Who May Need to Hire a Close Protection Team?

Close protection is essential for individuals or groups who may be exposed to elevated security threats due to their public profile, professional position, or personal circumstances. Our clients include high-net-worth individuals, CEOs, celebrities, diplomats, and international visitors requiring enhanced personal security while in unfamiliar or high-risk environments.

Corporations may also hire close protection teams for executives travelling abroad, attending high-stakes meetings, or facing potential threats. Legal professionals often request our services to support litigation proceedings or high-risk clients. Event organisers and VIP hosts may also rely on our operatives to manage security discreetly and effectively.

Where Close Protection Services Are Essential

When Should You Hire Close Protection Officers?

You should hire a close protection officer when personal safety, public presence, or professional duties place you at risk. If you are travelling to a region with heightened security concerns, attending a sensitive meeting, or facing direct threats, close protection provides peace of mind and proactive risk management.

Our services are also ideal during periods of increased visibility, legal disputes, or sensitive transitions. The presence of a skilled and discreet close protection operative ensures every aspect of your safety is planned, managed, and maintained without compromise.

At Dion International, we take pride in delivering comprehensive close protection services with integrity and professionalism. Contact us today to arrange a consultation and safeguard your personal security with confidence.

Close protection—commonly known as bodyguarding—involves providing personal security to individuals at risk of physical harm, harassment, or targeted threats. Operatives are trained to assess danger, manage environments, and respond rapidly to emerging threats.

It is used for high-net-worth individuals, public figures, executives, and those facing specific risks due to their role, status, or personal circumstances. Close protection may involve one-to-one coverage or a full protective team, often integrated with journey management and secure logistics.

All services are delivered discreetly and professionally, fully compliant with UK licensing laws under the SIA (Security Industry Authority).

We have a proven track record of delivering results for individuals, businesses, and high-profile clients across the UK. Our reputation is built on reliability, transparency, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations.
