Who we are — real people, real results
We’re a team of seasoned investigators who understand that behind every case is a person with questions, stress and a need for trusted facts. We combine practical field experience in London with modern digital research methods, working sensitively and professionally so you can make the right decision — based on evidence, not guesswork.
How we can help in London
London is fast, complex and always changing. That’s why we tailor every investigation to the specifics of the city and the people involved. Common requests we handle include:
- Personal investigations – tracing missing persons, conducting discreet surveillance, or investigating concerns about relationships and trust.
- Corporate & employment investigations —employee background checks, fraud inquiries, due diligence and workplace misconduct investigations.
- Legal support — evidence collection for solicitors, witness location, process serving and witness interviewing.
- Asset tracing & recovery — locating assets, debtors or hidden interests within the UK and internationally.
- Insurance & fraud investigations — building a clear picture when claims seem suspicious or inconsistent.
Every investigation is carried out with strict respect for UK law and data protection—so evidence we collect is handled carefully and ethically.
Our approach: practical, personal, professional
We believe the best outcomes come from a straightforward process:
1. Listen first: you explain the situation, we map the realistic options.
2. Plan clearly: we outline what we’ll do, how long it might take, and the likely outcomes.
3. Act discreetly: on-the-ground work in London and digital research are performed with discretion.
4. Report plainly: you receive a clear, usable report with supporting evidence and next-step advice.
We won’t sensationalise your situation — we’ll clarify it.
Why choose a London-based investigator?
