Informed Outcomes is led by a CEO who transitioned into intelligence and risk mitigation in 2004 after an 18-year career in investigative journalism, during which they broke some agenda-setting public interest stories, including:

• in 1990, proving that a man called Russell Bishop, who had been acquitted in 1987 of murdering two young children, was in fact guilty and his girlfriend, Jennifer Johnson, had lied to police and committed perjury at his Crown Court trial to aid his acquittal. 28 years later, in 2018, after a change to the double jeopardy law, the pair were convicted at separate trials and received two life sentences and six years imprisonment, respectively. The evidence which secured their convictions centred on forensics and alibis which our CEO first revealed held the key to proof in their original investigation, published in The Sunday People in 1990.

• obtaining the keys to London’s high security HMP Wormwood Scrubs prison from a corrupt warder, Haydn Southam. This led to the emergency replacement of all of the locks within the prison at a then cost in 1994 of GBP £750,000 and the trial and imprisonment of Mr Southam.
