EVERY ACTION LEAVES A FOOTPRINT
LEAD INVESTIGATION

LOOK CLOSER.

News, investigations, business intelligence, inconvenient facts and the occasional public execution of a terrible excuse.

There are plenty of websites dedicated to telling you how wonderful everybody is.

This isn’t one of them.

Footprint looks at businesses, directors, organisations, public records, disputes, failures, extraordinary claims, questionable behaviour and the general parade of nonsense that makes commercial life more entertaining than it has any right to be.

Sometimes we find something useful. Sometimes we find something ridiculous. Occasionally we find a rat.

We publish what we can evidence.
Then we have some fun with it.

EVIDENCE REVIEWED

PEOPLE LEAVE FOOTPRINTS.

Companies do too. Directors leave them. Bad decisions leave them.

Insolvencies, appointments, resignations, accounts, court cases, websites, deleted promises, abandoned companies and magnificent pieces of corporate bullshit all leave traces.

We look. Our readers tell us where to look.
And when something deserves attention, we give it some.
