Ceasefires with Bedouin sheiks, talks with Taliban commanders and understandings with tribal chiefs cannot be brokered from behind desks in London or Washington. They can however be orchestrated by people on the ground with situational knowledge and the ability find common ground with incumbent actors.
To this end, I’ve amassed a group of subject matter experts who work with me to ensure that my client’s requirements are identified and resolved. The agreed solutions, designed specifically to meet the challenge at hand, gleaned from the vast amount of experience and technical knowledge held amongst the associate team.
Kidnap and Ransom
Being taken hostage is a threat that is growing exponentially in many parts of the world.

I offer a number of trainings that will ensure that your people have the capacity to deal with difficult situations as they arise.

Security Provision Audit
When was the last time your security provider was audited? Are they delivering the level of service that you require? Are they contractually compliant? An in depth audit will provide you with these and many other answers, and could even save you money.
Threat Research & Analysis
Emergent threats have to be continually evaluated and assessed with the outcomes matched against the probability of occurrence. The result is a mitigation strategy that is fit for purpose and will facilitate resilience within your organisation and enable you to carry on even under the most testing of situations.
Business Continuity
Business continuity is an essential part of any operational plan. It enables you to identify what your organisation needs to do if it is affected by unforeseen circumstances, and in doing so gives you the ability to deliver uninterrupted services to your customers. I can give you the capacity to look at your organisation through an optic of disruption, allowing courses of action to be identified, and in doing so allowing you a confidence to conduct operations even in the most austere of conditions.

Such information can only be gleaned by operatives on the ground, practiced in gaining intelligence and presenting in a way that can be best utilised by your decision making process.

Crisis management allows you to take charge of negative incidents by enacting predetermined procedures that allow the incident to be ring fenced, limiting the effect of the occurrence on the organisation as a whole.
