    Family OfficeBy Roy · Director, VIP Protection Services29 June 202610 min read

    The short version: Personal Protection for UHNW Families — One Programme, Every Principal — published 2026 rates, working SIA playbook, insured. short-notice cover, subject to availability in London, nationwide by arrangement.

    UHNW family protection done badly is a series of disconnected vendors. Done properly it is one programme, every principal, one director on the other end of the phone.

    Mapping the Family

    Principal, spouse, children, principals' parents, ex-spouses where relevant. Each gets a named risk profile and a named CPO lead. Programme director keeps the whole family in a single live brief.

    Differentiated Protocols by Principal

    The principal may run with two CPOs and a chase vehicle. The teenage child may run with one female CPO at school pickups only. The principal's parents may run with a residential officer overnight. Each scaled to risk.

    School & University Cover

    Discreet officers briefed by school name, photo and timetable. School head and bursar informed where appropriate, under NDA. University-age cover handled with a lighter footprint and on-call response model.

    Family Travel & Holidays

    Single programme covers London, country estate and overseas holiday villa. Same provider, same brief, no vendor handoff. One invoice, one report, one director.

    Pricing — Family Programme

    Standard 4-principal UHNW family programme: from a bespoke monthly retainer. Larger family with multiple residences: from a bespoke monthly retainer. Includes intelligence, residential, school cover and travel.
