Eddie Gilmour built one of the UK's leading luxury security businesses, growing it from a start-up venture into a £9 million operation protecting high-profile clients, luxury retailers, VIPs and valuable assets across the country.

But behind the success lies a story of sacrifice, resilience and relentless determination.

Raised in a tough environment, Eddie joined the Royal Marines before embarking on a distinguished career as a detective, specialising in covert surveillance, organised crime investigations and national security. After nearly two decades in policing, he took the risk of leaving behind a secure career to build a business of his own. The journey was far from easy. The 2008 financial crisis devastated his first venture, forcing him to rebuild from scratch. Years of pressure, financial uncertainty and constant travel took a heavy toll, contributing to two heart attacks while growing the company. Throughout it all, he remained driven by a desire to provide for his family and create something lasting for the next generation.

Today, alongside his son and daughter, Eddie leads a highly respected security business staffed by former Special Forces operators, detectives and security professionals.

As the company enters its next phase of growth, he reflects on entrepreneurship, leadership, family, health, and the lessons learned from spending a lifetime operating in some of the most demanding environments imaginable.

This is the story of Mr Eddie Gilmour.

Every Friday Dodge gets interviewed by Co-Host Mark Masters (You Are The Media).

Dodge and Mark get into owning your relationships in business. Dodge talks about why he's kept the same phone number since 1995, why he's never sent an email in 30 years, and how your phone can open more doors than you think. The difference between chasing attention and building real connections and why your contacts are yours to keep. Practical, honest, and a reminder that the simplest things in business are often the most powerful.

This is Ask Dodge.
