Private investigations across the North of England

InSecret is a private investigation practice based in Manchester. We work with individuals, families, and businesses across the North of England, covering surveillance, background checks, and corporate investigations.

InSecret is owned and operated by Dan Dorney, an Irishman who has built the practice around straight answers and genuine discretion.

With over 15 years of experience, we're open 7 days a week, early until late, so you're never left waiting to speak to someone when it matters.

Our team includes both male and female investigators, so we can match the right person to your case where it matters.

Every case is handled quietly and lawfully, with evidence that holds up if it needs to go further — a solicitor, a court, or simply your own peace of mind. Nothing is discussed outside a secure, need-to-know channel, and personal data is handled in line with UK GDPR and Data Protection Act standards throughout.

Confidentiality isn't just a policy for us, it's the foundation of everything we do. Your identity, your case, and your reasons for contacting us stay strictly between you and your investigator, whatever the nature of the matter.

We also believe in fair, transparent pricing. Every enquiry starts with a free, no-obligation consultation, so you know exactly what's involved and what it will cost before you commit to anything, with no hidden fees or surprises further down the line.

Whatever brings you to us, our aim stays the same: honest, straightforward answers, delivered professionally and handled with the seriousness they deserve.
