Sounds like a great opportunity for the guys across the pond. Please note that this company is seeking ‘former members of the British armed forces’. It is also nice to see the company will be fielding positions that are ‘armed’ as well.
I am not the POC or the recruiter for this job, and please follow the blue links below in order to apply. The company also provided phone numbers and emails for contact info if you want. Good luck. –Matt

Have you heard anything good or bad about them?

I have not heard anything about them; I am the only person I have ever met that knew about them.
They placed an add in the Washington Post and I sent them my resume, about a week later I interviewed with them in Norfolk VA. Like a week after then I got offered a gig in the Middle East so I took it, and a month later they sent me a letter about the gig. I called then and told them I was already working overseas.
The gig was working security on ships with Nepali guys and at ports; it looked like a cool gig.
I will say this – they were very professional, the guy who interviewed me was an ex-SAS dude that was way cool and laid back, they always returned my calls and kept in contact right up until the end.
They also had the nicest Stationary I have ever seen in my life, embossed company seal with gold foil directly pressed into the seal, thick parchment like paper, hand typed and signed – I still have it somewhere because it was the nicest offer letter I have ever seen

I just remembered – about a year or two after then I called them back and asked them if they were still hiring, the lady I spoke to (the ex-SAS guy wasn’t working for them anymore) said they were getting away from onboard security and were concentrating on port security contracts in the US. But that was like 9-10 years ago, I guess because of the rise in piracy in Africa they have gotten back into it.

Thanks for the feedback James. That is pretty interesting. Hopefully someone from the company can add to the conversation.
