Simon Mears’ experiences in the Security and Aviation industries spans the past 18 years, the past 15 years of which have been served on five respective long term contracts working into and out of East, Central and Southern Africa, Europe and North America.

Initial and Security Agent training and experience was achieved towards the end of the 1980s. Simon also attained his Canadian Commercial Pilot’s Licence Multi-Engine Instrument Rating in 1990, but decided shortly thereafter for personal reasons to revert to Security and ground operations in 1992.

During the past 15 years, Simon has had the pleasure of working closely with Foreign Governments (including the UK, Canadian, Dutch, Russian & US Governments, overseeing the Diplomatic Protection Units, Embassies and Residences), Multi-National Corporations (such as BP Amaco, Oil Com and Shell International), Banks (including Citigroup, Standard Chartered and ABSA), Gold Mines (including Ashanti, Anglo Gold and Resolute), Insurance Underwriters (in the City of London), Airlines (including British Airways, KLM and South African Airways) and International Tour Operators. His expertise of working in the difficult third world conditions is matched by his experience of dealing and working in the developed world.
