When seeking assistance from a business such as this involves a certain amount of trepidation. Having met with Martyn and explaining my situation, I was immediately put at ease and filled with confidence that I had found the right person/company to resolve my issue. Having worked with this company I have been proven right. Professional, informative, knowledgeable and discreet are only a few of the words I associate with this exceptional business. Not one for writing reviews I felt the need to reassure others seeking help to reach out. You’ll be extremely glad you did! More...

I used this firm recently, I chose them as they were local to Brighton rather than presenting themselves as being here but actually based somewhere else. I was able to get straight through on the phone, speak to someone for good advice who then completed the necessary work at a reasonable price within a few hours. Would definitely recommend. More...

Having never had to use such a service, I was immediately put at ease and felt comfortable from the start with Martyn’s professionalism and understanding in a difficult matter. I was informed of all stages of the process, a full and clear outline of any costs to be incurred throughout, and Martyn communicated promptly and thoroughly with any questions and concerns I had.

I contacted Orion Investigations on recommendation. I required help with locating respondents subject of a high value High Court action involving an elderly victim. Quickly finding an address for service of a High Court Writ was imperative. Orion Investigations delivered on this in a very timely and efficient manner. I was offered confirmation of a new address for the respondents and service of the High Court paperwork by Orion too. The professionalism and service provided was faultless. Fees were discussed and agreed prior to taking action and dialogue continued throughout the different stages of the follow up leading to proof of service. All in all an excellent service.

Having never used a service like this before, I had no idea what to do or how it worked etc.
I have a very nasty and stressful issue going on at work, to which a solicitor friend of the family recommended Orion Investigations.
When I contacted them, I spoke with Martyn who I felt went above and beyond to assist me.
Due to their background and knowledge, Martyn thoroughly went through all the different options I had and then worked with me to choose the wright course of action for me and my circumstances. The best option for the situation at the time and for my finances etc.
I would very strongly recommend, and I will use again.

I found Orion Investigations via a localised Google search and having spoken with Martyn he was immediately head and shoulders above the competition.

After discussing my objectives and making his own unbiased recommendations, Martyn performed 3 days' worth of surveillance at unpleasant hours of the day and night in a location I am looking to purchase a property.

There was no hard sell to commit to a minimum duration and he fully understood what I wanted to achieve.

At the end of each period of surveillance I received a thorough report from Martyn detailing his findings and - reassuringly - his personal assessment of the environs.

I wholeheartedly recommend Orion Investigations to any prospective client and wouldn't hesitate to use Martyn's services again should the need arise.

Q&As

My name is Martyn Meekums. I am the founder of Orion Investigations & Intelligence Limited, and the Senior Investigator.
So, what do I enjoy most about my job?
I enjoy the diversity of assignments my clients ask me to undertake. Every investigation presents unique challenges. No two jobs are ever the same and I genuinely want to do my best for those who place their trust in my company, Orion Investigations & Intelligence Limited. This is demonstrated by the sheer number of positive reviews I have received from delighted clients who have entrusted me to work for them.
The Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle said, "Quality is never an accident. It is the direct result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution"
Those words hold true today and they are the Orion mantra. Every member of my Team at Orion continually strives to improve the quality of service and to exceed customer expectations.

I served 34 years as a career detective with Sussex Police. I only left the Police because I was recruited to be the Global Intelligence Manager for a household name multi-national computer company.
I didn't enjoy working in the corporate world, so I decided to set up Orion Investigations & Intelligence Limited in 2014 in order to make the best use of my professional knowledge and investigations experience.
I take pride in always delivering best in class investigations, exceeding customer expectations, and always providing excellent value.

You should choose me because I am a REAL detective who you can trust to get the job done without breaching your confidence, and without charging you a fortune. I have received over THIRTY genuine FIVE STAR Reviews across Trustpilot, Google and Yell and an EXCELLENT customer satisfaction award from Trustpilot with a rating of 4.7/5 underlines that people who have trusted me to work for them are very pleased with my work and the expertise and value I provide.

I take great personal pride in the fact that private and commercial customers place their trust in Orion Investigations & Intelligence Ltd to provide them with first-class service.
I only work with experts who are ex-Police Detectives and ex-Military (many of whom are former Special Forces) who I know personally and who I trust implicitly.
Beware! There are many unscrupulous rogues operating as Private Investigators. Many have no training, no insurance, and no intention of doing any work for the client.
I urge anybody engaging a Private Investigator to make enquiries about their professional background and to be certain that they can trust the people they are trusting to work for them.
I am always pleased to provide details and proof about my professional competencies so my clients can make informed decisions.
Client's considering hiring me are encouraged to check out my LinkedIn profile at https://www.linkedin.com/in/martyn-meekums-4078215a/.
On LinkedIn, you can see the number of genuine endorsements I have received from fellow professionals I have worked with during my career. You cannot fabricate this sort of information. I hope it gives you the confidence to trust me and engage me to work for you.
Orion Investigations & Intelligence Ltd is fully insured. We have £1m Professional Liability Insurance - Many investigators will have no insurance - Ask them for proof!
I am a Full Member of the Association of Britsh Investigators, which rigorously vets its members to ensure quality standards are met, and which operates a strict Code of Ethics its members must comply with.
Everybody who works for and with Orion holds nationally recognized law enforcement and/or military accreditations in investigation and surveillance and holds a current Criminal Records certificate (proving they have a clean criminal record). I've known all of my Team for many years and have worked with them on complex investigations so I can guarantee they work to the same high standards as me.
You can see some of the genuine testimonials received from satisfied clients on the Orion website at www.orioninvestigations.co.uk, and on Trustpilot

This depends entirely on the nature of the investigation. Some services are conducted online, such as Trace & Locate work and the majority of Background Checks, but other services require enquiries face to face. The pandemic has caused me to re-appraise the way I work. I do not meet clients face to face unless absolutely necessary, which makes it even more essential that I conduct Due Diligence, and satisfy myself about every client's true identity and their true motivations for wanting me to conduct an investigation. I always require proof of every client's ID, and addess. If you are not prepared to prove to me who you are, don't bother asking me to work for you.

I wish to re-assure our clients that I am, as far as possible, operating a “business as usual” approach during the current Coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis. You will be able to contact me in the usual way either by mobile phone, 07949 212272 or via email, martyn@orioninvestigations.co.uk.
I am operating as close as possible to "normal". I am fully respecting government advice and keeping personal face to face contact with clients to an absolute minimum. However, I am able to provide first-class service by holding meetings via Skype or Zoom if required.

Services

We provide investigative support to Commercial, Legal and Private clients.
As former police detectives, we understand how to conduct investigations and how to obtain intelligence in an ethical manner which will stand the scrutiny of lawyers, courts and tribunals.
We have gathered evidence to assist individuals in taking out private prosecutions. We have also worked on numerous cases for defendants where our expertise has uncovered evidence to support the defence case that the police had overlooked. We have worked on serious crime investigations which we have uncovered evidence which has caused the Police/CPS to abandon the prosecution.

We are former law enforcement accredited surveillance officers. We can provide static observations. We can also provide mobile surveillance teams. We use the same surveillance techniques employed against major criminals to provide a best in class service for all our clients. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and have undertaken work across the UK for major companies, and we apply the same degree of dedication and tenacity to all cases, whether big or small. We use technical surveillance and video to obtain best evidence.

We are experts in bug sweeping. We use state of the art equipment - NOT the rubbish advertised in so-called "spy shops". Our operatives have the very best training and are experts. We do not do this by half-measures. If you want this service we only do it one way - Properly. If you genuinely need this service we will provide a service which best in class.

We are able to provide the evidence you require to give you the confidence to take action. We will provide evidence of a relationship or of cohabilitation, supported by covert video evidence. We provide evidence in support of divorce cases, and if required we can work with your solicitor.

We are experts in providing trace & locate services. We only use ethical, legal means to locate individuals.
We do not have a back channel into law enforcement to find out a criminal history, not do we hack into phone calls or messages...so so don't ask!
We have conducted 100's of searches. Our success rate is well over 90%.
Please be aware we will need to be satisfied as to the true reason why you wish to late an individual.
