Our company started way back in the early 1990’s when it was initially formed as HERRIDGE ASSOCIATES by highly respected Roy Herridge QPM, after 34-years of distinguished service in the Metropolitan Police. Roy was one of the most trusted and decorated officers of his time and was awarded the Queens Police Medal for his outstanding service to the Capital.
Shortly after SURELOCK ASSET MANAGEMEMNT LIMITED was formed to deal with the increasing investigations, in 2000 SURELOCK INTERNATIONAL LIMITED was formed mainly to deal with international investigations and then brand protection. Both companies ran side by side but eventually amalgamated and now trade under the name SURELOCK.
The company is now managed by Ron Harrison - A totally committed workaholic and true professional, with 26 years in the private sector and 30 years’ experience as a Police Officer and Detective with Scotland Yard, working on specialist squads both in the UK and abroad. Former President of the ABI.
