New partner in the ranks.

Welcome to 🫡.

Built by a former sniper who couldn’t find apparel that actually represented his craft — so he made it himself. T-shirts, hoodies, hats, flags. Gear that means something to the people wearing it.

The name comes from the trade. The trace is the visible trail a bullet leaves as it cuts through the air. Seen only by trained eyes.

That’s the kind of brand we want in the store. Ops Con members get 10% off when they shop The Trace through theopscon.com.

The Ops Con, explained.

Leaving service is strange. Exciting one day, terrifying the next.

For years you’ve known exactly who you are and what you’re doing at 0600 tomorrow. Then it’s gone. And everyone expects you to just crack on.

Close protection. Executive driving. Security and risk management. Real careers, in demand worldwide. But there’s no map, no handover, no one walking the route with you.

So we built The Ops Con. Accredited training. A jobs board. Funding support. A global partner network. One platform, run by people who’ve made the move themselves.

Your service shaped who you are. What comes next is yours to take.

We’ve done the recce. You make the move.

A first for us.

Our HQ hosted its first partner-to-partner training day. delivered their Behavioural Detection Awareness (BDA) course to the team at Minimal Risk Consultancy, with practical exercises out in Battersea Power Station itself.

We hosted. Our partners did the rest.

Exactly what we built this for. The first of many.

The Ops Con partner store is packed with brands founded by veterans and blue light professionals who’ve taken their experience, values, and work ethic beyond service and built something of their own.

From coffee and ci**rs to whisky, medical supplies, apparel, and operational essentials, these are businesses rooted in the community and we’re proud to support every one of them.

We’re proud to back brands that share our ethos and support the wider community beyond service.

💥 Members also unlock exclusive discounts across selected partner products.

If you run a veteran or blue light owned brand and would like to become part of the network, we’d love to hear from you.
