Phoenix CP or Phoenix Close Protection to give it its full title was a Hereford based security firm created by two former members of 22 SAS, Michael Clifford and James Devenney. In 2005 along with co-owner Suzanne Clifford, the pair sold Phoenix for £4.25m to mercenary firm ArmorGroup which was attempting 'to diversify its revenue streams outside of its operations in Iraq'.[1]
According to its own website Phoenix personnel had 'backgrounds in 22-SAS and 14 Intelligence', two of the most secretive and controversial units of the British Army.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
