Security that never draws attention to itself.
Close protection, security drivers and residential security for principals who value discretion as highly as safety. UK-wide. International by arrangement.
First Class Executive Security is for private families, principals visiting Britain, and the people who organise their days.
Why First Class
Thirty years, senior-led.
You deal with experience directly — not a call centre, and never a junior at a senior's rate.
Independent on systems.
We specify and oversee; we don't sell hardware. Our only interest is what actually protects you.
Proportionate by principle.
We will tell you when you need less. It is the main reason clients come back.
Discretion in both directions.
No client names, no stories, and your non-disclosure agreement signed as a matter of course.
What we do
Close Protection & Security Drivers
SIA-licensed close protection officers and security-trained drivers. For one evening, one season, or for as long as you need us.
Protection & driversVisiting the UK
Full-detail protection for principals and families visiting Britain. One point of contact from touchdown to departure.
Visiting detailsResidential Security & Protective Surveys
A senior operative assesses your home and home office the way an intruder would — then hands you one prioritised plan covering alarms, monitoring, procedures and safe-room options.
Includes our protective survey — an expert's assessment of your home, not a checkbox product.
Residential securityWho we protect
Founders in the months after an exit, when the press finds them before they’ve found their feet. Families returning to the UK for the summer, the schools, or the business. Touring artists, broadcasters and online creators whose audiences know their faces — and sometimes their addresses. Principals visiting from the Gulf, Europe and the Americas.
We won’t tell you who. That is rather the point. The same silence will protect you.
Before you hire anyone
What a personal bodyguard costs
£300–£1,000 a day, most London work £400–£600, and what moves a quote inside that range.
Read the guideDo bodyguards need a licence?
Yes, and the licence belongs to the person, not the firm. What it covers and how to check it.
Read the guideCan bodyguards carry guns in the UK?
No — and a firm that hints otherwise has answered a more important question.
Read the guideWhat powers does a bodyguard have?
None beyond anyone else's. What officers rely on instead, and why overstepping costs the principal.
