March 2012- Current
Jan 2002 – March 2012
For this period in my life my role as a Security Specialist has varied from working on the London circuit for
the Saudi Arabian Royal family and various celebrities, (Jan 2002 - Ongoing) to progressing my skills to
working on a SET (Security Escort Team) for firstly Armor Group (Jan 2004 – April 2005) in Iraq,
followed by a year back in London .
To then working for AEGIS (Nov 2007- July 2009) in Iraq where I have been acting as Personal
Protection Officer for a high ranking Colonel from the United States. To be held in such high regard by
my clients and fellow operatives all over the world is an honour.
Based in Baghdad I would conduct daily missions in and around the city and other areas within Iraq both
North and South, protecting our client directly related to the US government.
There are few, if any, better operatives on the circuit as my background and credentials back up, and I am
ready to adjust my experience to whatever the situation may dictate wherever, whenever.
My personal web site www.robertcurran.me which can elaborate more on my achievements and career so
far.
After four years in Baghdad I decided to go have a change of scenery working for G4S /Armor Group in
Kabul, Afghanistan (November 2009 – March 2010) as a TL (Team Leader) doing PSD (personal
security detail ) on a contract related to the U.S Government and British Embassy which utilised low
profile moves in two vehicles in and around Kabul. Jan 2011- March 2012 – I was involved in running
teams for Drum Cussac going back to my Royal Marines roots, involved in Anti Piracy tasks on ships all
over the Indian Ocean and the world .
3. Royal Marines Commando
June 95- Jan 02
During my seven years as a Royal Marines Commando, based at mainly 45 Commando RM and
Commachio Group RM, I have been all over the world serving in hostile areas such as Northern
Ireland, Kosovo, and Macedonia as well as training with other countries elite such as the Navy
Seals /US Marines where I was privileged to be part of an exchange programme.
I
also spent six months aboard HMS Ocean and Sir Galahad conducting boarding parties and Anti
smuggling operations. I class boarding operations as my roots.
More recently I have focused on physical fitness, running and operating within Royal Marines
sporting teams such as swimming, water polo and Boxing. I actually boxed for the Navy.
Whilst in Commando Training I was in the top four recruits to be awarded a Diamond, in contention
for the Kings Badge for best recruit, a standard I kept throughout my career.
I am also Jungle and Arctic trained, as well as being a Candidate for promotion.
