Executive Protection & Close Protection Services UK
Bespoke close protection and bodyguard services for corporate executives, high-net-worth individuals, dignitaries, and their families. Director-led. UK and international.
What Executive Protection Actually Looks Like
Most people's idea of close protection is a large, suited figure standing at a door — visible, imposing, and not much else. In reality, good executive protection is almost invisible. Done properly, your life becomes easier, not more complicated.
At Prospera Security Consultancy, we see close protection as an enabling service. Whether you are looking to hire a bodyguard in London, need personal protection for international travel, or require a discreet close protection officer for a high-profile engagement — our role is not simply to stand between you and a threat. It is to remove friction from your day, anticipate problems before they arise, and allow you to move through the world with confidence.
We have coordinated executive protection for a head of state and his family across an entire overseas Christmas holiday — managing flight logistics, advance work at venues, coordination with visiting friends and their security teams, and event security, all while ensuring the family had a genuinely enjoyable time. That is what this work actually involves in a permissive environment: invisible, precise, and built around the client's life rather than around the security operation.
The calculus changes in a hostile theatre. In the Middle East, we have operated in environments where route selection, advance work, and real-time intelligence are not administrative tasks — they are the difference between a clean move and a compromised one. In Eastern Europe, where the threat picture is less predictable and institutional support less reliable, the planning burden shifts further still. Timings are tighter, contingencies more numerous, and the relationship between the principal and the team becomes the foundation everything else is built on. The visible difference between those deployments and a London engagement is significant. The underlying discipline is identical.
For corporate clients in London and across the UK, that same principle applies. You carry on with your business. We handle everything else.

Close Protection for Clients Who Require Discretion
Prospera Security Consultancy's executive protection services are designed for CEOs and senior executives, high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, celebrities and public figures, professional athletes, dignitaries and their families, and organisations with senior personnel who face elevated risk.
We work domestically across the UK — including London, where demand for close protection and VIP protection services has grown significantly — and internationally, in both permissive and non-permissive environments. We provide everything from a single close protection officer to a full personal protection detail, complemented where required by security drivers and residential security teams.
Every deployment is planned individually. There is no off-the-shelf package. We begin with a thorough assessment of your circumstances, your movement patterns, and any specific threats or sensitivities before any personnel are selected or deployed.
SIA Licensed. Vetted. Experienced.
All Prospera Security Consultancy operatives hold the mandatory SIA Level 3 Close Protection licence — but that is a minimum standard rather than a guarantee of quality.
Our close protection officers (CPOs) are thoroughly vetted and drawn from former military and police backgrounds, with operational experience in hostile environments, advanced security driving, surveillance detection, and advanced medical response. They are selected specifically for each brief — not deployed from a roster.
They are vetted, discreet, and experienced in working alongside existing staff and household teams without disruption.
