About us
Learn what sets us apart
Our Approach
We take a proportionate, professional approach, helping clients navigate an increasingly regulated environment. Drawing on expertise from the Special Forces, police and commercial surveillance, we advise on the most effective strategy for each case.
Our track record speaks for itself: in 25 years, no evidence we have gathered has ever been disallowed in legal proceedings, and we have never received negative media criticism. Our commitment to ethical practice and evidential integrity is central to how we operate, and it’s why we’ve never lost a client or a place on a supplier panel.
We offer a complete range of investigative services, from on‑the‑ground surveillance to advanced online research.
We work with a wide range of clients, delivering investigative and surveillance solutions tailored to their needs. We are trusted by some of the largest UK insurance companies, leading solicitor firms, local authorities, and major national and international brands.
Clients rely on our technical expertise, discretion, and commitment to evidential standards. Whether supporting legal proceedings, conducting counter-fraud operations, or providing field surveillance, every assignment is handled with professionalism and integrity.
We pride ourselves on long-term client relationships, many spanning decades, reflecting the reliability, quality, and adaptability of our services.
Our clients
Our Staff
All Surveillance Group staff are fully employed, allowing us to rigorously vet, train, and monitor our team. This investment ensures a highly skilled, dynamic workforce and gives clients confidence that our investigations meet strict industry standards and regulations.
Our operatives hold relevant qualifications ahead of upcoming Private Investigative sector regulations, and we are the only operational surveillance company offering a full range of training courses with industry-standard certifications. We pioneered the BTEC Level 4 in Advanced Surveillance Practice, setting the benchmark for innovation and best practice in global surveillance.
We also employ staff from diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, enabling us to serve clients worldwide.
