Does anybody here know anything about these guys, good, bad, or indifferent? Looks like they're hiring for ship security (anti-pirate duty, aaaarrr, matey) in Spain:

Thanks in advance for any perspectives anybody has on this company.

Never heard of them. I have however carried out years worth of projects with Hart Security, Saladin Security, G4S Security etc... All English companies that offer VERY credible service of that ilk. However, they almost exclusivly draw employees from former SAS/US Special ops, Brit and US intel agencies. Every then and again I see some South Af and Kiwis around though.

Thanks for the feedback, Fulanito. FYI, CP and Martime is actually registered in the Seychelles, even though they have "UK" in their name.

I think perhaps Gabe's primary experience is in Almeria, Spain. Not far from where you may visit but right on the Med. Sea. I have been to Almeria and Valencia (which bookend your planned travel). Both are places I love.

Yeah that works well especially for UK companies that go off=shore. This way they avoid giving away 40% of their profits...AND get to work with a more pliable legal schematic. Many UK "based" Security Companies also have moved to Guernsey for the same reasons.

Well, shit, now it looks like the Muslim Brotherhood hadjis have thrown a wrench in my trip plans, at least the business side of it:

Well, in the spirit of the Warrior Bon Vivant, I'm still going to do my damndest to enjoy the touristy aspects of the trip, assuming <knock on wood> that my prospective employer will still provide the training and foot the bill for the flight from the UK to Spain, Egyptian political machinations notwithstanding.
