About 

With a combined 55 years service in the Military, the Intelligence community and the Police , our staff know the importance of teamwork, honesty and commitment. With operational experience spanning most continents (and the seas in-between) we have conducted intelligence and investigative activity in the most demanding environments. We also know a thing or two about discretion and security. We take your personal privacy extremely seriously, and apply appropriate tradecraft where it may be required. Having held some of the highest clearances in the UK and U.S., you can rest assured our research remains between you and us. 

​

After completing public service, our team has been involved in research, publishing and content creation in addition to leading tours at home and abroad.  Our company grew from the clear demand for high quality, accurate and concise research on the history of Scotland.  From the Act of Union, through the Clearances, spiritual awakenings and World Wars, our research has led us to all four corners of the planet.  

​

​Our Purpose


Today, we apply the same principles that drove us in service – innovation, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence – to deliver investigative solutions that make a real difference. We're passionate about harnessing the power of technology with deep research to drive positive change where it is needed most.

 

Our Approach

 

Researching and investigating people takes time, diligence and a keen eye for detail; we will work with you from inception to post operation processing to ensure you are kept fully in the picture throughout. We exploit multi source databases and subscription services to gain the whole picture, before fusing the information into a comprehensive digital package for the customer.
