Managing Director
Loyal, Focused, and Respectful
Everyone who meets Tamzin knows her by the energy she brings to a room. Always welcoming and genuinely interested in getting to know others, her warmth has a big presence throughout the operation of Staff Checks. These qualities alone make her an exceptional company co- founder - however, they are merely the surface of what she brings to her role.
Tamzin works passionately to make the hiring process easier and a truly positive experience for employers. And when she’s not working on Staff Checks? You’ll find Tamzin riding and training her horses, spending quality time with friends and family, or taking care of herself and Dan’s lifestyle block.
Chief Executive Officer
Enthusiastic, reliable and experienced
Dan has been devoted to helping others throughout his entire working career. Determined to make a difference, he began his career by working for the New Zealand Police Criminal Investigation branch. During this time he found his genuine passion for investigating which led him in 1979 to become one of NZs first licensed Private Investigators.
For decades onward he founded and managed investigation and security companies across Australia and New Zealand. But this success wasn’t the end for him. After hearing about a death which could’ve been avoided had the person’s caregiver been background checked, he and his wife, Tamzin, took it upon themselves to look at current solutions for background checking.
"Trust but verify"
Workplace integrity is at the heart of what we strive to achieve and through our background checks we encourage the famous dictum "Trust but verify".
