About

Enquirer Media is an independent publisher of true crime, organised crime and the social history of modern Britain. We started on YouTube as Enquirer 2.0, telling the stories the mainstream often gets second-hand or skips entirely, and the audience came quickly. The channel has passed 25 million views and become one of the most trusted independent voices on Britain's underworld.

That trust comes from how we work. We deal directly with the people closest to the events: those who lived them, those who policed them, and those who reported them at the time. We check what we are told. Where the record disagrees with the story, we say so. Where a question still hangs over a case, we leave it open.

What we cover

Organised crime in Britain from the post-war years to the present. The firms, the families, the rivalries and the truces. The regional cities as much as London. The rave years and the doors that controlled them. Trafficking, prison politics, informants, and the lives that were rebuilt or never recovered. Social history, where it meets the story we are telling.

Publishing

Our first book, Gangland Rave Wars: Manchester Lit the Fuse, is published this year. It is the start of a list that takes the same care over a book that we bring to everything on the channel.

Research

The research operation behind the channel and the books is available to hire. We take on commissions for film and television companies, broadcasters, publishers and journalists. More on research and commissions.
