Spear’s Review

Kate Bright, founder and leader of team UMBRA, is the approachable and personable face of a team of security professionals drawn from a great variety of backgrounds including the military, government protection, customer service specialists, the law and finance.

Bright’s own experience in family offices and security gives her a unique perspective on the requirements of her high- and ultra-high-net-worth clients. UMBRA has developed a specialism in what they call invisible security and secure lifestyle, prioritising their customers’ feeling of wellbeing as well as ensuring that they are never at risk physically.

Staff provision and vetting is a speciality, as is crisis management, all with family offices as the core client base.
