans and drivers for the days that matter.

Weddings, corporate events, film and television productions, tours and private travel. Executive vehicles and luxury vans, each with a professional driver, and security trained drivers when the guest list calls for it.

Book a single people carrier for an airport run or a fleet for three hundred guests. The same planning goes into both.

Every route is driven before the client is in the car

How an engagement runs.

The same five steps whether it is one driver for an evening or a residential team for a year.

  1. 1

    Conversation

    A call or a meeting, in confidence. You tell us what is worrying you and what you need to happen.

  2. 2

    Assessment

    We look at the people, places and routines involved and tell you where the real exposure is.

  3. 3

    Proposal

    A written plan with the team, the vehicles and the cost. No padding and nothing you did not ask for.

  4. 4

    Deployment

    The team is briefed, introduced and in place. You meet the people who will be with you before day one.

  5. 5

    Review

    We check in on a schedule, adjust as life changes and stand down cleanly when the need has passed.

Good protection is mostly preparation. If a client notices us working, something has already gone wrong with the plan.

Operating principle, Elite Protection Consultancy

Tell us what you need.

We will tell you honestly what it takes, and what it does not. The first conversation costs nothing and stays between us.
