From War Room to Board Room: UK Private Security Companies Take Charge of Post-conflict Stabilisation
Add bookmarkIn our first interview with the head of a British private security company, we explore the roughly charted waters of military style operations taken on by the private sector. Chris Rafferty speaks frankly about the challenges that service personnel face in Afghanistan and the gaps which close protection operatives fill. The benefits appear above average, but so do the costs. Chris opens up about personal loss in his line of work and the challenges of getting the right kit, as well as working for the right company.
Chris Rafferty is the Managing Director of Rafferty Associates Ltd, based in London.
