Bericon has provided first class forensic science consultancy and Our Services to the legal profession and other organisations for nearly 30 years and is probably the oldest independent forensic consultancy organisation of its type in the UK. In fact, we will be celebrating our 30th Birthday in 2012.
Formed in 1982, the company worked from a Nottingham base until 2004 when it was bought by its current Managing Director, About Us.
At that time, the core business revolved around the provision of Chemistry but as part of a new direction Bericon began to diversify and now aims to present a "one stop shop" for forensic science whether that involve alcohol calculations, blood pattern analysis, DNA, drugs, fingerprints, electronic tags (PIDS), gunshot or firearms residues, handwriting, glass, footwear marks or any of the more unusual forensic specialities .
The business now operates from premises in Stoke on Trent making it ideally placed geographically to accept instructions from across the UK. Alongside the head office facility the business is supported by a team of consultants each providing expertise in a defined area of science.
Our intention is to make Bericon your first choice for forensic consultancy by offering a fast, friendly and efficient service. There are so many occasions when forensic evidence is presented by the Prosecution which leaves solicitors wondering whether to pursue a defence of it. So if it's an immediate instruction or whether its just informal advice you require, Bericon is here to help.
Why we're Different
The need to produce informative and readable reports is a vital aspect of forensic evidence. Although many cases just involve the presentation of analytical data such as the weight and purity of a Drugs Analysis Service, there are many other cases when it's a matter of subjective opinion.
Bericon don't aim to create contention in their case reviews. If there's no defence case from a forensic perspective, then we believe that it's best to say so.
We aim to cut-through a lot of the scientific jargon and present to our clients a report that not only offers technical commentary but gives a succinct view of any forensic evidence.
To help this process, ALL of our reporting scientists have professional membership in their respective disciplines. In addition, here are just a few of our personal, professional and corporate memberships:
