About VeriTrace Intelligence

VeriTrace Intelligence is a desk-based OSINT and fraud intelligence consultancy. We work exclusively from publicly available and lawfully obtained information — no pretexting, no surveillance, no covert access — to help clients verify who they're dealing with and make decisions they can defend.

Anthony Merrill — Founder
Tony spent his early career in the RAF, half of which was performing intelligence duties. Over the following three decades he worked in procurement, supply chain consulting and supplier intelligence — in central government, law enforcement, defence, and a wide range of private-sector clients both in the UK and overseas.

Vivienne Westwood — Co-Founder
Vivienne spent a decade as a VAT fraud investigator at HMRC and holds an LLB in law. Her background spans statutory casework, investigation and the legal frameworks that govern how evidence is gathered and used.
