London, Friday 6 November 2026 – Close Protection World is proud to welcome Jacquie Davis of Optimal Risk Group as a speaker at this year’s CPWorld Winter Conference in London.
With more than 35 years of experience in close protection, Jacquie is one of the most experienced and widely recognised professionals within the sector. Following an earlier career in policing, she has worked extensively as a Close Protection Officer across a broad range of operational environments, protecting high-profile individuals, celebrities and members of international royal families.
Her career has also encompassed risk assessment, strategic planning, counter-surveillance, defensive driving, hostage awareness and other specialist protective disciplines. Alongside her operational career, Jacquie has become a respected speaker and commentator on close protection, security and risk management.
At this year’s conference, Jacquie will deliver two presentations:
• Professional Boundaries: What Is Inappropriate in Close Protection
• Female Only – Etiquette and Protocol
The first session will examine professional boundaries within close protection and the standards of conduct expected of those working in positions of considerable trust and responsibility.
Her second presentation will be a female-only session focusing on etiquette and protocol, providing an opportunity for women working within or entering the close protection sector to engage directly with one of the industry’s most experienced female operatives.
Close Protection World is extremely pleased to welcome Jacquie to this year’s conference and looks forward to the experience, perspective and practical insight she will bring to both sessions.
The 2026 London event will feature:
• Guest speakers
• Presentations
• Exhibitors
• Workshops
• Networking
• Networking Drinks (Sponsored by 242 Group)
• Charity raffle
