Bryan McCord MSyI RISC

Managing Director

LinkedIn

Bryan's career started in the Metropolitan Police Service where he focussed on providing specialised security services in the Special Branch, work that included intelligence officer, operational manager for a large anti-terrorist surveillance team and, for many years, specialising in Close Protection. This latter role entailed working at the very pinnacle of power with appointments as the Personal Protection Officer (PPO) to four serving and past British prime ministers (two whilst in office), senior Cabinet ministers, overseas heads of state, royalty and senior government ministers, ambassadors and military generals. As a government SME he toured Australia as a guest speaker at the request of their Attorney General's Office. Upon leaving the service he was appointed as the UK Head of Security to an influential overseas royal Head of State and latterly in the same role for an ultra high net worth international businessman, and their respective families. These protective services have successfully covered the globe working in 36 countries in 5 continents, at senior government and local levels including countries associated with low infrastructure and high risk, and war zones. As the company's Founder and Managing Director Bryan now emulates this level of quality of service by providing a comprehensive range of global specialist security services.
