BGH Close Protection – Discreet, Professional Personal Security You Can Trust

At BGH Close Protection, we provide discreet, professional close protection services tailored to the unique needs of every client. Our approach is rooted in prevention rather than reaction, ensuring safety without disruption and allowing clients to maintain their normal lifestyle with confidence and reassurance.

We support executives, high-net-worth individuals, public figures, and families with children, delivering low-profile security that prioritises comfort, dignity, and discretion. Our operatives integrate seamlessly into a client’s environment, providing protection that is effective yet unobtrusive.

Fully Licensed, Trained, and Vetted Operatives

All BGH Close Protection operatives are SIA trained and fully SIA licensed, which is a legal requirement for anyone operating in close protection roles in the UK. In addition, our team holds recognised first aid qualifications, ensuring preparedness for medical as well as security-related incidents.

We also maintain:

• Clean DBS checks

• Clean driving licences

• Backgrounds in security and professional driving

This rigorous standard ensures that every operative we deploy meets the highest levels of professionalism, competence, and reliability.

A Proactive Approach to Close Protection

Effective close protection is as much about foresight as it is about force. At BGH Close Protection, success is defined not by physical intervention, but by what is prevented from ever happening.

Our methodology is built around:

• Meticulous planning to identify potential risks before they arise

• Situational awareness to anticipate and avoid threats

• Proactive measures that minimise the need for reactive force

Physical intervention is considered a last resort and only used when absolutely necessary. This approach ensures safety while preserving a calm, controlled environment for our clients.

Tailored Protection for Every Lifestyle

No two clients are the same, which is why we tailor our protection services by fully understanding each individual’s lifestyle, routines, and risk profile.

For high-profile individuals and executives in public-facing roles, our services combine:

• Discreet security presence

• Advance route and site assessments

• Careful planning of movements

• Real-time risk monitoring

This ensures clients can move confidently in public spaces while remaining out of the spotlight.

Professionalism, Ethics, and Conduct

Professionalism underpins everything we do. Our operatives maintain the highest standards of conduct, appearance, and communication at all times.

We operate under a strict professional code that ensures:

• Safety, dignity, and trust for every client

• Respectful interaction with the public

• Discretion to avoid unnecessary attention

Our operatives understand that they represent the client at all times and act accordingly.

Discretion, Confidentiality, and Trust

In close personal protection, discretion and confidentiality are paramount. We operate on a strict need-to-know basis, supported by confidentiality agreements and clear protocols around sensitive information.

Client safety extends beyond physical protection. It also includes safeguarding:

• Privacy

• Reputation

• Personal and professional information

Nothing is disclosed without explicit client consent.

How to Choose the Right Close Protection Company

When selecting a close protection provider, the first and most important step is to confirm that operatives are SIA trained and licensed, as this is a legal requirement.

The SIA Register of Licence Holders allows you to verify individuals by name or licence number via the official government register.

It is equally important to choose a company that prioritises:

• Proactive risk management

• Discretion and low-profile presence

• Client comfort and reassurance

Protection should never rely on intimidation or unnecessary visibility.

Addressing Modern Threats Beyond Physical Harm

In today’s world, threats are no longer limited to physical confrontation. Online bullying, harassment, doxxing, and targeted abuse can escalate rapidly into real-world safety risks if left unaddressed.

The close protection industry is evolving, and at BGH Close Protection we recognise the importance of digital awareness and early threat detection. What begins online can quickly become physical, which is why modern protection must consider both digital and real-world environments.
