Leading risk management consultancy King Safety and Security has secured the command of one of Britain’s leading close protection experts to head up its new protective services department.
David Breen MVO, MSc, formerly protection team leader for HRH Prince William, has been named head of protective services at King Safety and Security in charge of close protection officer training and protection guidance.
With a distinguished career background serving with the London Metropolitan Police Royalty and Specialist Protection command where his tenure saw him navigate the highest levels of protective security with precision and dedication, David brings unparalleled competence and leadership to the King Safety and Security management team.
David’s appointment to lead the protective services department comes at a crucial time for King Safety and Security and the close protection industry, as demands for close protection expand alongside increased risks and expectations in the deliverability of close protection.
The requirement for private security is growing in both the ultra-high net worth sector as well as the corporate space; the public sector is also relying increasingly on the private security industry.
With police numbers falling and crime on the rise, the private security sector is witnessing substantial growth which is predicted to continue. With increased demand comes huge variation in standards both from companies and individual operators.
King Safety and Security director Matthew Beer said: “We are thrilled to welcome David to our team; his extensive experience and exemplary track record make him the perfect choice to lead our protective services programme. Under his guidance, our close protection teams will continue to thrive and develop, ensuring our clients receive the highest standard of service available in the private sector. With his stewardship King Safety and Security will set a new standard of excellence.”
David Breen said: “I’m delighted to have joined KSS as their Head of Protective Services. It was clear to me when I first met the KSS team we had shared core values. I am excited to have the opportunity to bring my skill set to KSS and as a result the wider security industry. Looking forward to a positive future with KSS, trusted partners and developing new relationships concurrent with the KSS ethos.”
Matthew added: “We’ve witnessed growing demand for top-tier protective services for our clients; this sector is undergoing a sustained growth. Enlisting the enviable skills of David underlines our commitment in providing first-rate services to patrons worldwide.”
