OUR SERVICES
SUPPORTING YOUR INVESTMENT LIFECYCLE
From acquisition to disposal, we are here to support your investment lifecycle. We provide the insight, foresight and oversight of individuals…
…entities and markets across the continent that are material to the success of your strategy, using in-country networks and on-the-ground verification:
- Acquisitions and disposals
- Senior appointments
- Asset recovery
- Sensitive negotiations
In every case the work is the same: establish what is actually true, document it clearly and give decision-makers what they need to act.

SCENARIO BUSINESS RESILIENCE AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT PLANNING
From boardrooms to ops rooms we work with leadership teams to develop successful outcomes.
Our specialists partner with security and risk management personnel to build crisis management frameworks that cover the scenarios an organisation is likely to face in its specific operating environment.
Decision-making authority, communication protocols and evacuation routes are all mapped, tested and rehearsed before they are needed. We run desktop exercises and live simulations that put real pressure on the plan, identify where it fails and fix it before activation is required.
For organisations that need their people personally ready, we design and deliver bespoke training calibrated to the specific environments they operate in:
- hostile environment awareness,
- defensive driver training
- medical emergency response.
When a crisis does occur, the speed and quality of the decision to act is what determines the outcome.

TRAVEL RISK MANAGEMENT
Your people and your assets are our priority. Whether passing through a high-risk environment or based in-country for an extended period…
…personnel are managed from arrival to departure:
- airport transfer,
- ground movement,
- accommodation,
- day-to-day security management
- emergency response.
All planned against current threat and route intelligence from our Risk Intelligence Services analysts, ensuring the plan reflects the situation on the ground.
For frequently travelling or dispersed personnel, our TrackAssist platform provides real-time location monitoring, two-way communication and discreet emergency alerting, linked to our 24/7 operations centre.
We design, develop and deliver capabilities that protect your duty of care to your people, brand, reputation and assets.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE – INVESTIGATIONS, FRAUD AND THEFT
Despite the best efforts of our clients, things go wrong. Our teams combine forensic financial analysis with on-the-ground investigation in the markets where the issue has occurred.
Findings are structured for the audience: board, legal counsel, regulator or insurer. Every investigation concludes with recommendations that address root cause and we will develop roadmaps to improve resilience, prevent repetition of issues and strengthen governance.
We are available to support at any stage, from initial response through to recovery and governance improvement.

MANAGED SERVICES – EMBEDDED EXPERTISE AND RESILIENCE
Some operating environments require a permanent security capability. We embed within client organisations to deliver security and risk management functions…..
that fall outside their core business but are critical to continuity. Working as an extension of the leadership team, we provide the oversight and operational capability that keeps projects on track, people safe and the bottom line protected. Including:
- seconded Safety and Security Managers,
- 24/7 operations centre monitoring,
- fleet security management
- specialist oversight for remote and project-based operations.
For organisations building operations in new or high-risk markets, our capacity building service transfers the governance frameworks, management systems and operational knowledge needed to run security independently over time.
