Regimental Sergeant Major. His career spanned 23 years, an accumulated 8 years of which
were served on operational tours. He was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal by HM
the Queen in 2011 for his outstanding career including Close Protection services to British
Ambassadors and Senior Generals in hostile countries.
When he retired Rick worked exclusively in the UHNW security arena, employing Close
Protection Officers and security specialists in roles across the world.
He is one of only 180 Security Specialists in the UK to be awarded the highest award of
Chartered Security Professional (CSyP) and has an MSc in Security Management from
Loughborough Uni. The disparity between those that were professional and those that were
not had a marked impact on Rick’s decision to accept his current role of Chief Executive at
the Security Institute. He now drives the strategic aims of the Institute, one of which is to
encourage professional development and continuous learning.
