Dennie Harnetty

Dennie is the Founder and Director of HD Group-Global. He has worked within the security industry for over 14 years, 10 of which have been involved in various international protection projects. He has provided protection to some of the world’s most prestigious individuals and specialises in travel risk management. Dennie has operated in over 50 countries across five continents and has strategically planned and completed countless successful global security assignments.

Dennie’s wealth of experience allowed him to identify a fundamental gap in the safety and well-being of clients provided by all other conventional security companies. His insight into the risk of not integrating highly skilled medical support into security services pushed him to employ an elite medical team to work alongside his expert security personnel. Bridging this gap has made HD Group-Global the only company internationally to provide such a comprehensive package of care, with health and security in mind for all its clients.

Dennie holds a deep understanding of the logistics surrounding high-profile clientele. Bringing to the table genuine real-world experience and believing in a safe, professional low-profile approach, Dennie has ensured these values are instilled into HD Group-Global operatives when protecting various VVIPs, including Royalty, Heads of State, ultra-high-net-worth business personnel and A-list celebrities. For the past four years, Dennie has been heavily involved in providing security to a Forbes top 10 CEO and family.

Dennie is a dual graduate of the world-renowned “Ronin Course” in Cape Town, South Africa. He completed the Close Protection Course in 2012 and returned ten years later to complete the First Response Emergency Care Level 5 Medical Course. In addition, Dennie is also working towards becoming a qualified paramedic.
