Close protection in Glasgow and Edinburgh is for principals who need personal security without drawing attention: executives, high-net-worth individuals, public figures and visiting clients. It is not the same as door supervision or static guarding. The licence, the planning and the posture are different.
Signs you need close protection
- Travel between venues, hotels or private residences with elevated risk
- Public events, premieres or appearances where crowd pressure is likely
- Business meetings where discretion and access control matter
- Family or principal movements that need a quiet, professional escort
What good close protection looks like
SIA-licensed close protection officers plan routes, advances and contingencies before the day starts. On the ground they stay close enough to intervene and far enough to keep the principal comfortable. In Glasgow and Edinburgh that means knowing hotel layouts, venue exits and how city traffic actually behaves at peak times.
