"Surveillance was needed to check if my daughter was being cared for properly whilst i wasn't around or if she was being neglected. The Private detective was very good in what he did. Very discreet with the task in hand and excellent footage and reports received at the end of the task, which are perfect to use in court. Would recommend them to everyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Helped me trace a tradesman who took my money to do a job he never turned up to. The company changed their phone number and all contact details so I couldn't get in touch. The private detective team did an excellent job in finding the builder for me.  Highly recommend them.
