A few years ago, Bascombe International was appointed by a lady in her 30s with a family-related tracing request. At the age of just 6, the lady’s mother had abandoned her when she left the house to supposedly buy a loaf of bread from the shop. She never came back.

There are several reasons why you might require the services of a process server, for instance to serve a Statutory Demand, Injunction Order, Winding-up petition or a host of other legal documents. If you require documents to be served, you will likely need to appoint a professional process server to do this for you, as the recipient may be difficult to find or maybe evading service, and often these important documents need to be served in time for a court date; which could be the next day.
Several years ago, Bascombe International were instructed by a local authority to serve an order on a man who occupied a commercial unit in Fareham, Hampshire.
Bascombe International was instructed by a local corporation to investigate an employee who had been absent from work on extended sick leave. The employee had allegedly been in an accident which affected his ability to work long-term.
There are a number of reasons why an organisation might hire a private investigator, including employee theft, fraud, absenteeism and industrial espionage, all of which can start off as small issues, but if left unresolved, can lead to more significant problems.

Bascombe International were delighted to present a cheque of £1,200 to Rowans Hospice which was raised through a day of charity golf!

Case Studies
The client had been struggling to locate a married couple to serve them with debt-related documents. The couple had proved very illusive and despite several attempts from other process serving agents, they had not had any success.
The client had complained that their vehicles were being damaged on the driveway of their property.
As a result, the client appointed Bascombe International to gather evidence to try and fathom what was going on.
The client has suspicions that a member of their sales team was working against them. The employee would frequently leave the office for the day to ‘visit customers’, which was unusual behaviour and sparked concern.
The client had an employee who had been signed off work for a long period of time with an injured arm. However, they had received reports from other members of staff that the employee had been working elsewhere during his absence.
