We all have our weaknesses...
...usually because we simply don't recognise them.  We will conduct an independent, comprehensive security survey, starting with an initial audit, which will give a clear assessment of all your physical and procedural security systems, from access control to installations, and premises through to information technology and financial accounting processes. See Case Histories

Every audit is backed by detailed reports and recommendations, which we can help implement through sympathetic staff training and systematic monitoring in the form of regular periodic reviews.

As with all of our services, the security consultancy is directed to meet specific business needs. We can provide regular support and on-going advice to keep ahead of changing situations, perform sophisticated electronic counter surveillance sweeps or devise effective security plans to service one-off projects and special events.

Prevention is better than cure
Theft of both property and industrial/commercial secrets can cause immense damage to organisations, stretching far beyond the material value and the loss of revenue. Incorrect handling of any suspicions can create a de-motivated workforce, working in an unhealthy environment where suspicion abounds. Loss of confidence from customers and shareholders alike has far reaching consequences.

Our aim is to put in place preventative control measures that do not interfere with the effectiveness of your operations. We provide a 'one stop package', using experts from the fields of systems analysis, risk management, and training to prevent occurrence and minimise impact. If the prevention side falls down, we can help with the cure.

Following our strict procedural guidelines, we can conduct an immediate investigation when theft or fraud is suspected. Using sophisticated covert physical or technical surveillance and tracing methods, we will quickly discover where and how it is occurring, and who is involved. We will maximise the chances of identifying the perpetrators and recovering the property.

Our team has vast experience in the conduct of investigations so as to operate with maximum discretion and the least possible disruption to the operational requirements of our clients. Pointing the finger in the wrong direction can be costly. We initially ensure property has not simply been misplaced, or in fact, never actually received.

Our mission is to make you safe and secure.

Desperate times call for desperate measures
It's unfortunate that this adage applies so aptly to the depths some will stoop to extract ransom from companies and individuals.

Product contamination is one such desperate measure that became a major issue during the 1990's. This continues to remain a threat, but current crimes such as e-crime, advance fee fraud (lottery scams), blackmail, identity theft, money laundering or theft by employee, and infiltration by inside agents (hence need for enhanced vetting) require constant monitoring. Effective Crisis Management solutions from Farleigh Investigations on prevention and problem solving in critical areas of business such as call handling, banking, accounts and stock control can all but eliminate potentially disastrous consequences.

Kidnapping and ransom is a more established but equally effective method of extortion in the UK and abroad. With the size and number of companies forever on the increase, more employees are becoming potential targets.

With our team's wealth of experience from police and military backgrounds, we have the ideal solution to provide comprehensive information on how to manage, limit, and ideally, to prevent such crises.

Personal safety and security
People are the most important factor in any organization and those who lead and direct, and their families, can be most at risk. We offer a highly professional service, led by the former senior instructor of the military Close Protection Unit.. We have world-wide experience of advising, planning and managing the executive protection of political leaders, senior diplomats and business executives. This expertise has proved invaluable when advising and protecting clients in hostile situations abroad and in the UK.

We address all security concerns of your executives and their families, arranging appropriate protection. Our services can include risk assessments of foreign countries and giving advice for the adoption of security procedures for all company personnel, particularly expatriate employees, travelling or working in high risk locations.

We are also able to undertake the training of close protection personnel, to the highest standard. This can include firearms training outside the UK.

Big Brother is watching you - Counter Surveillance
Surveillance technology provides us with many indispensable tools to perform services we may not otherwise be able to offer. The unfortunate side effect is that, as the technology becomes cheaper and more widely available, many companies are finding themselves victims of 'bugged' phone calls and offices and computer 'hacking'.

As modern day business deals with higher and higher stakes in an increasingly competitive environment, inside information becomes even more valuable - and technology is making it even more accessible.

Counter surveillance measures are being more widely employed as it becomes easier for infiltrators to install simple and effective devices. Our de-bugging sweeps and security advice will give you the peace of mind to continue to conduct business in a secure environment.
