Before becoming a private investigator, Olivia spent a lengthy period living in France and has a strong knowledge of the French culture and language. Prior to that she spent time working in the hospitality industry and uses her combined knowledge of both in investigation work today. Olivia now has years of experience, handling complex client issues and is trained in fingerprinting.
Her work is accredited by being the winner of several business awards; Having attended a residential fingerprinting course, Olivia is proficient in taking fingerprints to FBI standards and in developing, analysing and comparing latent fingerprints. To our knowledge we are the only Private Investigator in the United Kingdom to have an in-house fingerprinting facility and Olivia's work has done much to establish this.
"Everyone remembers their first day of working for Answers Investigation, I was told to meet my colleague at 6am in a car park en route to a surveillance job. That was a shock to the system! But once you are awake and moving, you can't help but feel excited about what lies ahead that day. The best part about being a private investigator is that you never know what you'll be doing, today, tomorrow or next week"
"I've also been able to travel, working in Corsica and Ireland, and would have worked in the Canary Islands had it not been for a last minute personal issue. I also have a lot to do with organising the various exhibitions, business club talks and work experience candidates. I am sure that anyone attending an exhibition will think the exhibitors turn up on the day, but there is a lot more to it than that"
"Looking young for my age has it's advantages. Although I am in my 20's, slipping into the guise of a 15 or 16 year old is an excellent way of disarming people if you need to get information. Asked in the right way, knocking on someone's door with a school studies 'survey' that contains 25 seemingly innocuous questions will often get to the truth of a matter. Similarly, I can legally test purchase outlets under the Challenge 25 scheme as I am so often asked for ID in life anyway"
