DISCREET AND PROFESSIONAL · IN BRAZIL SINCE 2008 · LONDON CLIENT SUPPORT
WHO WE PROTECT
Protection that fits the purpose of your visit
Different journeys call for different levels of coordination. We discuss your plans first, then consider an appropriate arrangement rather than assuming every client needs the same service.
Executives and business leaders
Discreet support around meetings, site visits, schedules and professional engagements for business owners, senior executives and international business travellers.
Private clients and families
Protection planned around personal commitments, privacy and changing arrangements for private and UHNW clients, families and family offices.
Delegations and high-profile visitors
Coordinated support for corporate delegations, VIP guests, celebrities and public-facing individuals, and clients attending major events.
OUR CLOSE PROTECTION SERVICES
What a close protection arrangement may include
The scope of support depends on the nature of the assignment and the requirements agreed in advance.
Personal protection
English-speaking close protection operatives, with male and female bodyguards selected to suit the client, programme and circumstances.
Advance planning
Advance planning and security assessments, with consideration of arrivals, routes, hotels, meeting places and venues.
Coordinated movements
Coordination with security drivers and secure transportation where required, and with executive assistants, family offices and security teams.
Flexible arrangements
Support for short visits, multi-day programmes or longer-term assignments, reviewed as plans change.
A CLEAR, COORDINATED APPROACH
Planned before arrival. Adapted during your stay.
Our close protection arrangements are planned around each client’s itinerary, requirements and agreed level of support, with clear coordination between personal protection and transportation. Where appropriate, we coordinate in advance with executive assistants, family offices, corporate security teams and travel managers, so arrangements are aligned with the client’s schedule before arrival in Brazil.
01
Share the visit
Tell us the dates, places, principal requirements and key engagements.
02
Shape the arrangement
We review the brief and discuss the protection and coordination required.
03
Stay coordinated
If the programme changes, relevant arrangements can be reviewed as the visit develops.
CLOSE PROTECTION AND SECURE TRANSPORTATION
Close protection and secure transportation are different services
Close protection
Close protection focuses on the personal security of the client.
Secure transportation
Secure transportation focuses on safe, professionally coordinated vehicle journeys and the role of the security driver.
When both services are needed, Unique Close Protection can plan them together as part of the same assignment, providing continuity between personal protection and transportation while keeping each role clearly defined.
LOCAL LEADERSHIP. INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION.
Brazil experience and local operational leadership
Unique Close Protection has operated in Brazil since 2008 and is led on the ground by founder Derek Pucci, who brings more than 20 years of security and protection experience, including 15 years of public-security service in São Paulo and selection for IOPE / Special Operations. Based in São Paulo, Derek remains directly involved in operational planning, personnel coordination and service delivery.
Since 2023, our London operation has supported international enquiries and pre-travel communication for clients in the UK and Europe, while protection is planned and coordinated in Brazil. Services may be arranged in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and other destinations, subject to assessment.
