Craig Poole
Craig was born and raised in the highlands of Scotland. His passion and talent for all things ‘sport and fitness’ became evident at a young age when he became national cross-country champion at the age of 12. He continued competing throughout high school, winning 10 national titles, and representing Scotland at international level. He joined the Royal Air Force at age 19 as a Physical Training Instructor and began a lifelong obsession with fitness and wellbeing. He then, in pursuit of entering the elite elements of the UK military, transferred to the Marines and attended Commando training – earning the prestigious Kings Badge and his green beret. Craig conducted multiple combat deployments to the Middle East, in charge of teams of up to twenty commandos and was awarded numerous commendations for his service and actions. While serving, he earned his bachelor’s degree in business & enterprise from Edinburgh Napier University, earning the University Academic Medal for placing top of his cohort. Upon leaving the military, Craig worked in the security industry in various leadership roles before entering the world of Executive Protection where he has safeguarded the lives, reputations, and assets of multiple UHNWI and public figures. He has created, trained, developed, and run several protection details across the globe. Recently, he started his own Protection Company and is ‘enjoying’ the stresses of entrepreneurship. Craig spends his spare time with his two young boys and wife exploring the US.
