Dean Stott

Head of Task Force

Dean Stott is the Head of Task Force at Blue Rose Circle and a distinguished former member of the Special Boat Service (SBS). His military career, marked by resilience and excellence, was cut short by a parachuting accident. Undeterred, Dean transitioned into the private security sector, where he built a reputation for handling some of the world’s most dangerous assignments. From managing kidnappings and navigating civil wars to evacuating high-risk sites like the Canadian Embassy in Libya, Dean’s expertise in security is unparalleled.

A record-breaking explorer and sought-after motivational speaker, Dean continues to live by the Special Forces ethos: “The Unrelenting Pursuit of Excellence.” In recognition of his services to sport, humanitarian efforts, and mental health advocacy, he was awarded the Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) by King Charles III. Dean’s commitment to courage, leadership, and humanitarian work makes him a key asset to the Blue Rose Circle’s mission.
