Celebrity and UHNW Risk Management

 At MK Consultancy, we provide bespoke celebrity risk management and close protection services designed to protect individuals whose public profile creates unique and evolving risks. Our work goes beyond physical protection, addressing reputational, behavioural, digital, and environmental threats, while preserving freedom of movement, privacy, and lifestyle. Our services extend to high-profile and private events, as well as domestic and international touring, ensuring continuity of protection across appearances, performances, travel schedules, and off-duty environments where risk often fluctuates and controls can be limited. 

Our executive protection/close protection services are intelligence-led and proportionate. We integrate protective intelligence to identify emerging threats, track concerning individuals, assess locations, and support informed decision-making. This allows protection to remain low-profile, adaptive, and proactive, rather than reactive, while supporting demanding professional schedules and frequent public exposure. 

Public perception can directly influence personal safety. We assess how a client’s persona, public messaging, controversies, and media exposure increase threat levels or attract fixation. By understanding how the client is viewed—online and offline, we help reduce exposure, anticipate backlash or escalation, and advise on behaviours and appearances that minimise risk without damaging brand or authenticity. 

Paparazzi are a safety issue, not just a nuisance. We manage paparazzi presence through planning, positioning, timing, and movement strategies that reduce crowd pressure, flash distractions, vehicle interference, and escalation risks. Our approach protects dignity, safety, and control—particularly during arrivals, departures, and high-interest events. 

We assess fixation-based threats using behavioural analysis, communication patterns, and escalation indicators. Our stalker profiling identifies intent, capability, and risk trajectory, allowing us to implement tailored mitigation strategies. These include boundary management, evidence preservation, lifestyle adjustments, protective measures, and coordination with legal or law enforcement channels where appropriate. 

Travel is one of the highest-risk phases for public figures. We manage end-to-end travel logistics, including advance planning, secure routing, contingency options, and the use of professionally trained security drivers. Our focus is on safety, discretion, punctuality, and adaptability—whether travelling locally or internationally.
