FIRST CLASSEXECUTIVE SECURITY

Questions people ask us.

If yours isn’t here, ask it directly — a private enquiry costs nothing.

Is everything really confidential?

Yes. An NDA comes as standard with every engagement and binds us permanently. We do not discuss who we protect — which is also why you will not find a single client name anywhere on this site. The discretion we show them is the discretion you will get.

Are your officers licensed and insured?

Every officer holds a current SIA Close Protection licence and is vetted to BS 7858. Insurance cover is arranged and confirmed in writing before any officer is deployed; we do not make a blanket insurance claim on this site until our own cover is bound.

Can you provide armed protection?

Not in Great Britain — no private security firm lawfully can, and we'd treat any firm implying otherwise as a warning sign. Overseas is a different question: in jurisdictions where armed protection is lawful, it is delivered by locally licensed third parties, never by us — we introduce and coordinate, and our own officers are never armed.

How much does a bodyguard cost?

Typically £300–£1,000 per officer per day in the UK; most London work £400–£600. The honest figure for your situation takes one conversation.

Do I actually need a full-time bodyguard?

Usually not. Most clients need less than they expect. A short assessment tells you honestly, rather than selling you the largest option.

About our risk assessments

Do you provide female close protection officers?

Yes — same licence, same vetting, same standard. Often the right answer for family work.

How quickly can you start?

For driving and close protection, often at short notice — from 24 hours’ notice. Residential surveys are scheduled promptly, usually within the week.

Do you work internationally?

Yes — UK-wide as standard, international by arrangement, including full visiting details for Gulf-based clients and UK-side planning for travel elsewhere.

Will having security make my life feel like a lockdown?

Done properly, the opposite. The aim is that your life feels normal and you simply spend less of it worrying.

How do we begin?

A private enquiry and a conversation. No obligation, and no mailing list.
