Breach of Contract, Breach of Trust...


They have been a loyal servant to the company and have performed well bringing in new business and expanding the companies order books.

Is it worth the paper its written on?
Then you find out they are looking to go elsewhere and ply their trade. No problem you think, if they can do better elsewhere good luck to them.

Then you find out they have not only left to set up a rival business or worse, join a competitor, but they are seeking to take your clients and even some of your staff with them.

What can you do?

Do You Have Staff Stealing?

In these difficult times it is no comfort for business owners whatever their size to suspect that an employee is taking advantage of their position and helping themselves to company property.

UK companies lose an estimated £3 billion pounds worth of stock each year through employee internal theft. Not only is it a dilemma for an employer to identify who is responsible, but it can also be problematic in dealing with their suspicions in a fair and lawful manner.

Fighting for Justice

As investigators we regularly get called upon to assist in criminal defence matters....


In an era of public spending cut backs and reductions in police numbers it is no surprise that the effectiveness of the police service will suffer.
We have seen first hand evidence of these "efficiency savings" after being instructed to assist private clients establish their innocence following being prosecuted for offences such as murder, sexual assault and rape.
We found in most cases, that not only did the police fail to carry out some basic investigative procedures, but those that they did complete were able to be questioned and doubts cast upon their credibility when challenged in court.

Why We Are So Successful At Finding People..

we are experts at finding people
People go missing for a number of reasons, some are explainable, and others are never known only by the person who chooses to walk away from their current existence.
With the powerful tool that is the internet, a proportion of missing people can be found by focused and tenacious perseverance if you know where to look and use the information you already possess in a methodical and systematic way.

Covert cameras are not just for security....

Nowadays covert cameras come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, with no limit to where they can be fitted. There uses are equally as varied.

As part of our investigation strategies into theft in the workplace, we regularly use covert cameras for monitoring a particular location or observing people and staff that are suspected of some sort of illicit behaviour.

Listening Devices & Hidden Cameras - Are We Just Being Paranoid?

Over the past few years we have seen a 40% increase in demand for our bug detector service.

This increase in clients wanting to know if their premises are being bugged is due mainly to the availability of low cost highly effective covert devices such as hidden cameras that can be as small as a pin head, and listening devices that can be installed in furniture, mobile phones and electrical appliances, and vehicle trackers that are as small as a box of matches but provide pinpoint accuracy.
