15 Years Protecting the World’s Most Private Clients

Meet James

For over a decade, James has been the trusted security specialist for clients who simply cannot afford vulnerability—A-list celebrities, international sports icons, and ultra-high-net-worth families across London and the United Kingdom.

2009-2024

The London Years

James established his reputation in London’s most prestigious postcodes—Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Kensington, Chelsea, Belgravia. When privacy matters and security cannot fail, these are the clients who called James.

The Challenge

Create bespoke security solutions for high-profile individuals where:

  • Standard security systems are insufficient
  • Discretion is absolutely non-negotiable
  • Design cannot be compromised for protection
  • Media attention makes vulnerability unacceptable
  • Family safety depends on proven expertise

The Solution

Every project custom-engineered from the ground up. No catalogue products. No standard answers. Just proven protection delivered with complete discretion.

Over 15 years, James protected some of the UK’s most exceptional properties—from historic townhouses requiring listed building compliance to ultra-modern penthouses demanding invisible security integration.

His client list included

  • International entertainers and performers
  • Professional athletes and sports personalities
  • Business leaders and entrepreneurs
  • Diplomatic and government officials
  • Royal family connections
  • Ultra-high-net-worth families

(Client confidentiality prevents specific disclosure—exactly as it should be.)

Why Clients Trusted James

Proven Expertise

15 years focusing exclusively on luxury security solutions. When you do one thing for elite clients over that timespan, you perfect it.

Absolute Discretion

High-profile clients demand confidentiality. James built his reputation on discretion—installations completed quietly, professionally, without fanfare.

Design-First Approach

James understood what other security providers missed: beauty and protection aren’t mutually exclusive. Start with architecture, engineer in security.

Bespoke Craftsmanship

Every door unique. Every installation custom. Every detail specified by the client. No compromises, no standard solutions.

White-Glove Service

From first consultation to lifetime support, James delivered the personalized attention elite clients expect—and rarely receive.

2024

The Move to Marbella

After 15 years in London, James made the Costa del Sol his permanent home. The lifestyle, the climate, the Mediterranean culture—Marbella offered everything he’d been seeking.

 

But he also recognized something else: the Costa del Sol’s luxury property owners faced the same security challenges as his London clients, but with fewer proven solutions available.

 

Standard alarm companies offered generic products. Security door suppliers provided catalogue options. But true bespoke security—engineered specifically for each property, delivered with discretion and expertise?

That was missing.

2025

Establishing Escura

James founded Escura to bring his London expertise to his new home. The name reflects his philosophy:

Escura – Derived from “secure” and “oscuro” (Spanish for dark/hidden)—security that protects while remaining invisible.

 

Based in Marbella, Escura serves the entire Costa del Sol with the same uncompromising standards James applied in London:

Every installation fully bespoke

Security designed around architecture, not forced into it

Complete client confidentiality

European engineering and premium materials

White-glove service from consultation through lifetime support

The difference? Now James serves clients in the place he loves most, protecting properties on the coast where he’s chosen to live.

James’s Philosophy

“After 15 years protecting London’s most high-profile homes, I learned that true security isn’t about intimidation—it’s about intelligence. The best protection is invisible until it’s needed.

 

I’ve seen too many beautiful properties ruined by industrial-looking security systems. Bars on windows. Heavy fortress doors. Visible alarms everywhere.

 

That approach fails on two levels: it compromises design, and it advertises vulnerability.

 

Real security should enhance your property’s beauty while providing absolute protection. It should give you peace of mind without announcing your concerns to the world.

 

Every door tells a story. Yours should be about confidence, elegance, and the quiet certainty that your family and property are protected by the same standards I’ve applied to the world’s most demanding clients.”
