History[]
Norrich Universal Bodyguards (NUB) was an exclusively female protective service agency, founded approximately five years before the events of Nobody Lives for Ever. In that time NUB had established branches in London, Paris, Rome, Los Angeles and New York. The organisation was a well kept secret within the close-knit circles of the ultra-rich and gained business with its distinguished clientèle purely via word-of-mouth; never publicly advertising its services. Its professional operatives were highly trained in weaponry, karate, all the martial arts, driving, flying etc. Among the agency's clients were the Principessa Sukie Tempesta and the criminal organisation, SPECTRE. Nannette Norrich would later enter SPECTRE's "Head Hunt" competition as a freelancer. Put on a retainer, she stood to get a percentage of the prize money if she brought James Bond to their base of operations for execution. She was presumed killed during the conclusion of the competition. Her company's fate is unknown.
