Last week’s Beaufort Investor Forum brought together an impressive mix of investors, entrepreneurs and industry leaders for an evening of insight, connection and forward thinking.
Valkyrie were proud to attend, represented by Gurpreet Thathy and Matthew Newton, who showcased our core services — including Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) — and demonstrated how our multi-disciplinary team supports clients with sensitive, complex and high-stakes challenges. Floyd Woodrow (Quantum Group CEO, & Valkyrie Chairman) and James Radford (Volopa CEO) presented on the next phase of the Group’s growth — outlining bold developments and pioneering opportunities.
The forum provided valuable face-to-face engagement with those who recognise that security is now very much a boardroom issue. In a landscape shaped by escalating cyber threats, geopolitical volatility and reputational exposure, security can no longer be treated as an afterthought — it must be embedded from the outset.
We were encouraged by the strong interest in Valkyrie’s capabilities and the shared understanding that physical, technical and cyber security are essential foundations for sustainable growth and long-term value.
At Valkyrie, we pride ourselves on being complex problem solvers — combining strategic foresight with operational expertise and precise, tactical delivery. We help clients anticipate risk, strengthen resilience and remain ready in an increasingly unpredictable world.
Key takeaways from the evening:
– Security is now firmly on the boardroom agenda, with investors and founders prioritising integrated strategies that address physical, digital and reputational risk from day one.
– Technical threats such as surveillance, data compromise and IP theft are increasingly recognised as critical vulnerabilities — requiring proactive, specialist countermeasures.
– Businesses are seeking trusted partners with the judgement and capability to advise at the highest strategic level, support operational execution, and deliver tactical solutions — not just service providers, but strategic allies.
Thank you to Beaufort Private Equity for hosting a well-curated and forward-looking event, and to all those who took the time to connect with Valkyrie
