Meet Ascot Privé

Protective Program Development

A family with a seasonal residence on Martha’s Vineyard sought to enhance the property’s protective posture ahead of their summer stay. The home regularly hosts extended family and close friends, with staff operating year-round to maintain the estate. While the location offers natural privacy, the combination of seasonal visitors, local events, and public ferry access presented potential vulnerabilities that required discreet but effective mitigation.

Summary

A Fortune 100 executive team from New York travelled to London for a series of high-level meetings, including a private engagement at Downing Street. The multi-day visit required full-spectrum support across transportation, protective presence, and diplomatic-level coordination. The client’s primary focus was on security continuity, discretion, and assured access across all venues — from government sites to corporate boardrooms and hosted events.

Context & Requirements

With multiple executives in attendance, the itinerary spanned central London, requiring secure daily movements between their Mayfair hotel, Downing Street, private meeting venues, and several hosted dinners. Timing was critical — with diplomatic schedules and corporate commitments overlapping. The client requested secure airport arrival via private aviation at Stansted (Signature Flight Support), discreet on-the-ground movement, and protective coordination with minimal visibility. London traffic, security zones, and unannounced street disruptions introduced further complexity.

Outcome

Ascot Privé deployed a close protection team with prior diplomatic experience, supported by a vetted executive vehicle fleet and an embedded liaison for hotel and venue coordination. Protective oversight began at Stansted upon arrival and remained in place until the delegation’s departure, including advance site checks, motorcade planning, and continuous schedule alignment.

Close cooperation with local authorities and building security ensured seamless access to restricted locations. Despite tight timing and multiple shifts in the itinerary, all movements remained smooth, secure, and discreet — allowing the executive team to focus fully on strategic outcomes while Ascot Privé managed the operational integrity of the visit behind the scenes.
