A company that is growing fast, thanks to its skill in tracking down missing beneficiaries and long lost family members, has used some of its research expertise to find itself a new home. HeirHunter UK, set up by husbandand-wife team Fraser and Tracy Kinnie, is now based in the Innovation Centre on Hartlepool’s Queens Meadow Business Park, run by UK Steel Enterprise. The team’s success has, in less than a year, seen HeirHunter UK move from being home-based to the Innovation Centre to accommodate a five-strong team and provide the space and facilities it needs to expand further. Another two team members are expected to join the company by the beginning of 2016. HeirHunter UK expects to have dealt with more than 200 separate claims, involving tracing missing beneficiaries to unclaimed estates, by the end of this year.
