Arish Turle is a former SAS officer.

According to Duncan Campbell, Turle was posted to 21 SAS to take part in the British covert operation in Yemen during the 1960s.[1]

Tony Geraghty's Guns for Hire reports that Turle was recruited to join Control Risks Group by David Walker during his tenure as Managing Director in 1974-75.[2]

Turle and Simon Adams-Dale were arrested in Colombia in 1977, while negotiating the release of George Curtis, president of Beatrice Foods of America. According to Geraghty, they used their 10 weeks' incarceration to rewrite Control Risks' standard operational procedures.[3]

In their 1983 book British Intelligence and Covert Action, Jonathan Bloch and Patrick Fitzgerald report that Turle was managing director of Control Risks Group at the time of writing.[4]

Turle later left Control Risks for Kroll Associates.[5]

According to Spear's Magazine, Turle led a mass defection of employees from Kroll's London office in 1997 to set up the Risk Advisory Group.[6]
