Why use Titan Private Investigation Ltd over other Investigation Agencies?

The main reason is our people! Titan’s Managing Director, Simon Henson, has a credible investigation history within the Police conducting investigations since 1997, some 26 years.

In 1996, Simon completed his studies at University after studying Business & Finance.

In 1997, to shut his family up after accusing him of wasting a university education, he reluctantly applied to Nottinghamshire Police, who were recruiting at the time. To his dismay, he successfully passed the initial paper sift application and then went on to many different assessment centres. Each phase he passed the more he wanted to join the Police and finally was accepted.

During his Police career, he was a uniformed Police Officer for a short period before specialising in covert surveillance. Initially, he was involved in the disruption of Nottinghamshire’s serious and organised crime syndicates, which involved having to be armed. And latterly as a Detective Sergeant on a Counterterrorist Investigation team following individuals who had been “profiled” as potential terrorists.

Titan Investigations, the early years

In 2014, after 17 years of Police service, he made the difficult decision to leave the Police and pursue a career in ‘civvy street’. At first, because of his previous training, he trained as a Close Protection Operative. He worked with some important people from other countries when they visited the UK. He quickly identified that this wasn’t for him. It was whilst on a task that an operative he was working with who knew his background asked him why he wasn’t working within the surveillance industry. Simon didn’t know that there was a surveillance industry in ‘civvy street’. So he joined some surveillance forums and networked a bit and met a man in the West Midlands who ran an established Investigation agency. He recognised Simon’s previous training and saw his potential. He took him under his wing, taught him the commercial pricing and fed him with work. Simon connected with other investigation businesses and soon became the go-to surveillance subcontractor. He grafted! Sometimes working 18-hour days, got home late, slept on a sofa in his kitchen for a few hours so as not to wake the family and was on the road again to the next surveillance job where ever that may be in the UK. It’s a lifestyle he states that can’t be sustained long term, but he managed to do it for 4 years. During this time, everything he earned went into building a website, online presence and a business.

Slowly it paid off. The phone started to ring due to the heavy investment he had made into search engine optimisation for the website.

From year 5 onwards, he has been purely office based and performs a role managing the surveillance and other instructions that come in day to day.

So where is Titan Investigations now?

Today, Titan has 9 offices from London to Manchester located in London, Cambridge, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester.

Titan Investigations is the Institute of Professional Investigators’ preferred surveillance training provider and delivers a RQF Level 4 surveillance course, which is an industry-recognised qualification. Titan don’t stop there though. All of their successful graduates are enrolled into Titan’s “GROW” Student Aftercare Programme. This is where they develop their graduates further whilst providing them with work. They are added to the Titan Operational Resourcing Group where the 284 other members/company owners also post their work. This enables graduates to put their hat in the ring for work which requires resourcing.

This is why people come to Titan!
