New security concern

Jan 24 2014


A new London-based maritime security concern Strategic Protection, has been launched

At the same time, the new company appointed a board of directors, which was described as highly experienced and knowledgeable, as was its staff

CEO Freddie Hall and the driver behind the company´s restructuring, said: “I am delighted to welcome the new board of directors of Strategic Protection Ltd. The Board members bring with them a wealth of international experience and are part of a well-connected network that will enable the firm to develop and grow into a leading provider of maritime security.

“The Board’s strategic vision is to build upon these networks, broaden the firm’s offering in its key markets and suitably augment its capabilities. I am delighted that we have the support of the board to spearhead our initiatives in this regard.”

COO is Tristan Rogers, who, as well as having over 18 years’ experience in operational and maritime protection, comes from a background in the armed forces. He said at the inauguration:  “The growth in the volume of commodities transported by sea is likely to reach 50% over the next two decades, however, the level of protection provided by the international naval community is likely to reduce considerably in light of global defence cutbacks.

“Therefore, we envisage that shipowners and operators will inevitably turn to maritime security companies, like Strategic Protection Ltd and the new technologically advanced security solutions the industry is able to provide,” he said.

The new company provides a range of extensive security related services including: security management, risk assessments and analysis, security surveys and security training.  It also provides detailed advice and support, specifically tailored to client’s individual needs. The company is ISO 9001 accredited with WQA, fully licensed by the UK Government.
