Recruiting

Build a career in professional close protection

We deploy discreet, well-briefed operatives for private clients, family offices, and corporate programmes.

If you hold a current SIA Close Protection licence and work to a high professional standard, we want to hear from you. We recruit male and female officers, and particularly value foreign language skills for international principals and visiting executives.

Assignments range from short-notice London cover to multi-day travel and residential programmes. Operatives work unarmed in accordance with UK law, with planning and judgement at the centre of every deployment.
