Ground protection for senior executives at a major international sporting event
A client planned to attend a major sporting event in Mexico City, which experiences elevated crime risks. They needed discreet but robust ground support to protect senior executives, reduce exposure between the hotel and venue, and ensure a smooth experience throughout a busy event weekend. They approached us at short notice, relying on our rapid response and established presence in the region.
Challenge
The event drove high demand for security-trained drivers, vehicles and close protection teams across the city. Short notice made availability tight and pricing volatile. As the weekend approached, the client also adjusted their travel plans and required extra support. Meeting these changes in real time depended on strong local relationships and a flexible, well-drilled operations team.
Approach
Longstanding partnerships meant we could source vetted drivers, vehicles and close protection officers even during a peak-demand weekend. We built ground teams to reflect the changing number of travellers and their risk profiles, adapting the plan as new requests came in.
This allowed us to scale support without delay and maintain continuity throughout the visit.
Outcomes
The group moved through the city with confidence from arrival to departure. Ground moves ran smoothly; risks were mitigated and the service adapted to late changes without disruption. The client later shared their appreciation for the seamless support and the reassurance it gave their travellers.
