Paul Rice
Operations Manager
“After over 20 years in the Police Force primarily in specialist roles as a Close Protection Officer, I am now fully engaged in operations, fleet management and VIP transportation at Veho.
I spent many years focused on the personal protection and driving of UK government personnel and visiting foreign VIPs including the role of principal protection driver for Pope Benedict’s visit to the UK in 2010, I was on the team for the G20 protection package in 2009, the London stage of the Tour de France in 2011 and the transportation of the US secretary of State, US Defense Secretary and US President and Vice President at various times. I was also a member of the Special Escort Group in Royalty Protection (SO14) for a number of years.
VIPs and/or Events such as these always involve extensive and detailed negotiations and co-ordination with many stakeholders including organizing committees, senior Police Officers from a number of forces, staff of the visiting dignities, other emergency services, government departments and security organisations. I have been involved in every stage of these projects from the initial planning stages to the delivery of the event – controlling vehicle movements, maintaining command from the control room, problem solving and directing individual personnel to their assignments.
Now, through my work with Veho I use all my skills and experience to assist in the operation of the logistics and transportation at high profile events and with prestige brands. Before and during events, I am involved in the planning and implementation of VIP transportation and the logistics of the event fleet on the ground. The precision planning of the events enables us to give our clients what we know they want – faultless delivery and professional service. Having worked with a significant number of high profile VIPs from around the world, we know how important security, confidentiality and privacy is. Our clients can be assured of these when they work with Veho.”
