Terra Firma featured in a recent Economist article.
The following excerpts are taken from the article:
In Venezuela, where the number of abductions is rising, “express kidnappings” are the most common sort, according to the Venezuelan Violence Observatory (OVV), a think-tank based in Caracas.
Terra Firma, a security firm with a branch in the city, has noticed that kidnappings surge every two weeks, when most people get paid their wages, which suggests that the victims are working-class.
Economic hardship is one reason for the persistence of low-rent kidnapping. In Venezuela, where the economy is in a slump and foreign currency is scarce, fewer hostages can pay big-dollar ransoms, says a negotiator from Terra Firma.

We have recently hired a consultant based in South Africa who has extensive experience of security risk management and kidnap response.
We have also added two new Associates in Pakistan (Islamabad & Karachi), one in India and two in the UK. This brings our core advisory team up to twelve exclusively retained consultants and our associate network up to 26 trusted security specialists.
A representative from Terra Firma joined the panel of experts at the Frontline Club discussion on 27 January 2015 on Kidnaps, Ransoms and Media Blackouts, along with Richard Sambrook (Professor of Journalism and Director of the Centre for Journalism at the Cardiff School of Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies), Anthony Lloyd (The Times), Joel Simon ( the executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, Diane Foley (mother of James Foley who was murdered by IS in 2014) and Carl Newns (Head of Media Office and press secretary to the Foreign Secretary at the FCO).
