Case Study: World Tire Company achieves safe expatriate operations in Ghana with Everbridge close protection

Close protection for a national expatriate

World Tire Company, a global tire leader operating in multiple regions, faced a serious duty-of-care challenge when a French expatriate managing its African operations in Accra, Ghana, was accused of bribery and received personal threats. After an internal investigation found no wrongdoing and identified the threats as politically motivated, the company turned to Everbridge for protection.

Everbridge provided executive protection services, including close protection officers, trained drivers, low-profile vehicles, and overnight security at the family residence. With Everbridge’s 24/7 support, World Tire Company maintained safe operations in Accra for four months, allowed the executive to complete his assignment safely, and protected his family throughout the assignment.
