Harris merge with Balcombe to lead the claims market
Two of the most established firms within the insurance claims profession, Harris Claims Group and Balcombe Group are delighted to announce that they have merged to form a major new partnership, Harris Balcombe LLP.
Both companies have pedigrees dating back over 5 generations and have been at the forefront of claims management since long before most of today’s providers were formed. The new partnership aims to leverage the combined resources and expertise of both groups to bring substantially enhanced benefits to policyholders, brokers and other professional intermediaries.
Commenting on the deal, Paul Lawrence, a partner in the new venture, said "As two of the foremost claims providers in the country we aim to capitalise on our complimentary business activities and regional representation to provide by far the best service across our client base. This merger is something that I have envisaged for sometime and is in the best interests of clients, staff and other stakeholders"
Partner and former Balcombe Chairman and CEO, Nick Balcombe, added "It is important to us that a dedicated and high quality service continues to be provided for all existing and future clients. This merger ensures that in today’s complex and litigious insurance claims market, our clients can rely on our proven and bespoke expertise as the UK’s pre-eminent claim recovery specialists."
The partnership has adopted a new ‘green shoots’ brand, representing not only the birth and growth of the new venture, but also our total commitment to the recovery of all our clients when facing disaster.
