Why should I join red24?
In today's uncertain world, individuals and businesses face an increasingly diverse range of threats from a wide-variety of sources. red24, with unrivalled security expertise, a high-quality customer service ethos, a multi-lingual capability and a global network of consultants, helps keep you, your family and your employees safe wherever they are, 24 hours a day.
Are your services just UK-based?
No, red24 is there to safeguard you, your family or your employees around the world. Our security team and our network of 400 strategically placed security experts are ready to be deployed to you within 24 hours should the need arise. Our multidisciplinary staff and consultants all have substantial experience and considerable knowledge of their operating regions. The breadth of our skills and the depth of our experience enable red24 to select the team with the most appropriate skill set to resolve your crisis in the shortest time possible.
Don't the emergency services already provide security advice and assistance?
This kind of help and protection is offered in varying degrees by emergency services around the world. However, there are frequently occasions when incidents involving personal security are outside the scope of the emergency services and as a result, many of our clients rely on their red24 membership and our highly experienced security personnel to support them in difficult situations.
If I am in trouble abroad, why should I contact red24 and not my embassy?
You should contact both. Your embassy always has an important role to play when things go wrong overseas. However, we differ from them in the following ways:
- Our interests are for the member and their family; your embassy has political considerations. We are dedicated to you and offer impartial advice and assistance.
- In the event of a major disaster, our focus is purely on the member and their dependents.
- Our network of global security consultants enables us to choose the best consultant or team for your response. This is a luxury that your embassy will not have.
Why do I need red24 membership as well as travel insurance?
Travel insurance provides excellent protection for all matters related to your travel arrangements or should you become ill while travelling. However, red24 membership will enhance this cover by providing further protection for your safety and security.
Also, travel insurance tends to be offered with a number of caveats and exclusions. For example, terrorism is often excluded. red24 membership should be regarded as an addition to your basic travel insurance, to cover you, your family or your employees in the event of security or safety crises.
