About Target

Established in 1988, Target Professional Services is an industry leader in corporate and personal trace solutions for pension schemes, financial services, legal agencies, and individuals.

Our innovative services help reduce the liability of inaccurate records, help save time, and are always cost-effective. The quality of our work has been proven time and again, not least of all by the fact that with many clients, we have helped pension schemes surpass the Pension Regulators 2012 95% accuracy directive on common data.

Target offers personal, bespoke solutions, and yet 'bespoke' does not have to mean 'expensive'. Whether you are an international corporation or an individual looking to be re-united with an estranged friend or loved one, we work with each client to develop a project that suits your needs. This means we can ensure the best quality results for the best cost. We take our client safety seriously too, which is why we offer a free encrypted service for the secure transfer of data as standard. We do not ask for commitment to a contractual period, and are confident that if our trace investigators are unable to locate someone, then no-one else will.

Target enjoys a great friendly and fun team in a well appointed office.
