Cunningham Lindsey & BLM launch claims service

Loss adjustor Cunningham Lindsey and insurance law firm BLM have united to launch a new claims service, Profecta.

Profecta will offer loss adjusting, claims and litigation services while covering casualty, motor and property lines of business, in addition to professional indemnity.

Mark Gilbert, client partnerships director at Cunningham Lindsey, said: “Cunningham Lindsey and BLM have worked for mutual clients for many years.  We received such a positive response to our market research that we have formalised and refocused the service with the creation of Profecta which will deliver faster settlements, cost savings and efficiencies for clients.

“The objective is to combine skills and know-how of two market leaders across a broad spread of classes of business, and deliver the right person, at the right time to save time and money.”

Vivienne Williams, partner and head of claims solutions at BLM, added: “Claims handling will always involve a number of parties. Bringing the service together, with a single point of contact, creates a much more efficient service – particularly in terms of early stage assessments, fraud detection and more streamlined processes. Insurers, brokers and corporate buyers all understand the benefits – financial and reputational – that excellent and more efficient claims handling can bring to their business.

“By creating an integrated service, Profecta provides vital benefits at a time when the market is more competitive than ever.”

In a joint statement about the approach, Mike Brown, senior partner at BLM and Phil McNeilage, chief executive officer at Cunningham Lindsey: “We are giving our clients, customers and the wider market more opportunities and choice to consider the way their claims are managed.

“Profecta has been developed as an additional offering to the work we are currently doing with many of our risk and insurance clients and customers. This is an exciting proposition from BLM and Cunningham Lindsey which has already been well received by many of our clients and customers. We look forward to expanding the services offered under the Profecta brand.”
