International law firm DAC Beachcroft and Innovation Group have joined forces to offer an extended motor claims handling service.

Under the new arrangement, Innovation Group will provide first notification of loss (FNOL) and repair management services, while DAC Beachcroft’s motor claims team will handle the claims.  The two organisations will tender jointly to secure new claims handling work.

Chris Charles, director of Strategic Programmes at DAC Beachcroft said: “Our motor claims handling team has worked with various FNOL suppliers over the last two years but we felt the time was right to create a closer relationship with Innovation Group. 

“Although this is early days, we are confident that being able to offer a more integrated claims handling solution for clients will give us a competitive advantage in a marketplace where demands are constantly changing.  Innovation Group is a highly respected and experienced supplier of FNOL services and we’re looking forward to working with them on future bids.
 
Ian Bowen, sales and marketing director at Innovation Group, added: “We’re committed to providing efficient and relevant commercial models to our clients. It’s no secret that insurers are facing tougher challenges than ever before; new risks and audiences. We need to be sure that we’re continuing to innovate so that our customers can stay ahead of the game. This partnership with DAC Beachcroft is another leap toward fulfilling these commitments. It provides insurers with more efficient claims processes and ultimately lowers the cost of claims.
