OUR EXPERIENCE

Experience that goes beyond the security industry.

Fortress North was established around a simple principle: clients deserve security professionals who understand the reality of operational risk, not simply the theory.

Our experience has been developed through specialist policing, firearms operations, protective security, instruction and international deployments.

The founder of Fortress North is a former UK Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officer, National Firearms Instructor and Firearms Tactical Advisor, with experience across specialist firearms policing and protective operations.

This includes national and international firearms experience, operational work alongside military and specialist agencies, and deployments within the British Overseas Territories.

Experience has also included working alongside local military, UK Special Forces and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, providing an understanding of how different specialist capabilities operate together in complex environments.

International experience

Fortress North also brings experience from operational deployments within the Caribbean British Overseas Territories, including Turks and Caicos and Anguilla.

In Turks and Caicos, the founder developed and delivered a National Policing Firearms Training Curriculum-compliant Close Protection course for new candidates, achieving a 100% pass rate.

This combination of operational experience and instructional experience is important to how Fortress North approaches protection.

We understand that effective security is not simply about physical presence.

It requires planning, judgement, communication, preparation and the ability to adapt when circumstances change.

More than protection

Our experience also extends into training, assessment and professional development, including firearms instruction, tactical advisory work, first aid, close protection and specialist operational training.

This provides Fortress North with a broader understanding of risk and allows us to approach client requirements from a position of practical experience.

We do not believe experience should be used as a reason to overcomplicate security.

It should allow us to make better decisions, ask better questions and provide clients with clear, proportionate advice.

Bringing experience together

Fortress North combines operational experience with a trusted professional network, allowing us to bring together protection, transportation, accommodation, specialist security advice and other services where required.

The result is a security service built around the client rather than a predetermined package.

Experienced people. Intelligent planning. Discreet protection.
