How do we empower our school and university staff without undermining their role as educators, community leaders?

That question drove the creation of Safe by Design, a half-day workshop developed through our work with not-for-profits and volunteer-led initiatives.

“Earn your beret every day…”

A few weeks back, Special Projects Group held a strategy day ahead of launching our LEADER programme

We used it to pressure test ideas, shape our offer and most importantly remind ourselves of a simple truth:
Accountability starts within

#Leader

[Gaz Simpson @GazSimpson10]

Really proud of what we're building at Special Projects Group Ltd.

It's not just a business - it's the result of years spent in the field, learning what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to keeping people safe.

🎤 Speaking at #IFPOLive25 tomorrow!
I'll be diving into how Nonverbal Communication (NVC) boosts threat detection and elevates security ops.

It’s all about mastering what others miss 👀

To those who served, supported & stood side by side—thank you.
Different kit, same mission.

Let’s connect. What we’ve lived has value. Sharing it makes it matter more.

Spring cleaning… anyone else?

Found this patch in a dusty box—slapped on my arm by one of the Afghan Triples at the end of a patrol. No words, just mutual respect.

It got me thinking about what it means to be a veteran.

[Gaz Simpson @GazSimpson10]

The bond between veterans and security professionals goes beyond background, country, or creed. It’s lived. It’s earned.

Now, in training, leadership, or ops—we carry that standard forward.
It’s why we built SPG: grounded in experience, driven by integrity.

Situational awareness saves lives—especially in hospitals. It’s not just for security teams. Staff, patients, visitors… everyone plays a part. Stay alert to what's normal, so you can act fast when it's not. #SituationalAwareness #HealthcareSecurity

[Gaz Simpson @GazSimpson10]

Whether you’re watching a crowd, escorting a client, or just out with your family—your job isn’t to react. It’s to see it coming.

This is your edge.
These red flags? They’re not just quirks. They’re clues.

Still not convinced?
In the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, multiple public reports were made about the attacker’s suspicious behaviour before the blast.

But without ANPA/ANOTA-style systems in place?
Those warnings weren’t acted on.
22 people died.

Ever had that gut feeling something wasn’t right? That’s not paranoia—it’s intuition.

Don’t read this if you’d rather stay blissfully unaware.
This thread might ruin your next train journey, concert, or stroll through an airport.
But it could also save your life 🧵

[Gaz Simpson @GazSimpson10]

We train security professionals, corporates, and everyday people to notice the unnoticed and act early.
If you want to level up your threat detection game, this is where it starts.
