Our Principles

Our Principles

We believe that when you instruct Wilson & Roe, you are entrusting us with your reputation and expect us to enforce to the best of our ability in a way that protects you and your client from risk.

Our team works seriously hard to deliver the results that our clients receive, but we recognise that at all times we are dealing with real people. In our execution of our duties we do not form opinions or make judgements in relation to the individuals that we encounter, and at all times, even under duress, we remain respectful.

We are acutely aware that by its nature, enforcement can be emotive and we have invested considerable effort in ensuring that we employ individuals with the necessary technical expertise complemented by the appropriate temperament.

Wilson & Roe delivers regular training in conflict management to ensure that our team is best placed to execute every instruction with the utmost care and attention.

Compliance is an important part of our everyday controls. We operate within the industry regulations and follow the guidelines issued by the High Court Enforcement Officers Association (HCEOA) and Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

We systematically review cases on a regular basis to ensure that we are delivering a service that will not compromise our morals or put at risk the integrity and reputation of our clients.

We believe that our approach to enforcement is in keeping with the ethos of our clients and is reflective of our professional and social responsibilities.

Our People

Our People

At Wilson & Roe, we believe our USP is our people. We are leaders in our industry and we employ the leaders.

When Andy Roe, who has been part of Wilson & Roe as co-founder since its inception in 2000, became majority owner in 2009, he made the decision to bring in Sarah Roscoe. Together, alongside Andrew Wilson as a Director, they have helped transform the company's service offering and raised the bar across the entire High Court Enforcement industry.

Andrew Wilson has long been among the most respected authorities on enforcement in England and Wales. As a qualified solicitor, Andrew is also on hand to advise our Enforcement Agents on how to manage complex situations, disputes and oppositions as they arise.

From director and management level, through to admin, we invest in the development of those working in all areas of our business. We feel that having such highly skilled people across the board makes us unique and allows us to deliver the best service and results to our clients.

We have used the services of most enforcement companies over the years with mixed results. What sets Wilson & Roe apart is the comprehensive way in which they handle the execution of a warrant.

Many enforcers will just report (for example) 'visited the address, no sign of subject, notice left'. This does nothing to assist us in deciding whether to continue the execution or consider other enforcement methods.

Wilson & Roe on the other hand provide detailed reports on Judgment Debtor, description of subject property with ownership details where applicable, vehicles on site with DVLA checks and any other relevant data. They will even look for alternative addresses in the vicinity. This enables us to make an informed decision about the way forward. Their Officers are backed up by an administration team which is professional, efficient and friendly.
