Personal and executive protection
Close &
Executive Protection
Discreet personal protection for private clients, families and senior executives in London, throughout the UK and internationally.
Protection built around the principal
Security that preserves freedom of movement.
Close protection must reduce exposure without allowing security to dominate the client’s day. Spartan plans around the principal, their routine, public profile, travel and operating environment.
Assignments may involve one experienced protection officer or a coordinated team combining advance work, secure transport, residential coverage and liaison with venues or local partners.
Our personnel are selected for judgement, discretion and professional conduct. The protective presence can be visible when deterrence is required or deliberately unobtrusive when privacy is the priority.
Specialist capability
Protection from residence to destination.
Personal protection
Close protection officers supporting principals, families and executives through daily movements and changing environments.
Advance and route planning
Preparation of venues, routes, arrivals and departures to identify and reduce avoidable exposure.
Executive protection
Professional protection aligned with business schedules, corporate environments and sensitive meetings.
Protective coordination
Integration with drivers, residences, events, hotels and local security arrangements for continuity.
Indicative pricing
Clear starting points before you enquire.
Every assignment is assessed individually, but these guide prices explain what to expect for standard UK requirements. Final pricing depends on risk, location, notice, personnel profile, travel and any supporting vehicles.
Short close protection
From £100 / hour, per CPO
Available from a three-hour minimum. This starting rate applies principally to three- and four-hour assignments with suitably experienced personnel selected for the requirement. Specialist military, advanced-medical or other requested profiles are quoted separately. Assignments under eight hours can be arranged according to the requirement.
Standard close protection
From £500 / CPO
Indicative starting price for a standard eight-hour deployment. Additional hours, multiple officers, advance work, travel and higher-risk requirements are costed separately.
Executive vehicle and driver
From £120 / hour
Vehicle and executive-driver provision carries a separate eight-hour minimum. This remains applicable when close protection itself is booked for a shorter period.

Our operating approach
Assess.
Plan.
Protect.
Effective close protection begins before the principal moves. We understand the itinerary, exposure and priorities, then prepare a proportionate plan able to adapt without unnecessary disruption.
Confidential consultation
We establish the people, location, timescale, movement and immediate concerns.
Risk-led assessment
We review exposure, vulnerabilities, existing arrangements and the operating environment.
Protective plan
We recommend proportionate personnel, procedures, advance work and contingencies.
Deployment and review
Selected personnel are briefed and managed as circumstances and requirements evolve.
Calm, capable and proportionate
Protection should create confidence—not restriction.
The right officer brings situational awareness, sound decision-making and the interpersonal ability to operate naturally around the client, family, staff and professional advisers.
Spartan can support a single engagement, an intensive period of travel or an ongoing requirement, with personnel and coverage adjusted as circumstances change.
- Private clients and families
- Chief executives and senior leaders
- High-profile and public-facing individuals
- Business and private travel
- Short-notice and ongoing assignments
