Contacted PIUK for a time sensitive matter, spoke to a lovley chap called john who offered me the best advice in regards to my dilemma. Over the moon with the quality of detective work carried out, can't thank them enough. Highly recommend to all👌Posted on Google Mr AutomatticianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I suspected my spouse of infidelity, I turned to John for help. His investigation was conducted with utmost discretion and sensitivity. The evidence he provided was clear and indisputable. While the truth was painful, it was necessary for me to move forward. John's support and professionalism throughout the process were invaluable. He truly understands the emotional aspect of such cases.Posted on Google marta mendelssonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Answering your answer, a big 😂🤣. I am sure you thought it was a case of a man with two identities; a big detective's case like in the films! 😎 One in a life time! Poor John!. Had it been true what you say, you wouldn't have been hiding, you would have answer my phone calls, emails, messages. Anyway, If anybody is interested, please contact me to show proof. Kind regards (Review: As a detective, a failure. His first report was about a wrong person, John mistook the individual with his brother but, as we could use one single line of his 15 pages report, I gave him a second opportunity. However, instead of doing a good job this time, the detective has done nothing and, what is worse, not only is unable to comply with his contract or to recognize he has not the detective skills and tools needed for the job but has been hiding for the last two weeks. That is to say, as detective a failure and as a person, rubbish.)Posted on Google Kelly SoperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been put in contact with John as I was looking to get a lie detector test in on myself. I was abused as a child and none of my family believed me. 26 years later John has helped me get the closure I so desperately needed to move on with my life and to finally prove I wasn’t a liar. My experience with John was amazing. Obviously I was very nervous about the whole process and having to discuss this with a stranger but he made me feel at ease and was very professional. John was very reassuring and respectful of my situation. The results were almost instant even though I was told it could take a few hours. The test was very professional and easy to do and worth every penny to get the results I’d been seeking for so long. Thank you so much John I highly recommend his servicesPosted on Google Luciano TomlinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
