As we close the first quarter of the year, we are proud to reflect on the continued expansion of our team, the strengthening of our leadership structure, and the growth of our global operational capability.
This quarter has included continued business growth across multiple regions, alongside the further development of our leadership and back office team through the appointments of:
Valerie Dovifaaz as Vice President of Business Operations
April McMahan as Financial Controller
Lana McEvoy as Director of Financial Accounts
Grant McDonald as Director of Embedded Operations
Colby Valas as Director of Global Operations
This highly qualified leadership and back office team supports the continued growth of our full-time workforce, which now stands at 64 employees.
We have also continued to make progress across our international operations with the appointment of Neil Payne as Executive Protection Ambassador across the Middle East, based in the UAE.
These developments reflect the trust our clients place in us, the high standards our teams maintain, and the commitment we make every day to delivering professional protective services the right way.
Our growth is not simply about numbers. It is about strengthening the business in the right areas, investing in exceptional people, and continuing to build an organisation that can support clients globally with consistency, discretion, and professionalism.
As we move into Q2, our focus remains clear: to build on strong foundations, support our clients worldwide, and continue raising standards across every aspect of our operations.
More updates to follow.

Global protective services delivered with discretion, professionalism, and purpose.
