Mystery shopping specialist in the shopping basket of ID and compliance testing group

Storecheckers, the Altrincham-based mystery shopping and compliance auditing company which supports clients with services across the globe, has been acquired, for an undisclosed sum.

London-based Serve Legal, a provider of ID and compliance testing, has completed the deal, which it says will expand its audit and mystery shopping service offering.

Storecheckers has a 30-year track record of supporting businesses which Serve Legal says will deliver industry-leading solutions for the wider business.

Ed Heaver, Serve Legal CEO, said: “Storecheckers has a strong reputation for delivering high value, in depth operational compliance and mystery shopping insight, and we are thrilled to bring their talent into the Serve Legal family.

“Together, we will continue to drive innovation and offer enhanced services to our clients.”

Jeff Caplan, Storecheckers managing director, said: “The Storecheckers team is delighted to be joining forces with Serve Legal, the UK leader in compliance and verification audits.

“We are excited to be part of the future development of Storecheckers under the Serve Legal umbrella, expanding the brilliant services we offer to businesses”

Serve Legal said the integration process will begin immediately, and it will work closely with the Storecheckers team to ensure a smooth transition for employees, customers, and partners.

Both companies will benefit from synergies in audit delivery, technology and industry expertise which will accelerate growth and create new opportunities in the compliance auditing market.
