Can anyone recommend a good private investigative service in London to help trace a company director?

We've looked for a listed director via his director's details on companieshouse but tenants at his old address don't have a forwarding address

The registered address of his company is just a serviced office centre, and they don't or won't have any other numbers or addresses to give us.

Frustrating thing is we're not even looking for him for any negative reasons, and he's not deliberatly trying to duck us either. All we've got is a name, his limited company details of comapnies house and the serviced office space he uses very occasionally to collect his post.

Can anyone recommend any companies that can provide a very good service at a reasonable price. We don't mind paying good money to a company but we'd expect some "creative" methods outside of the normal publicly available searches that is open to the rest of us in order to get results. Just need a working telephone number or a home address for the guy

Thanks

You could try this site it might save you a few quid, I tracked down an old army buddy that I've been trying to get hold of for ten years using it.

If he has an uncommon surname grab a phone directory and start calling people with the same surname on the off chance that they are a relative. If you find one just explain what you've written here and ask them to pass on your contact details so he can call you.

If you go for a trace you want a 'no trace no fee' arrangement not just a trace enquiry where they'll just take the money. You also want confirmation of the residential address ie, not a place he was at 6 months ago. Lastly don't pay the full amount in advance, go 50/50. If they don't like it shop around.

If the guy's not hiding then you shouldn't need to pay for a trace, just follow the PH leads.
