Welcome to our first-ever newsletter – don\u2019t worry, we are not going to spam you every day, week, or month! With the pandemic hopefully coming to an end, we thought it was essential to let you know that we are still trading and are here to assist you and your business in any way we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have invested a lot of time and money during the pandemic in developing the company and our new website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Office in Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before the first lockdown, we established an office in Paris<\/a> to continue operating in Europe post-Brexit. We are the only UK based security company licensed by the French Ministry of Interior to provide close protection related services in France and Monaco. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security for Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most unwelcome societal changes during Covid has been an astronomical rise in dog thefts. As leaders in risk management, we mitigated the threat posed to our client\u2019s four legged friends by launching the World\u2019s first \u2018dog-bodyguard\u2019 service, aptly named \u2018DoggyGuards\u00ae<\/sup>\u2019<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accepting Bitcoin Payments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More recently, we became the first private security company in the World to accept Bitcoin<\/a> and other cryptocurrency payments. You can read more about why we think digital currency is the future and its security benefits by clicking through to the article below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Security and Your Tax Burden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our latest article, we looked into personal security as a tax-deductible expense<\/a>. Security measures from CCTV to close protection can be offset against tax, learn more below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold Standard Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We created a whole host of \u2018gold standard\u2019 articles to help our clients and potential clients with their security through the lockdown. We aimed to answer and explain some of the most asked questions with detailed informational articles. We have highlighted some of the most popular below for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close Protection Redefined<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and we re-wrote the definition of \u2018close protection\u2019<\/a> and wrote a series of highly-regarded educational articles for security operatives to help keep their knowledge, fitness, and standards high during the lockdown. A top US university even picked up some of our content for their courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact Us for Assistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, we have been keeping busy and are lucky enough to have come out the other side more ready than ever to provide our security and investigation services in a post-pandemic world. We hope you like our new website and find our articles helpful. If we can assist, please do not hesitate to get in touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
