Operating throughout England & Wales with a national network of experienced Enforcement Officers, dbs is delivering a wide range of tailored pre-enforcement and enforcement bailiff services, to a national and international portfolio of commercial property corporations.


The experience behind dbs is supported by the founder member of Crellins Limited, a previously established leading Commercial Rent Certificated Bailiff business in the industry, before being acquired in 2005.


Today, dbs is the new leading name in the commercial property market-place for the collection of commercial rent arrears, working with many of the UK nationals as well as local authorities and independent landlords.
