About Elite Protection Consultancy
Built by people who have done the job.
We are a UK close protection and executive transport company run by operators, not salespeople. The people who plan your security have spent years delivering it.
Why the company exists.
Elite Protection Consultancy was started by close protection officers who kept seeing the same two problems. Large firms sent whoever was free that week. Small ones could not cover the whole picture, so a client ended up with one company for the officers, another for the drivers and nobody in charge of how it all fitted together.
We set up to be the single point of contact. One team that knows the family, plans the travel, supplies the vehicles and answers the phone at night. The company is deliberately small enough that the founders still know every officer by name and still sit in on the first meeting with every client.
Transport became part of the business because clients kept asking for it. A security trained driver in a clean, well run vehicle is often the most useful protection a person can have, and event transport turned out to need exactly the same discipline as everything else we do.
What we hold ourselves to.
Four principles decide how we hire, how we plan and when we say no.
Discretion
We do not name clients, publish photographs of jobs or talk about our work in public. If you have heard of us, it was from someone who trusted you enough to mention it.
Preparation
The venue is visited, the route is driven and the hotel is checked before the client arrives. Most of what we do happens before the day and is never seen.
Restraint
The measure of an officer is how rarely they need to act. We hire calm people who de-escalate by habit and understand that the client’s dignity matters as much as their safety.
Honesty
If you need less than you think, we will say so. If you need more, we will explain why. We would rather lose a booking than sell something that does not fit.
The people you will meet.
Our officers and drivers come from the military, the police and long careers in private security. What they have in common is temperament. They are polite, patient and unremarkable to look at, which is exactly the point.
- Current SIA close protection licence for every officer
- Identity, background and employment checks before deployment
- First aid and trauma care qualifications kept in date
- Advanced driving qualifications for all security drivers
- Ongoing training in surveillance awareness and conflict management
- Officers introduced to the client before the first day
United Kingdom
Our home ground. Officers, drivers and vehicles are available across the country, with the shortest notice in London and the south of England.
Europe
Teams travel with clients for holidays, business and events. Our own team leader stays in charge, supported by local partners we have worked with before.
Further afield
For the Middle East, the Americas and beyond, we plan the journey, travel with the client and arrange vetted local support where the assessment calls for it.
Meet us before you decide.
The first conversation is with one of the founders, in person or by phone, and costs nothing.
