DUE DILIGENCE CHECKS: A PRE-INVESTIGATION NECESSITY

Surmount Investigations complete extensive due diligence checks before taking on any operation for any of our services so that we have the certainty and confidence that you are exactly who you say you are and that your request for us to complete an investigation and/or surveillance has a lawful basis or a legitimate purpose.

Where possible we will always endeavour to try and meet with a prospective client face-to-face as part of our free consultation service. If this is not possible we will ask for some photographic ID to be provided to us so we have confirmation of who we are dealing with along with why.

HOW WE CATCH CHEATING PARTNERS

Our Newcastle-based client had been with his partner for over fifteen years but came to us concerned about their behaviour.

She claimed to have received a promotion from work that meant she had to do longer hours now and she only ever seemed to use her work phone of an evening which was ‘fingerprint-locked’ and always vibrating causing her to get up and leave the room when it did. On top of that, their sex life had decreased and she seemed perpetually irritated by him. Read more about HOW WE CATCH CHEATING PARTNERS …

‘ANOTHER’ DAY IN THE LIFE OF SURMOUNT INVESTIGATIONS

Back in April this year we posted one of our most popular blog entries, which was a breakdown of a ‘day in the life’ of an investigator within the Surmount Investigations team.

We did that because we’re so often told how ‘exciting’ our job must be as PIs and asked what a typical day is like for a private investigator and in truth, no two days are often the same and we frequently break our days into different facets:

We have ‘Operational’ days, where we are out on the ground completing surveillance or investigative enquiries.

We have what we call ‘Paper’ days, where we are office based completing electronic enquiries or putting together the required paperwork for future process serves, due diligence on upcoming jobs and the like.

For this week’s blog we thought we’d dip back into the diary and show another day in the life of an investigator at Surmount: Read more about ‘ANOTHER’ DAY IN THE LIFE OF SURMOUNT INVESTIGATIONS …
