Maxim’s Private Investigator

April 1st, 2008

Sometimes you don’t have to do anything and the media write about you. Well tell a lie, Neil Sheppard from Trident Investigations (otherwise known as Provost2000 - ELG) got a call one day from a journalist writing for Maxim Magazine about Private Investigators. He mentions my name as well as another member of ELG and the next thing you know, i get a phone call from said journalist and a telephone interview ensues.

The result? [its on page 45 of the May edition of Maxim Magazine]

Business Services UK has got me to page 1 of Google

March 28th, 2008

As some of you will know, I have been having some work done on my website. I have completely updated the site i looks and in its on-page SEO and have thrown a lot of links at it too.

My relatively new site is now hovering at rank 7-9 on Google page one for some highly competitive search terms.

All in all, the money spent on having a SEO expert work on the site has been good value for money.

Now I need to get to number 1 on page 1. I have learnt that it’s not a easy road but with perseverance and hard work it can be done.

Salgado Investigates the DIY-PR and SEO UKBF Masters

March 28th, 2008

I went along to the seminar organised by Duane Jackson MD of Kashflow. Duane has a regular get together that he does for TrustNetworkers.

On this occasion, two speakers were booked in, Andy Barr from 10Yetis and Ray Field of Tin Soldier Design. Both of these had a reputation to live up to from UKBF and so I was curious about them.

I arrived promptly at 6pm and found Andy waiting in reception all by himself. He was pretending to do some work on his laptop but I knew he didn’t want to look like billy-no-mates and so I joined him for a coffee.

Soon it was time to go in to the lecture room and after a short introduction from someone else, Andy Barr got up and started talking about PR. He gave a polished performance and a lot of good do-it-urself PR advice.

Then Ray (Tin Soldier) Field got up and the room instantly stilled as he revealed some of the secrets of his dark trade. He covered everything from how to use Alt and other meta data to how the big G’s algorithm behaves.

Afterwards a lot of us went to the pub round the corner and I managed to get five minutes with Ray who admitted to having analysed my web site and he told me my site was “slick” but needed a couple of little tweaks here and there. Ray offered me a free hour’s worth of advice which I will take up at some point.

I met up with some cool people there, a lot of them from UKBF and I managed to get my report in to my Client about the events in the pub and the half an hour trek to find another watering hole after we got chucked out from the pub.

The following day I woke up to find my name plastered over two publications (due to 10yetis) PInow.com and Maxim magazine - May edition, page 45.

THIEVING LITTLE BRITAINS

March 25th, 2008

A leading UK Private Investigator has found that more than three quarters of workers have stolen from their current or previous places of work. The figures show that potentially over £432m of company goods, including laptops, confidential personal data, TVs, and even an office pet in one case are stolen in the UK each year. It is also clear that very few measures are in place across companies to prevent theft from happening.

Recent anonymous online research commissioned by salgadoinvestigations.com of 1,476 British people has found that 78% have stolen from their place of work at some point in their lives. This means that with individuals admitting to stealing, on average, more than £920 worth of items throughout their careers, theft at work costs the economy nearly £432m each year. The research stipulated that office stationary did not count.

Those who denied pilfering from work however are certainly no angels, as 57% of people who haven’t yet stolen from a place of work said that they would if they thought that they could get away with it.

Jorge Salgado-Reyes, a leading UK Private Investigator is an expert in the fields of corporate and company theft, infidelity and person tracing with more than 19 years in the business, and has published the findings. Jorge commissioned the research to gain more of an understanding of Britain’s habits, and to highlight how companies can help turn this problem around.

Installing or more closely monitoring CCTV could be the saving grace for those companies who are noticing that their assets are dwindling. When asked “what would deter you from stealing an item?” 38.1% of the participants admitted that video monitoring would be the main deterrent. This was followed by 19% claiming that law involvement would be the one thing to dissuade them, with just 2.4% worried that their mum could/would find out.

Jorge had the following to say,

“In my line of work, you get used to shocking stories and facts, but these stats make for pretty scary reading. Companies are doing little to stop thefts of these kinds, with very few having deterrents such as monitored CCTV or robust asset management systems in place. The theft of confidential personal data has been in the media eye recently and for good reason – more and more companies are securing the services of Private Investigators like me to detect people committing often large-scale criminal acts of these kinds.

“It just goes to show that in today’s Britain, you really don’t know who you can trust.”

Amongst the stolen items anonymously detailed in the comprehensive survey were large sums of cash, alcohol, furniture, computer equipment and even one boss’ desk.
