Aztec Asset Assured Ltd

Aztec Asset Assured Ltd. was established in order to nurture the needs of a market that required a unique and bespoke service. Many security companies provide a generic service to I.P's which can at times overlook the specific needs of a client.

This ensures the client can tweak the service requirements to minimize costs and maximise efficency.

​

Together with our Asset Management and Property Services, we also provide comprehensive VIP protection service, exclusively utilising a team of former Police Close Protection Officers and Military Personnel, all Close Protection (SIA) qualified who have worked on the same unit together for over a decade.
