Geoff Dolan
021471579 I geoff@veritas.nz
Life has come full circle for Geoff. While applying for the Police Force more than 40 years ago, another opportunity stepped forward, one that Geoff couldn’t resist.
With a change of circumstances due to Covid, Geoff was forced to “pivot” again and when Veritas Director Dave Pizzini asked if he’d be interested in joining the team as a Primeserve Agent Geoff jumped at the chance.
Veritas could see Geoff's potential as an investigator and in 2022 asked Geoff if he was interested. Geoff couldn’t say yes fast enough.
Geoff has proved to be a natural investigativor with an inquisitive instinct and a love of the chase.
Geoff continues to develop under the tutelage of Dave and Richard, as well as participating in external training and professional development to add more skills to his toolbox.
​
Geoff can undertake a wide range of investigations and both Richard & Dave continue to provide their bank of experience to him.
​
Geoff joins Veritas at a time when it is expanding both in geographical locations and personnel
