LONGEVITY: Sapphire was incorporated in October 1963 by our founder, the late Barrie Peachman. Over 60 years later and we are still going strong!


EXPERIENCE: Our 2 operational Directors, Mark & Paul Peachman (founder’s sons) are active and “hands on” in the business. Paul’s son Tom joined Sapphire in 2018. We are unique in our industry as a 3rd generation family business. Between our Directors and operatives, we can draw upon well over a century of experience in the investigation industry. There is NO substitute for experience.


HIGH STANDARDS: As a company we are driven by a philosophy of ultimate service; a determination to “do it better than anyone else and always compete on an improved service basis.” Despite our extensive experience and history, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our services. As our founder would say – “you’re only as good as your last job.”


A PROVEN “SAFE PAIR OF HANDS”: Don’t take our word for it. See the recommendations received from a variety of clients on our “About” page, of which this is a small sample:

"I have used Sapphire Investigations and Mark & Paul Peachman (and I think their father before them) for about 35 years. They are a major asset to my business and clients and have been of immeasurable help on so many occasions. A number of my colleagues also ‘swear by them.’ Efficient, good value for money, effective and ever helpful. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
Tim Eagle - Notary at Hansells Notaries and Solicitor at Hansells

"I cannot praise Mark enough for the services offered. Mark, Paul, and the rest of the team at Sapphire consistently go above and beyond whenever instructed (which is a LOT). Great communication throughout a job. Highly recommended."
Laura Macdonald - Senior Solicitor at Nplaw

"I have instructed Sapphire Investigations to trace beneficiaries under Wills several times. Each time they have come back with a detailed report in a very short time space of time. They take pride in their work and go the extra mile to assist on difficult cases. If you need to find someone these are the guys to go to."
