About Us

Director

Our Managing Director served as a Military Police Officer from 1988 - 2001. Assignments and Investigations have taken him across globe. After leaving the forces he took his training and experience and embarked on a career in Retail Security Management and Investigation. This role quickly turned in to a Regional Position with a remit stretching over a widespread portfolio of department stores.

He then parted company with this employer and moved to a well known National Company within the Security and Fraud Investigation Department firstly based in Birmingham. Also whilst here he fulfilled the role of covert surveillance specialist working on major operations with various police forces on crime prevention and reduction initiatives and anti-car crime squads. He also was a member of the Birmingham Crime Prevention Panel which dealt with city issues at the highest levels.

He later moved with promotion in to the West London Head Office where he became the manager of a a multi-site contact with 25 sites. He fulfilled this particular role for 15 months turning the project from a loss maker in to a £3.6M p.a operation before again being promoted internally and moving on to manage a £4.2million project on the south coast with 30 sites.

The project was very challenging with enforcement, revenue protection, audit, cash in transit, physical security and contract management issues to contend with. The project was a groundbreaking Public Private Partnership (PPP) and the first of it's kind on this scale and has since become the template for others to follow. At the 18 month point he announced his decision to leave the project and assisted in the recruitment and training of his replacement.

He resisted the temptation of a further project in the South and moved back to the Midlands where he  initially began as a self employed Security and Investigative Consultant. Within weeks he secured a position as an Associate Partner of one of the countries top accountancy firms, within their Business Integrity and Fraud Investigations Department. This department looks at public sector fraud and wastages of public funds. Today this relationship remains.

Trident Investigations Limited was incorporated shortly after and after a slow beginning grew to be one of the most innovative companies within the Private Investigation industry.

Director

Our second Directors career began in Banking where she served in several roles over a period of 5 years before joining Warwickshire Constabulary. Her detailed approach to investigation was noticed early on in her career and she was specially selected and recommended for attachment to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). At the time this achievement made her the youngest serving officer to be attached to this specialist department. during this position she lead the investigation into a serious deception where in excess of £100k was defrauded from various insurance companies, and secured a lengthy custodial sentence for the offender.

After 5 years service she took a career break from the police in order to further her professional development and completed BA (Hons) in Accounting and Law. This opened doors for her commercially and initially she returned to the Finance Industry working for a top Investment Company where she dealt with all escalation issues and matters involving money laundering, fraud and data protection. She was later seconded to a specialist team dealing with compliance issues in line with current legislation.

She then moved on to a National Company as a Company Investigator. The company provided outsourced contract enforcement services to Local Authorities (LA) across the UK. The role was both demanding and challenging. The investigations conducted often drew media attention and could be sensitive to both the company and the client LA. Due to her tact and dedication she was personally selected to conduct sensitive investigations which could have resulted in serious commercial implications. Whilst in the position she became a key figure in the implementation of the ‘side by side’ initiative in Partnership with the Metropolitan Police. This agreement sets out policy and procedure for the level of police support given to enforcement staff during the course of their duties.

Upon approaching the end of her career break from the Police Service she resigned her position and assisted with the incorporation of Trident Investigations.

Senior Investigator

From our London office our Senior Investigator began his working life within the family business as an interpreter and translator. Being tri-lingual, speaking fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese his skills were often used by the police and legal clients in all manner of civil, criminal and business matters.

Not having had a traditional investigative background making a move in to the investigation industry meant starting from scratch by taking a commercial route. Starting off as a uniformed Security Officer and later moving in to specialist covert roles as a Store Detective working for major retailers in and around the London area. Taking advantage of the training available including investigative interviewing he worked his way up the career ladder over several years until he became a Security Manager. This path then led on to bigger and better roles until he became a leading Retail Loss Prevention Investigator.

After 16 years in retail fraud investigation, he represents Trident Investigations in London and the South East.

He also has completed a Diploma in Private Investigations and currently acts as the General Secretary of the World Association of Professional Investigators.
