Mark brings over 25 years of combined military and private security experience, beginning with 10 years of elite service in the 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, including six operational tours.  

Following military service, Mark spent 18 years in high-level private security, with more than 12 years’ operating overseas in hostile and high-risk regions across the Middle East and Africa. During this time, he worked across multiple roles — from personal protection operative to VIP Close Protection Team Leader — leading multinational teams in support of global leaders, major international organisations, and high-profile individuals.

After returning from overseas operations, Mark transitioned his expertise to the protection of ultrahigh-net-worth individuals, families, and estates, delivering a continuity-focused, highly professional security service aligned with private lives and long-term interests. His approach enables clients to operate freely — in business, family life, and travel — with absolute confidence that their people, property, and reputation are protected.
