What is the difference between executive protection and a bodyguard?

The discipline is the same; the environment is not. Executive protection is built around business travel, corporate venues and scheduling, and usually places more emphasis on discretion and logistics than on visible presence.

Can protection be arranged for a single trip?

Yes. A large share of executive work is trip-based: one city, a few days, a fixed set of meetings.

Protection

Executive Protection

Executive protection has to fit around the business, not interrupt it. The measure of a good programme is that meetings still start on time.

What this is: Executives are time-poor and heavily scheduled. Protection that adds friction gets dropped within a fortnight. Ours is built around the itinerary: airport and station movements, office arrivals, hotels, site visits, dinners and the gaps between them.
Who it's for: CEOs, board members and senior staff whose movements are predictable.
Where we work: Cotswolds · Gloucestershire · London · UK · Worldwide
Why TACT: Assignment-led personnel selection, preparation before presence, and no unnecessary theatre. A new name built on experience.

Protection that respects the diary

Executives are time-poor and heavily scheduled. Protection that adds friction gets dropped within a fortnight. Ours is built around the itinerary: airport and station movements, office arrivals, hotels, site visits, dinners and the gaps between them.

Officers working at this level need to be comfortable in corporate environments — quiet, presentable, discreet about what they overhear, and able to deal with staff, drivers and venues without making a scene.

When companies bring us in

Common triggers include a restructure or redundancy programme, activist attention, litigation, a hostile shareholder situation, threatening contact, high-profile media coverage, or travel to an unfamiliar location.
