Can you afford not to read the next five pages?
It is now common knowledge that many businesses are suffering losses running into thousands of pounds, or even worse, facing total failure, as a direct result of industrial espionage. It is possible that your organisation is being adversely affected, if not from espionage then from misappropriation, patent infringements or politically motivated labour disputes.
The time it takes you to read this brochure could prove to be well spent - it is too easy just to dismiss the subject simply because it is unpleasant, but the fact remains that there is an increasing need for professional industrial investigation. Here, we can only briefly discuss the general subject, and give you some information about our firm. If you feel that you would like to take the matter further, one of our principals will be pleased to meet you by appointment, at either your own offices or on neutral territory.
The problems:
Industrial espionage costs business money. Information gained by research and development can take years but can be passed to a competitor in minutes. Because the rewards are high and the risks low, it is easily organised, from the inside. It is difficult to detect and to establish proof, so it needs an experienced and highly professional investigation service to counteract it and prevent similar occurrences.
Misappropriation, infringement of patents and copyright, and plain mismanagement all seriously damage companies, and they are not easily detected because they operate within the companies, where you would least expect. Perhaps even more damaging are the politically motivated labour disruptions, usually on the manufacturing side. Just one trained individual can wreak well-planned havoc over a given period of time. This alone has been sufficient to reduce a business to its knees; and once again, it requires considerable experience to deal with it in a discreet and efficient manner, without any unrequired publicity.
Other problems facing industry include internal fraud and a general loss of customer or client information, and these frequently predominate at a lower management level. Financial and credit enquiries must be much more thorough than in the past,
