• Tracing debtors  
  We have a good success rate at locating debtors. Our enquiries are always discreet and we can usually locate the debtor without alerting them. 
  
  
• Insurance investigation 
  We investigate claims made for personal injury; motor claims; property damage; and theft of property. Our investigative services are offered to the plaintiff and to the defendant in matters of insurance claims.

• Employer's liability
  Where an employee is claiming personal injury , we can validate the authenticity of a claim. When there are reasons to suspect that a claim might be fraudulent, we will carry out further surveillance on the claimant to establish if their alleged injury is genuine, exaggerated, or a complete fabrication.
  
  If an employer is facing litigation from an employee claiming unfair dismissal, we can investigate and seek evidence in support of the employer's position in the matter. Over the years, we have had numerous successes in preventing employers from becoming the victims of vexatious claims made against them.

• Commercial and business matters
  There are many problems that can arise within the commercial sectors of business. We investigate theft of monies , stock and materials. Where employees are on extended sick leave from work, we can discretely validate their claim that they are unfit for work by carrying out discreet surveillance.
  
  Where it is suspected that an employee is involved in some actions that might bring a business into disrepute, we will carry out discreet enquiries and surveillance in support of any potential dismissal proceedings that an employer might wish to consider.

• Family matters
  Our experienced personnel have the skill and tact to handle sensitive and confidential instructions relating to family matters . In the financial discovery process within divorce proceedings, where one party is denying that they own or have assets, we can investigate the circumstances and aim to provide evidence to the contrary.
