ABOUT VERITY HENTON

Investigative expertise
you can trust

Founded by experienced former police detectives, Verity Henton Private Investigations brings the rigour and professionalism of law enforcement to the private sector. We understand that the matters clients bring to us are often among the most sensitive they will face – personally or professionally.

Our approach is built on three principles: absolute discretion, methodical investigation, and clear, objective reporting. Every case is handled with care, and every conclusion is supported by verified, lawfully obtained evidence – never speculation.

Discretion

All communications and investigative activity are conducted with complete confidentiality. Your privacy is our highest priority.

Methodology

We apply established, lawful investigative techniques drawn from professional policing practice to build a clear evidential picture.

Evidence

All findings are documented in a structured evidence report, compiled to the highest standards and legally admissible where required.

Integrity

We will always be direct about the feasibility of a case. If the evidence does not support a conclusion, we will tell you clearly.

HOW WE WORK

A structured, professional process

Every investigation begins with a frank, confidential consultation – and concludes with a comprehensive written report.

01

Confidential Consultation

We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your situation, discuss what we can realistically establish, and outline the appropriate investigative approach. All enquiries are treated with strict confidentiality from the outset.

02

Case Assessment & Planning

Following consultation, we conduct a thorough case assessment and provide a transparent, fixed-fee quotation. We will only proceed if we believe an investigation can deliver meaningful results — we never overpromise on outcomes.

03

Investigation & Evidence Report

All investigative activity is carried out lawfully by our professional team. Findings are compiled into a clear, structured evidence report — documented to a standard suitable for legal proceedings if required.
