A client came to us concerned about the behaviour of his long-term partner and the mother of his children. They had been together for over fifteen years, had a home together but things had felt ‘off’ for a while.

Their sex life had decreased, 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.

He had grown suspicious that there was someone else in her life. He had tried and failed to carry out his own enquiries but each time he said his partner would catch him out, accuse him of being “too possessive” and said his “paranoia was driving [her] away”. He engaged our services and told us he just ‘had’ to know once and for all if there was anything to his worries.

We carried out a free consultation with the client, gathered intelligence about his partner’s movements and were all set to begin surveillance and investigation into her movements – when she announced to our client that she was having to “go away” for four days with work for a conference. She was very sketchy about the details of where she was staying exactly, just that it was “down in Yorkshire”. All she left the client with was a telephone number, telling him that the reception was bad “down there” so she might not be able to answer her mobile phone.

It took seconds for us to get the phone number to reveal which hotel she was staying at in North Yorkshire and we got the client to agree for us to head down there and get footage of her movements and who she was there with.

We got down to the hotel hours before she was due to arrive and covertly filmed her actual arrival onto the grounds with a well-groomed older male in a sports car. We also covertly filmed them entering the hotel holding hands. Later that evening, we instigated cause for us to be seated very close to them in the hotel’s restaurant where we gained footage of them enjoying a romantic meal and when it was finished we followed and filmed them walking arm-in-arm back to a room.

Before leaving we were able to solicit the name of the person under which the room was booked from the hotel receptionist and further enquiries led to us discovering that the male was managing director of the company the client’s partner worked for.

We compiled all of our footage and wrote an accompanying report and met with our client to present it back to him. He was understandably crestfallen but rather admirably he said to us “Thank you. I just had to know. It was making me ill.”
