Teceris, the market leading, loss-adjusting expert, has today launched a new liability business which will provide, uniquely, a single liability claims solution to the marketplace.

Teceris Liability Services, which will be headed up by Teceris partner Phil Heron, will combine Teceris’ Corporate and Complex Adjusting’s existing expertise in liability – which constitutes around a quarter of their business – and a new, seamless solution which combines desktop services, core loss adjusting, complex loss adjusting and the added industry expertise of Steve Ford and Matt Brooker, formerly of Garwyn, as directors of the business.

Specialist teams in the new business include: 
•           complex and major loss, including catastrophic injury;
•           adjusting and claims handling
•           disease claims
•           desktop services for high volume clients
•           specialist services including professional indemnity and environmental.

Phil Heron commented: “Our principal focus will be the provision of a quality technical service, proportionate to the value and complexity of the claim. To achieve that we will operate to a policy of technical best practice, backed up, in case of complex losses by our QCCL (Quality Control of Complex Loss) procedures. Steve and Matt’s extensive expertise and experience will ensure that we build on an already credible liability proposition. Engaged as external advisers last spring they came to see the high quality, technical focused and integrated solution we were building as an ideal liability company and I am delighted they have decided to join us in leading the business on a permanent basis.”
 
Stewart Steel, managing director of the Teceris suite of businesses, added: “Every single day companies, large and small, face the issue of protecting their brand and reputation in the market place. Teceris’ liability specialists help organisations manage their liability risk effectively, swiftly and professionally.  As with all the other Teceris businesses the launch of Teceris Liability Services reflects a specific need identified in the market.  It’s a further example of a solution that continues our drive to become partner and employer of choice to the claims industry.”
