Kate Bright

Spear’s Review

Kate Bright, founder and CEO of 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, the law and finance.

Bright’s own experience in family offices and security gives her a unique perspective on the requirements of her HNW and UHNW clients. UMBRA has developed a specialism in what they call invisible security and ‘secure lifestyle’, prioritising their customers’ feelings of well-being 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.
