I'm working in the Protection Industry since 2004 looking after members of a Middle Eastern Royal Family.

Everybody in this field know Manrico Erriu, his reputation is getting stronger day by day.

His professional profile arrived to the Family for which I’m working. Two years ago they asked me to get in touch with Manrico because interested in his skills and services. Since that time he is working for them providing excellent services.

He has amazing skills. What impressed me and them from the first time is his way of dealing with high-profile people and clients, his professionalism and  his respect for people of different countries and cultures are above average.

He has shown me the highest tactical skills.

I’m proud to have worked together to him.

For these reasons, it is without reservation that I recommend Manrico Erriu to any organization seeking a positive contributor possessing these capabilities.

Sincerely,

Major  D. B.

Counter-Terrorism Instructor at a Special Forces Unit

This is a letter of recommendation for Mr. Manrico Erriu. I have known Manrico for two years (from 2012). At the time we began working together, I was coordinator of delivery of Firearms Trainig for Private Security Sector and Manrico was the key instructor.

Manrico has a unique ability to work hard and professional, sharing his experience with the trainees. He worked excellent with all team members, achieving high level of interoperability and combat team efficiency.  Manrico Erriu is highly organized, disciplined, and results oriented combat instructor.

A lot of his professional skills I was able to implement improving the combat training of Bulgarian military advisor teams (MATs) involved in “hottest” areas of ISAF (International Security Assistance Forces Afghanistan) security operations in Kabul and Kandahar.

An ancient wisdom says:

“If we look at each 100 soldiers in the battle place, we will see that 80 of them are targets, 10 must not be there at all, 9 are fighters (and we have to be thankful, because they are important in the battle) and there is another 1 - the Real Warrior, who will provide all the rest soldiers to get back home alive after the battle.”

In my opinion this is the professional profile of Manrico – he is born Real Warrior!

I would highly recommend Manrico Erriu as a highly motivated and qualified professional specialist with experience in all aspects of providing of security training including counter terrorism, close protection, close combat, and firearms training.

Sincerely,

Colonel. PhD K. K.
