Named and Official

The companies we stand beside in public.

Discretion means we rarely name the companies we work with. Our Circle is the exception: the official, well-established partners of Algoz Group, each presented in its own section below.

Algoz remains your point of contact from the first brief, and brings in the partner your plans call for.

Part of Algoz Group · Nice, France

1831 Prétorien: close protection and security consultancy in France.

1831 Prétorien is part of Algoz Group: our first close protection company, providing security consultancy from its base in Nice, France. It is licensed by the CNAPS, the national regulator of private security under the French Ministry of the Interior, for the physical protection of persons.

Its work starts before anyone travels: threat and risk assessment, route planning, and residential security reviews, including temporary residences. Then close protection on the ground. French law requires every officer on such a detail to hold an individual CNAPS professional card.

French law (articles L612-14 and L612-15 of the Code de la sécurité intérieure) requires this statement: « L’autorisation d’exercice ne confère aucune prérogative de puissance publique à l’entreprise ou aux personnes qui en bénéficient. » In English: the authorisation to operate confers no prerogative of public authority on the company or on the persons who benefit from it.

See close protection consultancy in France, and close protection in Paris, Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Courchevel.

Expeditionary Partner · Lausanne, Switzerland

Qhanati: bespoke expeditions to South America, Antarctica and the Arctic.

Qhanati is our expeditionary partner for bespoke journeys to South America, Antarctica and the Arctic. It is a small, independent Swiss house of luxury travel, founded in Lausanne, that designs private, tailor-made journeys and exceptional stays.

Together we plan the journeys that need two kinds of knowledge at once: the expedition itself, from Peru and the Andes to Antarctica, Greenland and the Arctic, and everything Algoz adds around it, from protection and secure transfers to concierge in the gateway cities. When protection is part of the brief, the officer travels on the expedition vessel as a guest in the party.

See luxury travel in Peru, Antarctica luxury expeditions, Greenland expeditions, Svalbard expeditions and Arctic luxury travel.
