OUR FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR
OJT Investigations Groups founder, Oliver Laurence is a seasoned investigator. With over a decade of investigational experience behind him in law enforcement across two States, South Australia and Queensland, Oliver’s ability to get to the bottom of the most complex matters is unquestioned.
Oliver recognises that to ensure his clients get the best service they deserve he must utilise every skill and ability that he has developed over his career to date, to deliver results, first time, every time.
Investigations can be lengthy, time consuming and overwhelming to the untrained and unfamiliar. Oliver ensures that his style of investigation meets all the needs and expectations of his clients. To achieve the best for his clients, Oliver uses modern day technologies to aid him in achieving his results fast, this results in keeping costs low for his clients.
You cannot become a member of the World Association of Detectives (WAD) or the Association of British Investigators without having the support and reputation that Oliver has. When people hire a Brisbane Private Investigator they want to be able to speak with their agent and know that they are working hard to achieve outcomes in a timely manner. Oliver is that Investigator, he is available 24/7 to his Clients.
Oliver’s empathetic and supportive approach ensures clients are treated respectfully, no matter what their enquiry or concern is. Some of Oliver’s clients have been at their most vulnerable, and sought his expertise to get to the bottom of their issue, whether it be a dishonest partner, a bullying and harassment claim or the complex investigation into a missing loved one, Oliver’s approach allows him to gather all the facts from people of all walks of life and cultural backgrounds.
Oliver prides his organisation on bringing to his clients a modern, motivated, progressive and professional investigational agency, always looking to meet the needs and expectations of the client.
Oliver is an asset to any company looking at issues of integrity and internal governance. I’ve seen Oliver work in situations where he is tried and tested by environment and circumstance, and he never failed to deliver a service and product that didn’t meet or exceed expectations.
