Stay Safe at All Times with our VIP Security

VIP security has evolved significantly over the centuries, but it’s been around for a long time.

Even in ancient times, this form of security existed. Rulers and the nobility had personal guards for close protection, along with fortified castles to protect them. Later in the 20th century, political extremism and terrorism made more governments introduce this type of protection.

Nowadays, advanced technologies (like surveillance systems) have become integral to VIP protection. It’s also popular to use close protection teams (bodyguards) who have received specialised training and equipment. Our SIA approved guards work with clients across the UK who need superior protection. Their work includes accompanying clients on international trips so they never go without first-class security.

Who benefits most from VIP security services?

VIP security and close protection services are tailored to mitigate risks and ensure the safety and well-being of individuals who face heightened security threats due to their public profile, position, or circumstances. You might be at risk due to your status, wealth, occupation, or visibility to the public.

Of course, this most famously applies to celebrities like actors to musicians. Because of their prominence, they can attract a lot of attention, both good and bad. In some cases, this leads to issues like stalking or threats to their family.

However, politicians and government officials also require this type of protection to safeguard them against potential threats, political adversaries, or terrorism. Visiting dignitaries, foreign officials, and diplomats also often require VIP security to ensure their safety during international visits.

Our clients also include business executives throughout the UK. That includes CEOs, entrepreneurs, and business leaders who need close protection due to their wealth, corporate status, or involvement in controversial industries.

High-net-worth individuals also often use VIP security, since they often attract attention from criminals interested in ransom, theft or extortion.

This type of security is ideal for anyone who’s been the victim of threats. We regularly work with those who have received specific threats, whether from criminal organisations, disgruntled individuals, or extremist groups. In such cases, our close protection services can help to mitigate the risks.

Get protection at high-profile events.

Live events are more popular than ever, but they do come with many security risks. Organisers of major events such as conferences, conventions, or international summits may hire VIP security to ensure the safety of attendees and speakers.

Why use our close protection services?

Close protection, otherwise known as ‘personal security’ or executive protection, will ensure your safety if you’re at increased risk of harm. It’s use in many different scenarios, including when there has been threats of physical harm.

Individuals such as celebrities, politicians, and high-profile executives can be targets for physical attacks, harassment, or kidnapping. Close protection agents are trained to identify, prevent, and respond to these threats.

Are you often in the public eye?

You may require protection to manage the risks associated with high visibility. This includes managing crowds, preventing obsessive fans from getting too close, and ensuring you’re safe when on the move.

Close protection is ideal for high-net-worth individuals or those with valuable intellectual property. As you'll be aware, in such situations, you’re at high risk of being targeted for theft or ransom. Close protection ensures not only your physical security, but protects your possessions and private information.

This type of service is also helpful in the event of a controversy. Politicians or activists may face threats from those opposed to their views or actions. Close protection helps manage these risks and allows them to carry out their duties safely.

Close protection is an important part of corporate security.

We often support business executives travelling to or operating in unstable regions. Here you might face potential threats like political unrest, terrorism, or crime. With support from Monarch Security Services, you can focus on your work without undue concern for your personal safety.

Our close protection team also regularly works at awards ceremonies, conferences, or public appearances. Close protection ensures the safety of attendees and participants, managing access control, and monitoring for potential threats.

Sometimes, the families of high-risk individuals are also targeted. Close protection extends to family members to ensure their safety in both everyday and high-risk situations.

We can help prevent incidents that could harm your reputation. In many cases, a safe environment reduces the risk of negative publicity resulting from security breaches or personal attacks.

We’re committed to giving you complete peace of mind.

Knowing that a professional security team is in place can put your mind at rest, allowing you to focus on what you enjoy in life without constant concern for their safety.

Our close protection can involve a range of services. Our goal is to create a secure environment where the individual can operate freely without the threat of harm.
