Recommendation and praise
Recommendation and praise from major coporate client received by Lancasters:
Lancasters, through Bob and his staff, provide a highly professional service catering to a difficult market sector. From gathering evidence for the preparation of legal applications, to providing intelligence on opposing parties positioning, his teams research and investigation skills are spot on.
In terms of providing protective staff sufficiently burly as to deter problems, again Bob delivers the goods. Not once did we need to rely upon their physical skill but there was never doubt as to their ability. This of itself influenced significantly the fact that no direct conflict ever eventuated.
Over the course of six years I had need to call upon such services on numerous occasions. We also tried several other service providers, but in contrast to the others Bob always delivered the resources required on time.
I highly recommend Lancasters for any investigative and/or risk management activities that you may required to be undertaken."

Close Protection Results for November and December
A family was under a direct threat after an employee was sacked. Threats
were made against the employer's manager and family. Lancasters had a team
covering the family and also counter surveillance was carried out within
hours of a request at a location on the Central Coast. Coverage was
maintained for some time until the threat diminished.
Client's satisfaction with our service was expressed in his letter to us:
3rd January 2008
Robert Lancaster
Managing Director
Lancasters
Dear Bob,
I would like to thank you for the service you and your staff provided to my family and I recently.
As you are aware, we were feeling extremely vulnerable during this period. [name censored] and I were overwhelmed with the level of support you and your staff provided. From the immediate response, to the request for surveillance and the many discussions that took place with you and your staff during that time, we had total trust in you.
I have never experienced such a high level of skill and professionalism in my personal or working career as was displayed by your company, particular yourself, Mark and Luke.
Without your help, I'm certain we would have had great difficulty regaining our sanity. We have moved forward and for this I will always be grateful.
Once again Bob, many thanks!
