Close Protection Service

Close Protection

Where the brief demands more than a discreet chauffeur. SIA-licensed close-protection officers paired with NDA-signed AAT drivers trained in protective driving, convoy formation and venue arrival protocol.

SIA-Licensed CP

Unarmed, UK-norm

Protective Driver

Advanced trained

Route Recce

Pre-walked

Convoy Capable

2 or 3 vehicles

Service Overview

CP officer leads. Chauffeur drives.

Close-protection-led transport pairs an SIA-licensed CP officer alongside our chauffeur. The chauffeur drives; the CP officer leads on threat assessment, arrival sequencing and venue security.

Typical engagements: HNW individuals visiting London, principals at sensitive negotiations, public figures at predictable venues, family in opportunistic-risk environments. We do not offer armed protection: that lies outside UK norms.

  • SIA-licensed CP officers paired with our chauffeur
  • Route reconnaissance and venue liaison on every booking
  • Two- and three-vehicle convoy capability
  • Armoured vehicle on request (B6-rated, 7 working days lead time)

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide armed close protection?
No. Armed protection is exceptionally rare in the UK and outside our remit. All CP officers we deploy are unarmed, SIA-licensed and operate within UK legal norms.
Can I hire just the chauffeur without a CP officer?
Yes, that is our VIP chauffeur tier. Protective driving and discreet routing without a dedicated CP officer.
What is the typical lead time for a CP-coordinated booking?
72 hours for single-day engagement; one week for multi-day visits with route reconnaissance. Emergency same-day deployment subject to availability.
Can you supply armoured vehicles?
On request. UK-spec B6-rated vehicles available within 7 working days. Cost meaningfully exceeds standard luxury hire. We quote on the specific brief.
Will the same CP team accompany the visit throughout?
For multi-day briefs, yes. Continuity is operationally important. The lead officer stays with the principal across the engagement.
How do you coordinate with my existing security detail?
Written brief; the AAT dispatcher relays between your team and our CP officer-in-charge.
Do you cover travel outside the UK?
CP services are UK-only. International CP requirements are referred to partner specialists.
Are CP officers ex-military or ex-police?
Mix of both, plus career CP specialists. All vetted via the SIA framework.
