As the Founder and CEO of Mi5Star International, Jon has set a new benchmark for tailored security and lifestyle services that prioritise discretion, trust, and operational excellence.

Jon’s career began with elite military training and evolved into a distinguished role as a Specialist Police Firearms Officer in the United Kingdom, where he led and executed complex tactical operations. His exceptional skills and leadership earned him the prestigious appointment as a Protection Officer to members of the British Royal Family on the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, where he operated at the highest levels of discretion and strategic oversight. His service was formally recognised by the Royal Household, UK policing authority and The Crown Court.

Following his decorated public service, Jon transitioned into the private sector, bringing his expertise to the luxury hospitality industry. He played a key role in developing risk and operations strategies for globally renowned hotel brands including Hilton and Hyatt, seamlessly integrating elevated guest experiences with uncompromising safety and service standards.

Drawing on this rare combination of elite security knowledge and luxury brand understanding, Jon founded Mi5Star International—a firm purpose-built to support clients who demand absolute confidence, privacy, and precision in every aspect of their lifestyle.

Every service is tailored, every detail considered, and every client treated with the utmost discretion and care.

With a personal passion for supercars and elite travel, Jon also oversees Mi5Star’s high-performance automotive division—curating bespoke driving experiences, managing rare vehicle collections, and ensuring each asset is safeguarded to the highest standard.
