The award, presented by Global Recognition Awards, reflects the company’s position as a credible and capable operator within elite private security, with a service record built on genuine client relationships rather than marketing positioning. Lisa Gates, the firm’s founder and a former HM Forces operative, entered the sector in June 2024 with a model grounded in direct field experience. The results have since validated those early operational decisions.
Within its first year, Xxon grew from zero revenue to a VAT-registered operation with a network of operatives covering multiple regions. This growth reflects genuine client demand rather than projected expansion. The firm’s client base has not only grown in size but also in depth, with clients returning for repeat engagements and referring others based on service quality. This pattern of sustained trust, across varied and complex assignments, forms the foundation of a model proven in the field.
A Service Model Built Around the Client
Xxon’s approach deliberately departs from standard security models, designing protection around each client’s specific lifestyle and operational requirements rather than applying a uniform framework.
Many clients require a security presence that integrates seamlessly into their daily lives without drawing attention. Xxon has structured its delivery model to meet this expectation. Confidentiality and discretion are essential components of every assignment, ensuring safety without compromising comfort or freedom of movement.
The firm’s operatives are exclusively drawn from military and police backgrounds, bringing a level of discipline and operational experience that cannot be replicated through training alone. All operatives hold the appropriate licensing, including Security Industry Authority (SIA) certification and FREC qualifications where required.
Core capabilities include advanced medical response, behavioral detection, and risk management, supported by a rigorous vetting process to ensure consistency in both performance and professional conduct.
Leadership and the Female-Led Advantage
Xxon operates within a sector that remains predominantly male-led. Gates’ decision to build a female-led close protection firm was not a strategic positioning exercise, but a natural extension of her experience and understanding of client requirements, including discretion and privacy.
For clients seeking a lower-visibility security presence, a female-led team can provide that without compromising capability, professionalism, or situational awareness. Gates has translated her background in both military and medical environments into a leadership style defined by composure, precision, and controlled authority—qualities essential to close protection.
She remains operationally active, working alongside her team. This hands-on approach ensures that internal standards remain aligned with real-world conditions and are not detached from operational demands.
The results of this leadership are reflected in the firm’s track record, with repeat engagements and referrals across complex assignments demonstrating a high level of client trust.
According to the Global Security Industry Alliance, the global private security market is projected to exceed $560 billion by 2026, with demand for discreet, high-level close protection services continuing to grow.
