We work primarily with the insurance, loss adjusting, risk management and legal professions providing specialist pre-loss risk assessment, forensic root cause analysis, expert witness services, post-loss remediation and prevention advice.

We are industry leaders with proven expertise and practical experience, married with a real awareness of our clients' needs. We offer a rapid response, attending the scene immediately if required. A preliminary report is produced within three days of the scene visit, setting out the most probable cause and a proposed strategy for further investigation. Our reporting is flexible and can be tailored to your needs, depending on the scale and urgency of the investigation. Our services range from a free consultation through to a full investigation where required to formulate a clear and impartial report for the support of legal action.
