Led by Miss Katrina Goodman
Every case at Goodman Research & Tracing Group is opened and signed off personally by Miss Katrina Goodman, Founder & Lead Investigator. She spent eleven years in fraud investigation for a major UK insurer before founding the agency, and holds a postgraduate qualification in forensic investigation alongside her ABI membership.
Her casework today spans matrimonial and relationship investigations, corporate due diligence, and complex tracing instructions — often for clients who've been let down by a less thorough enquiry elsewhere. She remains hands-on with every file the agency accepts, and personally reviews each report before it reaches a client.
What we're instructed for
Each engagement begins with a scoping call to confirm the evidence is lawfully obtainable and proportionate before any work begins.
Matrimonial & relationship
Establishing fact around infidelity or cohabitation concerns, with surveillance conducted strictly within the law.
Due diligence & fraud
Pre-investment checks, employee misconduct, insurance fraud, and asset tracing for businesses and insurers.
People tracing
Locating missing family members, debtors, or witnesses using lawful, ICO-compliant tracing methods.
Covert surveillance
Static and mobile surveillance carried out by trained operatives, documented to evidential standard.
Process serving & evidence
Supporting solicitors and barristers with process serving, witness tracing, and statement-ready reports.
Bug & device sweeps
Technical surveillance countermeasures for homes, vehicles, and boardrooms, with a written clearance report.
How an instruction runs
A clear, staged process — you'll always know what stage your case is at and what it's costing.
Confidential call
We listen, assess whether the case is lawful and viable, and give you an honest view — free of charge.
Fixed-fee proposal
A written scope and fixed or capped fee, so there are no surprises once work is under way.
Investigation
Your assigned investigator carries out the work, with regular updates at agreed intervals.
Report & handover
A written report, evidence log, and — where needed — a witness statement suitable for court.
