I am an experienced independent security consultant who delivers high-quality security audits, reviews and assessments. Having conducted almost three hundred physical penetration tests, I have the experience and knowledge to understand threats and vulnerabilities through the eyes of a hostile actor. I can also conduct comprehensive reviews of security guarding operations and control rooms and provide advice, through benchmarking analysis of British Standards and sector best practice. As a specialist in urban 'hostile reconnaissance', I am able to assist your clients and security teams in understanding the 'hostile mindset' and so put in place effective countermeasures. My experience includes testing high-end corporate premises, including City of London prestigious and corporate office buildings, critical national infrastructure operational centres, large-scale construction sites, dockyards, high-value jewellers, higher-education establishments, crowded places and tourist venues. My audits have also included monitoring staff and high-value assets through foot and mobile surveillance. 

My background is that of a career detective in the Metropolitan Police Special Branch and Counter-Terrorism Command and I have since become an award-winning security consultant, trainer and investigator. I was a winner of the 2019 UK Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPA) in the 'Outstanding Security Training Initiative' category for my training of anti-poaching rangers in Tanzania. Furthermore, I was a winner of the 'Outstanding Investigator' and 'Outstanding Security Consultant' categories at the 2017 OSPAs as a core member of the 'Praemunitus' Somaliland police advisory, capacity-building and development training team. 

As a former board-elected Director of the Association of Security Consultants (ASC), I believe in delivering the highest professional and business standards for your clients.
