London, Friday 6 November 2026 – Close Protection World is pleased to welcome James Lawrence MSc CSyP FSyI F.ISRM, Co-Founder and Strategic Operations Director of Peregrine Risk Management, as a speaker at this year’s CPWorld Winter Conference in London.
James is a highly experienced security risk management professional whose career spans strategic consultancy, operational security, intelligence, resilience and risk management across government, critical national infrastructure and major international organisations.
As a Chartered Security Professional, Fellow of The Security Institute and Fellow of the Institute of Strategic Risk Management, James combines extensive practitioner experience with senior-level strategic and academic expertise. His background includes international consultancy across complex and highly regulated environments, alongside active military service and extensive worldwide operational exposure.
At this year’s conference, James will deliver both a main-stage presentation and an extended workshop:
• To What Extent is the UK Private Security Industry Intelligence-Led?
The presentation will explore what is known and assumed about intelligence-led practice across the UK private security industry, examining where key vulnerabilities exist and considering the extent to which intelligence genuinely informs operational activity and decision-making across the sector.
• Understanding Threat and Risk in a Dynamic Environment
This 90-minute workshop will examine how threat and risk assessment is applied dynamically on the ground, including the importance of protective and reactive controls and the influence these have on operational decision-making.
James’ combination of strategic risk expertise and operational experience makes both sessions particularly relevant to professionals working across close protection, security management, intelligence and wider protective operations.
Close Protection World is very pleased to welcome James to this year’s conference and looks forward to the insight and practical experience he will bring to both sessions.
