What do you love most about your job?
Receiving Positive Feedback! this is the most important factor, knowing my clients are happy and have received a good service is why I'm in business.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After leaving a career serving as a Bomb Search &.Disposal operative in the British Armed Forces, I began working as a bodyguard to VIP's across London. Over the years I began noticing a vast drop in standards within the security industry, due to the people coming into it using it as a stepping stone, rather than seeing it as a profession, leaving clients in desperate need.
I started my business focusing on providing the best operatives I've worked with over the years, or for those on low budgets, taking average security guards and with my team's knowledge an experience, transforming them into security professionals.
Why should our clients choose you?
I never disappoint! I am well regarded within the security industry, anyone working on my behalf represents not only my company, but me personally. If you decide to invest in my company, you are guaranteed to receive quality guards who deliver a professional service.
Personal Security
PERSONAL SECURITY SERVICES
Personal security is a defensive concept aimed to combat real and perceived threatening, criminal or bereiving experiences. It can be adopted by households and individuals to protect against physical and psychological harm, allowing a sense of safety, freedom of movement and free speech in both domestic and public settings without fear or anxiety.
The physical application of personal security can be narrowed down to the licensable activity (UK) know as Close Protection, which sub houses categories such as Executive Protection, Asset Protection, Personal Protection, Residential Security, Security Drivers, Bodyguards and VIP Security.
Your requirements are placed at the head of our operations, this allows us to provide you with a service that is more than just security, it is personal to you.What makes our security service personal is the way its operation is built to fit around and into your lifestyle, to ensure the required level of security can be implemented as your situation changes.
We understand you may or may not require a strict ‘rigid’ security presence 24/7, some prefer a smiling face, a ‘good morning sir’ or ‘madam’, or covert (discreet) security services to blend in with the rest of your staff.
“In Personal Security our aim is simple and effective:- “Garvian allows you the freedom to lead a life you wish to Live”. In todays modern world the physical application of such is achieved through constant adaptation and restructuring, then made successful by our team of dedicated professionals.
– Scott Jones (Managing Director)

Bespoke Personal Security
5 Key Areas:
We build a bespoke VIP Security package, tailored to each and every client, whether its just for the day or a permanent requirement. To Ensure a successful build we use a planning formula, targeting five key areas:
Lifestyle is the datum factor in providing your service, you may wish to lead a safer more secure lifestyle or quite the opposite, be able to take more risks. It is vital to ensure your security is tailored to run in parallel with your lifestyle you intend to lead, to enable it to reach its desired effect.
Personal Preference depicts which methods are adopted and how your security service is fine tuned. For example, some prefer our security operatives to open doors prior to entering/ exiting vehicles and venues, where as others prefer to open doors themselves to attract less attention.
Service requirement is determined by the level of risk at present against future risk. The service is implemented dependant on how much risk you wish to take.
Facilitation accommodates your lifestyle and personal preferences, dependant on variable factors such as: Religion, Culture, Profile, Status.
Discretion, a general rule of thumb for the UK is the higher profile, the higher the risk. We can employ various methods to lower or raise your profile dependant of the lifestyle you prefer to lead. Whether high or low profile, we employ preventative measures to ensure the information you wish to keep private, remains so.

Corporate Security
Corporate Security is a defensive approach to personnel and asset management, focused on protection and loss prevention. Due to the rise in complex attacks such as terrorism, cyber and organised crime, businesses across London and key areas of the UK are upscaling their defences to combat the potential threat they face, which may negatively impact their productivity and reputation.
For this reason we focus our recruitment on former military, police and government close protection officers who have received extensive training and accumulated a diverse range of hands on experience in VIP security and risk management.
“In Corporate Security our aim is simple and effective:- “Garvian allows your Business the freedom to grow and your Executives the ability to take calculated risks”. In todays Corporate world your buisness requires a resiliant security outfit, constantly adapting and restructuring as your business grows and the markets change. It can only be made successful by a team of dedicated professionals, experienced in all aspects of security and the impact it has within both corporate and social environments. We achieve our aim through dedicated team work, an experienced workforce, strong business to business AND business to employee communications .”
– Scott Jones (Managing Director)

Our Role
Modern corporate security relies upon a strategic approach to management and leadership, the impact of a security department depends on its ability to persuade individuals to collaborate with the company’s security policies. To ensure this we concentrate on the intellectual approach of our security being in proportion with the physical aspect, by focusing on key areas such as communication, psychology, de-escalation techniques and manoeuvring.
We understand businesses may need to take calculated risks to break into new markets, attend meetings and meet deadlines. We facilitate those risks by ensuring both technical and human elements of security are structured to impact your business and staff effectively, essentially giving your business an iron core with a velvet surface.
Each and every operative we deploy on Corporate security operations is within him/herself an expert within their field of security. As a company, our ex military senior management control operational planning, outer communiations and facilitate the requirements of our security operatives to ensure you receive a premier security service.
