A journalism operation that investigates to criminal procedure standards. A private investigation company that publishes what it finds. Both, simultaneously, on its own platform, answerable to nobody but the evidence and the public interest.
When the police decline to investigate and the mainstream media declines to report — as they do, systematically, in cases touching the institutions Hunt & Gather examines — the chain of accountability does not disappear. It has been vacated. Hunt & Gather steps into it.
Our director brings twenty years of frontline broadcast experience to every investigation — the skills of a field producer trained to find the story, build the evidential record, and put it in front of an audience. Those skills do not stop being useful because the broadcaster has lost its nerve. They become more useful.
Our surveillance capability was developed through training with operatives whose backgrounds span UK Police and Security Service covert operations at national level.
All investigation work is compiled to the standards required by the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 — the same framework that governs police investigations. Material that is legally defensible, properly documented, and capable of being used in proceedings.
We publish what we find in the public interest. That is not a side effect of the investigation. It is part of the methodology.
We do not advertise rates. If you are stuck with a matter that warrants this capability, please let us know how we can help.
