History

Originally founded in 2006, in which the head office was located in the capital London, United Kingdom. In 2006 there was post conflict and political instability, social and domestic unrest in many countries globally with limited professional resources to assist military support, government training and consultancy or commercial enterprise in developing or problematic countries.
