On 12 March, award-winning luxury lifestyle magazine Tempus hosted the inaugural Tempus Concierge Event in partnership with boutique security specialists, Valkyrie, at the IBV International Vaults London. More than 50 guests from London's most prestigious family offices, private concierges and luxury brand specialists gathered at IBV's UK headquarters – the historic Stanhope House on London's Park Lane – for a vibrant networking evening, with Valkyrie on hand to discuss the latest trends in HNW physical and cyber security.

Guests were delighted by demonstrations of just some of the technical equipment used by criminals, exhibited by Valkyrie's team of security experts, before touring the sophisticated vaults below ground. Refreshments included champagne and canapes provided by The Dorchester, which were enjoyed by guests as conversation flowed upstairs.

‍

"We are delighted to welcome [our guests] to the IBV International Vaults London to celebrate our first Tempus Concierge Event, designed to showcase the fantastic brands and essential services available to high-net-worth individuals,” said Tempus Editor-in-Chief Michelle Johnson. "I'm thrilled to launch this event in partnership with Valkyrie, serving affluent individuals, enterprises and governments with the most high-tech – and holistic – security measures."

‍

Valkyrie, a Quantum Group company, is a boutique security and investigations company specialising in physical and digital security, cyber resilience and expert crisis response in the face of real and emerging threats. Its holistic approach encompasses services from technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) and cyber security to crisis management and complex investigations for individuals, companies and government bodies.

‍

"It's never been more important for HNWs and their trusted advisors to identify where their security may be exposed. Criminals are increasingly sophisticated, constantly refining both their technical capabilities and physical methods of attack," said Valkyrie's Managing Director David Webb. "Partnering with Tempus allowed us to spotlight these evolving threats and raise awareness around building a more secure, resilient environment – whether in business, at home or while travelling."

‍

IBV International Vaults offers state-of-the-art security to 40,000 members in global locations including South Africa, Switzerland and Dubai. Its London headquarters was founded in 2020 to offer a range of Secure Safe Custody Vaults for customers' treasured possessions and vital documents in the heart of Mayfair, as well as bullion trading and a members' Wealth Club, launched in 2025.

‍

Sean Hoey, IBV International Vaults London's Managing Director, said of the event: "It was a pleasure to welcome Tempus and Valkyrie for the first Tempus Concierge Event. Although our vaults rest in a historic building – one of the original Park Lane houses, in fact – our Secure Safe Custody Vaults utilise cutting-edge security, making this the perfect location to showcase where high-tech security and luxury lifestyle meet."

‍

Guests departed with gift bags that included Valkyries Security Passport – featuring vital tips to stay secure – along with scented candles and room sprays from Aromaria, Maison Louis Marie and One&Only, skincare from Clean Beauty Club, and, of course, the latest issue of Tempus, published by Vantage Media.
