Hello, and welcome to the online home of Trusted Eye Investigations.

​

I'm Andrew, Trusted Eye's owner.   Here, I'll take a few moments to tell you about my background and why Trusted Eye is a great choice as a provider of investigation services.  You can also read more about me on my LinkedIn page.

​

My law enforcement career began in 2003 when I volunteered as a special constable and latterly a special sergeant.  Soon after, I joined the regular police service, serving  territorial and non-territorial forces, including as a wildlife crime officer, professional development officer, and a temporary sergeant.  

​

In 2014, following a change in career direction, I joined a large English unitary council's trading standards team, first as a tobacco control officer, then as a consumer protection officer with a remit for fair trading work. 

​

In 2017, I was promoted to lead a community protection investigations team with a remit for fraud, illicit tobacco and intellectual property offences,  money laundering, and more complex consumer crime.  I remained in this role until May 2024.  Much of my time was spent investigating and supervising investigations into high-harm consumer criminality (including offences with vulnerable and intimidated victims and witnesses), offending with a high financial benefit, conspiracy matters, and offending involving vulnerable and intimidated victims and witnesses.  I have excellent skills in file preparation, have considerable court experience, and have often advised other professionals on subjects within my expertise.

​

Over the last eighteen years, I have gained a reputation as a a resilient and tenacious investigator, with a keen eye for detail and excellent problem-solving abilities.  I am down-to-earth but exhibit a professional outlook, am committed to outstanding customer service, and am result-oriented.  In 2008, I was awarded my force's probationer of the year award.  In 2016 I was nominated as my directorate's 'employee of the year'.  In 2018 I received the Chartered Trading Standards Institute's Fair Trading (Criminal) Award; and in 2022 I was nominated by colleagues to receive my Council's unsung hero accolade.  I am committed to my ongoing professional development and a member of the Chartered Trading Standards Institute and Association of British Investigators.

​

Whether you are a private individual, business or public authority, I look forward to serving you.
