Who is behind this

There is no call centre behind this consultancy. There is professional judgement built over decades of public service in the security field, with training in criminology and law, and a specific way of working: studying each case properly, saying no when a file has no realistic path, and explaining things clearly — in English, Russian or Ukrainian too. Enquiries are answered personally, usually within one or two working days. If you write on a Sunday, you'll normally hear back on Monday.
