15 years safeguarding A-list celebrities and VIPs in London.
Now exclusively serving Marbella and the Costa del Sol.
For 15 years, James protected some of London’s most private clients—A-list celebrities, international sports personalities, and ultra-high-net-worth families who demanded absolute discretion and uncompromising security.
From Knightsbridge townhouses to Mayfair penthouses, James built his reputation creating bespoke security solutions for clients who simply could not afford vulnerability. Every door was custom-engineered. Every detail perfected. Every installation delivered the ultimate peace of mind.
Now calling Marbella home, James has brought that proven expertise to the Costa del Sol, establishing Escura to serve the coast’s most exceptional properties with the same white-glove service and uncompromising quality his London clients trusted for over a decade.
“After 15 years protecting the UK’s most high-profile homes, I wanted to bring that level of craftsmanship and discretion to where I now live. Every door tells a story—yours should be about beauty, security, and absolute peace of mind.”
Recent months have exposed an uncomfortable truth: luxury properties across the Costa del Sol are being targeted with increasing sophistication.
