A H Jones Investigators is now closed.

After more than 50 years in business, we have made the decision to close A H Jones Investigators.

The business was founded in 1973 and later bought by my dad, Andrew Gibson. He grew it into a highly successful company across the South West of England and beyond. When my dad passed away in 2024, I took over to carry forward his legacy.

Over the past two years, Freddy (my son and Andrew’s grandson) and I have worked hard to continue the business, extending our reach into Enfield. While this expansion has been a success, we both feel it is time to focus on our own passions and interests.

I know my dad would be proud of what we’ve achieved and would support our decision to close the business. Although it is a bittersweet moment, we are confident it is the right choice for us.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years – both my dad, and Freddy and I. We have had the privilege of working with some incredible people and hope we have made a positive difference in many lives.

A reliable witness statement can confirm key facts and fill gaps making it one of the most influential - and time-critical - steps in a legal case.

However, witnesses disappear - for many reasons - and it's not always deliberate. But it can have a significant impact. A missing witness can stall proceedings, leaving a legal team without the evidence needed to build or challenge a case.

Read our latest article to learn more about how professional investigators, such as ourselves, use lawful methods to trace witnesses - often in tight timescales - and obtain reliable witness statements.
