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 high-net-worth family planned an extended summer stay in Paris, accompanied by young children, extended relatives, and rotating guests. Known for hosting private dinners, cultural outings, and excursions around the city, the family required discreet protective integration throughout the visit. Their priority was ensuring safety, coordination, and peace of mind — all without disrupting the relaxed, high-touch nature of the trip.

Context & Requirements

While the family had concierge services and a personal assistant managing the itinerary, there was no structured oversight for movement, guest access, or coordination across multiple vehicles and venues. Several children, elderly relatives, and household staff needed to be moved around the city — often to different destinations at different times. The family requested an embedded protective consultant who could operate quietly, manage all logistical movement, and provide a steady presence behind the scenes, especially in hotel environments and during high-traffic dining or shopping activities.

Outcome

Ascot Privé deployed an experienced close protection consultant familiar with the family’s preferences and with cultural fluency in the Paris region. A multi-vehicle setup with vetted chauffeurs was implemented, allowing for real-time adjustments and staggered movement across the city. Hotel teams, concierge staff, and private venues were coordinated with discreetly, ensuring minimal visibility and maximum control.

Daily movement was handled with calm precision. Unexpected changes, such as spontaneous dinner invitations or last-minute guest arrivals, were absorbed without disruption. By embedding a trusted point of contact into the family’s rhythm, Ascot Privé ensured every part of the stay was secure, seamless, and fully supported — without interrupting the family’s experience or comfort.
