Overcoming the Negative Perception of Private Investigators

A firm of private investigators in Dunsfold, which "strives to develop" apprentices, has made it onto the shortlist of this year's Toast of Surrey Awards

Answers Investigation, based in Chiddingfold Road is a private investigator handling business which covers legal, private and international cases with in-house computer forensics and fingerprinting

Nigel Parsons, private investigator, said it was a "privilege" to be shortlisted

He said: “We are a Surrey-based business and to us it is our heartland. It is a privilege to be a finalist in these awards.”

Mr Parsons said being shortlisted is the kind of recognition that can help overcome the negative perception people can sometimes have of the industry

“There are many admirable large companies providing apprenticeship opportunities,” he said

“Answers Investigation are very much small business, and apprenticeship in small business is as relevant to us as it is to national firms

“We are the only private investigators in the country to provide this sort of opportunity and it is epitomised by Lauren Parker, who is five months into her year-long apprenticeship with us and who has already made her mark as a young, skilled and professional Investigator with a tremendous future.
