Fire investigation company GKA Investigations Group has merged with “factual investigators” Thomas King & Associates.

Thomas King Principal Bob King says uniting the two under the GKA banner creates a “natural fit”.  

“The merger provides access to a greater pool of resources and will personally allow me much more time to focus on my passion for professional investigation processes,” Mr King said.

GKA owner Greg Kelly says he is keen to team up with Mr King, whose 40 years of experience as an investigator began in the scientific section and arson squad of NSW Police.

“We operate in a very specialist niche, in which there are very few people who can offer anywhere near Bob’s level of experience and expertise,” Mr Kelly said. 

“Bob will not only extend our capacity to take on major investigations, he will also play an important mentoring role, guiding the next generation of investigators.”

GKA has been operating since 1997 and offers a national service that determines the causes of fire and evaluates fraud, liability and recovery ramifications.

It works with some of the largest insurance companies and insurance specialist law firms in Australia.
