ZeroRisk - Making Money Matter Podcast
Posted on November 7th, 2024 in International Security, Zero Risk-The Book, Global Travel Risk Management by Tony Loughran
Kerry Stevenson, from Making Money Matter Podcast spoke with Tony Loughran, Director of ZeroRisk International about Keeping others safe in an increasingly dangerous world, at IMARC, Sydney on Nov 5, 2024.
I sat down with Tony Loughran, Founder of ZeroRisk International to talk about why we all need to be aware of an increasingly crazy world and how we can mitigate those risks. He has a very cool app that you can use as well.
Tony Loughran's life has been all about risk – taking it, preventing it. He survived a tough childhood in working-class Liverpool, then joined the navy, where he excelled. Next came a career as an elite commando medic, a demanding role that required doctor-level training. He dealt with serious physical injury and a stint in Belfast left him with psychological scars.
His life changed when he took responsibility for safety and security at the BBC. In his years with the world-famous broadcaster, Mr D and D, Death and Destruction, as he became known, revolutionised the protective gear and strategies used by foreign correspondents and introduced ground-breaking training that has saved many lives. Among much else, he provided the security for the notorious Martin Bashir interview with Princess Diana and protected Panorama journalists in Northern Ireland.
Then came a new life in Australia and the establishment of his own security consultancy company, ZeroRisk International. The work is always challenging: investigating the deaths of well-known journalist John Schofield and cameraman Nazeh Darwazeh, escaping when he himself came extremely close to being captured in Kabul, advising media during the Lindt Café siege and getting people out of Afghanistan when the Taliban returned.
