In Spear’s series acknowledging the best of the best in the worlds of law, property, wealth management, tax, lifestyle and more, we’re highlighting Philip Grindell MSc CSyP, founder and CEO of Defuse®.
When Philip Grindell retired from the police in 2019, having led the effort to protect MPs after the death of Jo Cox, he set up Defuse to safeguard high-profile individuals and corporations from physical, reputational and psychological harm.
Grindell combines protective intelligence, behavioural science and rigorous data analysis in order to keep his clients safe and eliminate the anxiety caused by intimidation and threats, carefully building bespoke packages for each client based on their individual circumstances.
Defuse recruits from GCHQ and police protection units. Grindell has been described by Baroness Sharmishta Chakrabarti as an ‘expert in respect of threats to public and high-profile figures and managing risk through practical solutions’.
