We have never before needed the services of a PI but we can't thank Insignis enough for their prompt, professional response to, what for us, was a very stressful situation. Andrew was helpful, friendly and supportive and couldn't do enough to help resolve our issue which he did in double quick time. He was indeed our Knight in Shining Armour! Many thanks Insignis.

I have worked with Insignis and have to say as a stickler for detail and professionalism, youd be hard pushed to find an investigations service that really does do what it says in the tin. Ive been able to see at first hand the full spectrum of investigative techniques and surveillance capabilities they provide. You wont be disappointed!

Thank you for all your help. I had been searching for my dad for years with no luck. Contacted you for help on the wednesday afternoon. By the Thursday night you had tracked him down and was on his door step for me. Can't thank you enough you truly was amazing.

I would like to first thank Andrew from Insignis for his efforts & great service. I appointed Insignis for a tasking and they exceeded my expectations. I am from the same world and can say Andrew and the team are the real deal. I would not hesitate to recommend you and appoint you in the future.

I would highly recommend INSIGNIS investigations. I was so impressed with the service they provided to me where others have made promises and not kept, INSIGNIS investigations delivered above and beyond my expectations. I had 48 hours to get a non molestation order served on an excellent partner who is out of area. I rang INSIGNIS investigations at 10am today. By 3.49pm they had managed to get hold of my ex partner and serve him court documents.
Andrew, is extremely polite, professional and went the extra mile to get this done for me as a matter of urgency. I will recommend INSIGNIS investigations without hesitation. Thank you INSIGNIS investigations for your help. A grateful customer Tamara Tyler
