Rubicon International Services

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On October 28, 2005 Aegis Defence Services acquired Rubicon International Services Ltd, a longstanding British provider of corporate and otherwise executive private security services. The public announcement was made on November 4, 2005. John Davidson, Managing Director of Rubicon, joined the AEGIS board and assumed the appointment of Director of Operations.

The other shareholder was Paddy Nicoll who sold his security systems consultancy, Diplomatic Protection Ltd, to Rubicon in 2000. Paddy Nicoll retired from the Army in 1996, having served eight years mainly with The Black Watch, during which time he became a Jungle Warfare Instructor and trained with the US Marine Corps in helicopter insertion techniques. His career took him on three tours of Northern Ireland and operations in Iraq, Mozambique, Indonesia, Central America and Borneo.
