I recently worked with Prometheus Investigations and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. They are professional and highly skilled, far beyond what I had initially expected from them. The operational capabilities and situational awareness were exceptional and the level of attention to detail was fascinating to witness to say the least, catching even the smallest of details that ended up making significant differences within the investigation. The strategic approach taken was methodical and effective, showing a deep understanding of investigative work. In this case involving potential corporate espionage, they operated with military precision. Conducted thorough background checks, discreet surveillance, and carried out detailed data analysis. This firms ability to gather important information without being noticed was impressive. Overall, Prometheus Investigations is a top-tier private investigation service and I highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and skilled investigative team, especially if you’re looking for somebody with solid forward thinking abilities. I’ll definitely be keeping them close by for the foreseeable future.

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.
