We do have female staff, Frances is a case manager and has worked for us for more than 10 years. The only people more senior than her are the Partners (all Fraser's) and the 3 senior case managers who have all worked here for 25+ years. There are not many companies who have had female staff who have worked for the same company that long. We employ ex-police, or our internal research staff to be on the road and have just not had a female rise through the ranks or come from the police.
It is true that anyone can cut us out after we have done all the hard work but there is a lot that is going on off camera and after we find the heir, it is the service that people pay a % for.
Sorry it appears mercenary but it is a very competitive and we are working very fast in these cases. We have policies in place to make sure that the heir is treated with dignity but it often seems unfair when several people all find the same heir and fight over the inheritance, and a tragic family event of some one dying. If we get early wind of cases and can work at our own pace it is always preferable.
There is very little extra drama added, we really do work like this.
When we were "racing round London" we had sent Ewart to Westminster RO, he used to work there, then we sent Bob from the office by Taxi as it should have taken him 5 mins, to Camden RO. We cant sent the "tea boy" as we don't have one and he would hardly be the best person to break the news of someone's death to a family member, not sure if a man arriving in a suit dripping with sweat and dirt having ridden through London or a man in motor bike leathers would also be the best for the job.
