Bodyguard Service in East Sussex

Close Protection for High-Profile Clients

Our clients include people whose profile, position, or public visibility means close protection isn't optional, it's part of how they operate. We provide bodyguard services in East Sussex and across the South East for:

• VIPs, celebrities, and public figures attending events, premieres, award ceremonies, and red carpet engagements

• Dignitaries, diplomats, and visiting royalty who require structured close protection during official or private visits

• Senior executives and corporate leaders travelling to conferences, board meetings, or high-level engagements

• Touring artists and performers appearing at concerts, festivals, or private events across the region

• High-net-worth individuals and families who expect a professional security presence as standard

Whether the engagement is public or private, planned well in advance or arranged at short notice, we build the protection around the principal and the schedule, not the other way around.

Events, Engagements, and Public Appearances

Close protection at high-profile events demands officers who understand how these environments work, managing arrivals and departures, navigating crowds and media, maintaining positioning around the principal, and coordinating with venue security, event organisers, and private staff.

We provide bodyguard services in East Sussex and the wider South East for red carpet events, gala dinners, award ceremonies, press calls, live performances, corporate conferences, product launches, private parties, and charity engagements. Our officers are experienced in working alongside PR teams, personal assistants, and production staff to keep things running smoothly without compromising security.

Protection From Gatwick and Heathrow

For clients flying into the UK, we can have close protection in place at Gatwick or Heathrow timed to your arrival. Your officer can meet you at the terminal, manage the transition to your vehicle, whether a security chauffeur or private transport, and accompany you to your destination.

Gatwick provides direct access into East Sussex and is well positioned for Brighton, Eastbourne, and onward travel to London. Heathrow serves clients heading into central London or travelling south through Surrey and into the county.

For visiting dignitaries, touring artists, executives arriving for conferences, or public figures attending engagements in the South East, having close protection from the moment you land ensures a controlled, low-profile arrival, whether you're heading to a private residence, a hotel, or straight to a venue.

Secure Travel Across the South East and Into London

Many of our clients move between East Sussex and London regularly, for meetings, media appearances, events, or engagements in the capital. We also support travel between major locations across the South East, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Gatwick, and key routes into central London.

Close protection during travel can include advance route planning, secure vehicle movement, on-foot escorting at venues, and coordination with security teams at your destination. For clients with busy schedules across multiple locations in a single day, we plan the detail so that transitions between engagements are smooth, secure, and on time.

Why WH Management Group

We are based in East Sussex with officers who operate across the South East and into London regularly. Every officer holds a valid SIA licence in close protection, and many come from military, policing, and emergency service backgrounds. We are not an agency that sends whoever is available, we select officers for each assignment based on the principal, the environment, and the level of exposure involved.

A bodyguard service in East Sussex through WHMG can also be supported by our wider specialist security capability, including security chauffeuring, surveillance and counter-surveillance, Super Recognisers, and canine detection services. If the brief calls for more than a close protection officer, we can scale the operation without involving outside providers.
