Preventing pubs, off-licenses and retailers being issued with on-the-spot fines

Secret Filming
Recently, the Home Office declared that unless under-age sales dropped dramatically punitive sanctions would follow. Since 2001 Answers Investigation have provided solutions to the problems facing the on and off-trades by providing seemingly "under-aged" Private Investigators s to assess whether client systems to combat underage purchase are working
Underaged?
Our teams of "under-age" purchasers will visit your company outlets, attempt to purchase alcohol or other age related products and assess whether they are age-checked. All results are recorded and video may be used to record the purchase. The exercises are invaluable for training and for evaluating whether, at the sharp end, your systems work
Shopping without ID
More than mere "mystery shoppers", our agents receive extensive training and security, working alongside experienced detectives. It is this training and experience that make our operations much more effective than those implemented by government bodies (using volunteers) or mystery shopping companies using anonymous people. The quality results from our service have the most influence on licensing authority or media.
Think 21!
Answers Investigation currently work for leading off-licence chains, pubcos, supermarket retailers and other companies selling age related products. The service has been featured in the Morning Advertiser and on the BBC - Answers Investigation receives a lot of media attention, which can be used to a positive PR advantage, especially in regard to the issue of underage drink sales. With our help, a campaign to tackle the issues of underage purchase will create positive PR, benefitting your company and demonstrating your organisation's responsible attitude.
Premises Licence Revoked
A persuading reason for instigating a programme with us is this extract from the minutes of Doncaster Licensing Committee on 11 April:

"That the licensing objective of prevention of children from harm can only be met by revocation"
