We hired six close protection officers for a celebrity music event and were extremely impressed with the service provided. Initially, we were sceptical about paying upfront, but the team professionally explained their reasons, reassuring us and giving us the confidence to proceed. All six officers arrived looking exceptionally smart, well-presented and high-class. Their professionalism, presence and conduct were exactly what you would expect for a high-profile event. The service was worth every penny, and the team exceeded our expectations. We would happily use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional close protection security.

We hired VIP Protection Services for our festival and had an excellent experience. We had 20 event security officers on-site, and the entire team was very professional, well-dressed, friendly, and highly organized. They handled everything calmly and professionally, including dealing with trouble and difficult situations during the festival. Their presence gave us great peace of mind and helped the event run smoothly and safely. Highly recommended.

We employed 35 close protection officers for Notting Hill Carnival, and we were extremely impressed with the service provided. The whole team were smartly dressed, impeccably presented and highly professional throughout the event. Their customer service was exceptional — they were polite, approachable, attentive and handled themselves with confidence and discretion. A fantastic team who went above and beyond. Highly recommended.

We came across VIP Protection Services on TikTok and Instagram and decided to give their close protection and jet services a try — and honestly, we were extremely impressed! From the moment we booked, the customer service was outstanding. We flew from London Luton to Dubai, and the entire experience felt first-class. The team made us feel completely looked after. The dress code was immaculate, the professionalism was second to none, and they even provided us with a complimentary drink and airport transportation. We have already booked two more flights with them!

Outstanding service from VIP Protection Services! We hired three close protection officers plus their jet today from London Luton to the Canary Islands, and the whole experience was first class from start to finish. The officers were exceptionally professional, perfectly dressed, discreet and extremely attentive throughout. They made everything feel smooth and stress-free, and we were even through security extra fast. Absolutely outstanding service and highly recommended.
