Jade Miller: Twenty-six years protecting other people. No regiment, no rulebook, and a rejection letter to start with.

Twenty-six years protecting other people. No regiment, no rulebook, and a rejection letter to start with.

For twenty-six years, Jade Miller has been responsible for other people's lives.

She has walked alongside journalists in high-risk environments such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, Lebanon and Libya. She has worked riots, terror attacks and political unrest, and was in Brussels with CNN after the attacks. She spent five months in Syria around the fall of Assad. She has protected celebrities, footballers, media organisations and a Saudi client who sent for her to cover a fortnight and kept her as protection for several years. Today she is Security Director for the season of pop concerts at The Piece Hall in Halifax, which draws around three million visitors a year and becomes one of the country's great music venues every summer.
