Our Newcastle city centre based client got in touch with us after having Surmount recommended to them by a previous organisation we’d worked with, checking us out online and liking what they saw. They brought us in to consult with regards to concerns they had regarding one of their staff.

Our Newcastle based Landlord client had a property portfolio that included a number of varying-sized residential properties throughout the region along with some commercial units. At one of his fully furnished residential properties he was reaching the end of his tether with his tenant, a female in her late twenties that we’ll call ‘Carol’.

For those who are unaware, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU regulation on data protection and privacy for all individuals. It aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data. As per Wikipedia:
We received instruction from a UK insurance company who wanted a secondary investigation completed to support the one completed by their own claims management team in relation to an insurance claim made by one of their policyholders.
The policyholder had submitted a claim that his BMW 1 Series vehicle had been stolen at the end of March 2018. The initial contact centre staff member taking the details raised a concern and the claims management team put one of their investigators on it.

Our client based in Tyne and Wear contacted us as they were far along in a bitter custody battle with their ex-partner and starting to lose ground. The client was the father and felt that his case was not being fully and honestly considered because the courts, social services, police and other partnership agencies felt automatically aligned to support the mother in matters of this ilk.
Custody Dispute investigations are fast replacing Cheating Spouse investigations here at Surmount as the most popular engagement for service we receive from private clients.
