"We had growing suspicions that something was amiss within our management team, but we didn’t have the means to uncover the truth ourselves. That’s when we brought in Rothamere to investigate, and I can honestly say their work was exceptional.
Their investigative team quickly got to work, meticulously examining confidential sales inquiries, designs, costing information, and supplier data. Within a short time, they uncovered alarming evidence that members of our management were using this sensitive information to set up a competing business. Rothamere’s thorough approach not only confirmed our suspicions but provided us with clear, actionable evidence that we could use to address the situation legally and strategically.
The level of detail in their findings and the professionalism with which they handled such a sensitive matter was beyond impressive. They worked discreetly to protect the integrity of our business while ensuring that we had the facts needed to take decisive action. Without their expertise, this breach of trust could have continued unchecked, costing us significantly both financially and reputationally. Rothamere’s investigative services gave us peace of mind and the tools to safeguard our business. We now have stronger internal controls in place, and we are better protected against future risks. I highly recommend their services to any business facing internal threats or looking for expert investigation support."
