About Us
Who are Blue Dot:
We are a tightly knit team that combines a wealth of military and journalistic knowledge with current relevant experience of working and travelling in hostile environments.
What sets us apart from our competitors is that we are a company solely geared towards safety training from a peaceful and ethical perspective.
We don’t train bodyguards, we can’t provide armed response but what we can do is train our clients to become self-sufficient and assess and mitigate risk so that they can operate effectively in the harshest of environments.
Why blue dot:
blue dot represents two key ideas which have inspired our ethos:
The journalist or aid worker in their body armour; a blue dot in the landscape often surrounded by a sea of green (the military) risking their life to report the truth and help those in crisis.
Carl Sagan's interpretation of the Voyager I image of "that pale blue dot, the only home we have ever known" and our collective responsibility to "deal more compassionately with one another to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot", spearheaded by people such as journalists and aid workers.
In essence, that pale blue dot, whether it is a journalist in a war zone or our fragile earth, needs all the help it can get, and that is where we come in.
