Get to know Driven Forensics
Nick - Driven Forensics • 7 January 2024

Who are we and where did we start?

Driven Forensics launched in late 2023, as a single practitioner collision investigation consultancy, specialising in forensic vehicle inspection. Prior to launching the consultancy, Nick, the company’s founder, spent just under two decades in various investigative roles with the Police, where he spent the last six years specialising in forensic collision investigation. In that time, he was the lead collision investigator for hundreds of collisions including life-threatening and fatal collisions, collisions involving emergency services vehicles, high-profile collisions as well as incidents where vehicles were used as a weapon including murder.


After leaving the Police, he spent some time working for one of the world’s leading not-for-profit transport and research companies as a collision investigation consultant, providing expert advice on criminal and civil investigations, before leaving and launching his own consultancy.


We are a new consultancy, but one which has extensive experience in our field. We specialise in forensic vehicle inspection and the retrieval and analysis of digital data.
