A different kind of company.
Built quietly, on the back of one uncomfortable evening that should have gone differently.
Cavallo was founded in 2014 because the founder spent a single uncomfortable evening at a private event where the security was loud, the staff were under-trained, and a minor incident escalated because nobody on post knew the protocol.
The next morning, he started a different kind of company. One where hospitality training is non-negotiable. Where every shift has a named lead. Where the founder still takes calls from clients who want to talk to the founder.
Today, we work with hotels, private estates, galleries, film productions, and Fortune-500 firms across British Columbia. The mandate hasn't changed. The roster now numbers 180+ officers, a 24/7 dispatch operation in downtown Vancouver, and a leadership team that has been with the company an average of seven years.
We're licensed, bonded, and insured under the British Columbia Security Services Act, certification #BC-2014-0847. We don't franchise. We don't sub-contract post work. Every officer on a Cavallo site is a Cavallo employee.
