Secure a signature level of protection with highly disciplined, professional and expertly trained close protection officers from Churchill Support Services.
With the UK’s rising crime rates making regular and uncomfortable headlines, as well as the ever-present threat of international terrorism and global threats, there’s never been a better time to invest in close protection. At Churchill, we understand that, and we’re proud to uphold superb standards and professionalism which have seen us lead the way in bodyguarding and VIP protection.
From Premier League footballers and sports personalities, to stars of stage and screen, Churchill Support Services have a robust complement of close protection officers on hand to protect high net-worth individuals from the unique threats they face. Plus, with round-the-clock support from our Communications Centre, you know you’re in safe hands with Churchill.
The bread and butter of any comprehensive close protection services, Churchill can offer expert levels of coverage. With all of our officers screened and vetted for a minimum of 5 years, alongside industry-leading training protocols, you’re in the best possible hands with our close protection officers.
Trained to deal with a wide range of risks and incidents, from threats of violence and harassment to theft and assault, our officers can ensure your consummate protection throughout the day and night. All of this, coupled with Churchill’s stellar reputation for quality, means you can rest easy and go about your day without the background worries you might’ve previously had.
Close protection isn’t just about keeping people safe – our property and assets also carry substantial worth, whether that’s in terms of money, information or sentimental value. We understand that completely here at Churchill Support Services, and our complete close protection service encompasses coverage for your property too.
Whether your assets are at risk of damage, theft or counterfeited (crucial if you’re working with confidential documents), Churchill can provide an expert level of coverage and protection to provide the peace of mind you deserve.
Close protection shouldn’t end with the home or workplace. There’s significant safety threats on the roads, and we often find ourselves at our most vulnerable while driving. With our security chauffeuring service, we can ensure that same level of protection even when you’re on the move.
Of course, while all VIPs would benefit from an expertly-trained security chauffeur, there’s a more pressing need for those who do more travelling, such as high-profile politicians or sports stars. All of our drivers will have extensive training and experience in driving manoeuvres, evasion and escape techniques, and avoiding ambushes or roadblocks.
The threats to your safety don’t sleep, and neither do our security services here at Churchill Support Services. Whether you’re in your home, at a hotel, or at a temporary residency, we can offer total coverage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You’ll be able to rest easy knowing you’re constantly protected by a professionally-trained, screened and vetted security operative.
There’s long been research that supports the effectiveness of a visible security presence, and that’s especially true for your residence. Criminals and intruders will be put off at that first hurdle, effectively nipping the issue in the bud, and keeping you safe from threats that never had the chance to materialise.
Our solutions are tailored to your specific premises and security requirements, guaranteeing that you’ll receive a personalised, first-rate service each and every time.
Churchill Support Services are in the top 1% of ACS-Approved Contractors and are SafeContractor approved. Additionally, all our officers are highly trained and licensed by the SIA.
A rapid response is vital to protecting your site. With our average response time of 30 minutes across the UK, our officers will attend quickly to resolve any potential or genuine threats.
Whether you require static guarding, mobile patrols, CCTV, Keyholding or security for an event, Churchill Support Services offers the right security solution for you and your premises.
The presence of security guards provides an effective visual deterrent, turning away potential criminals and shielding your property from vandalism, theft, and other crime.
With our security guards able to adapt and fulfil multiple roles such as concierge duties and conducting risk assessments, you can keep costs down without compromising on vital services.
In an age where social media and reality television are becoming increasingly popular, and fans are able to interact more and more with their favourite stars, close protection and bodyguarding services have quickly become more popular. That’s for good reason, of course.
Studies conducted post-pandemic found that more than a third of all business owners, CEOs and senior executives have received threats or harassment at least once a week since reopening. Couple that with the stories of stalking and theft that dominate headlines, and it becomes abundantly clear why close protection security is essential.
Close protection is a more robust and singularly-focused service, and offers a greater level of protection for individuals, families and small groups. It offers a more self-contained service than security officers and mobile patrols, which – while exceptional services in their own right – are more focused on businesses, gatherings and events.
This service helps provide the peace of mind you deserve, and that might have otherwise been lacking without that additional layer of coverage. Plus, with a discreet approach to offering the security you need, you’ll never be far from the protection you need.
There’s a huge range of duties and responsibilities that you can reasonably expect from your close protection personnel. These include:
No. In the UK, carrying firearms is illegal, and close protection officers are no different. They’re also not legally allowed to carry other weapons, including tasers, pepper spray, batons and truncheons. Your expert close protection officer will instead be trained to defuse situations, deescalate any issues, and offer you complete protection, using physical intervention and restraint where needed.
While you’ll find our headquarters directly between two of the North West’s major cities in Liverpool and Manchester, we’re proud to offer a comprehensive, nationwide service. We know that, as a VIP, you’ll often be travelling, and our coverage extends across the whole of the UK to guarantee you the level of coverage you’ll come to expect from the UK’s #1 ACS-approved security firm.
Close protection is often recommended for VIPs, high net-worth individuals, and those in positions of power, and for good reason. These are often people who face considerable difficulties and challenges, as well as offering a more attractive target for thefts and assault.
The truth of the matter, though, is that anyone can request close protection. This might be due to issues with harassment and stalking, concerns for personal safety, or when handling particularly expensive or valuable items.
All of our close protection officers are fully SIA-licenced, and undergo a comprehensive screening and vetting process to ensure that they’re able to offer the levels of protection and service you both expect and deserve. They’ll also have completed an officially recognised and robust Close Protection course, which equips them to deal with a huge range of scenarios and incidents.
Yes! Our close protection operatives are specifically trained to offer you the consummate protection you need, wherever you are. That extends to your home (or additional properties you may have), workplace, events, or any other areas where you might spend a good period of time (the gym or an educational establishment, for instance).
We’re also able to provide security officers who stay behind to ensure the continued safety of your home while you’re not there.
All of the solutions we offer for close protection services are tailormade, and built to ensure that your unique circumstances are more than met. While this means we can’t provide an average price for our close protection officers, it does ensure that you’re always getting what you need at a competitive price point.
