Justin is a highly experienced risk management and security consultant. He has travelled to and worked in many challenging countries, including Libya, Sudan, Burma, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Colombia, Lebanon, Syria and Morocco.

In Iraq, Justin established the Aegis Foundation and launched the world’s first outreach programme operated by a security company (2004-06), a nationwide civil affairs programme that aimed to assist the innocent victims of conflict by providing urgent assistance to schools, universities, hospitals, community centres, sports clubs, museums and other organisations. As well as funding and organising public information campaigns promoting reconciliation, the programme included inoculations against water-borne diseases and highly effective projects providing schools and communities with clean drinking water – see aegis-foundation.org.

More recently, Justin has returned from a summer in Darfur working with the joint UN-African Union peacekeeping mission headquartered in Al Fasher where, among other things, he helped organise an equestrian and cultural festival designed to bring the warring tribes of Darfur together to discuss and resolve their differences. He has written about the experience in the FT, Spectator and Standpoint – see albanyassociates.com.
