Who We Are: Seasoned Professional Investigators

Prometheus Investigations was founded in 2017 by our director, following a long and successful career as a fraud investigator within a law firm.

Our aim from the outset was simple: to build a private investigation company that individuals and businesses can genuinely trust.

From day one, we have operated to recognised professional standards and are proud members of the Association of British Investigators (ABI) and the World Association of Professional Investigators (WAPI).

Since then, we have supported thousands of private clients and businesses across the UK, building a reputation for discretion, professionalism, and results.

Elite Surveillance Agents

Our surveillance team includes experienced ex-military operatives trained in precision, discretion, and advanced fieldcraft.

Their background in tactical operations equips them perfectly for covert surveillance across a wide range of cases — from anti-stalking investigations and cohabitation disputes to the deployment of GPS vehicle trackers.

We benefit from the insight and investigative skill of former police detectives.

These professionals have handled everything from cheating partners to serious crime cases, giving them a deep understanding of UK law, interview techniques, and evidential standards.

Former Fraud Investigators

Our specialists in fraud and complex crime investigations have years of experience unravelling sophisticated deception.

From staged accidents and false insurance claims to employee theft and financial misconduct, they’re skilled in following money trails, identifying red flags, and exposing the truth behind complex cases.
