As part of the transaction, Certo's team of 70 colleagues,
operating from offices in Leeds,
Birmingham, Glasgow and Brentwood, will join vrs
VeriClaim. Certo Managing Director David
Harrison will oversee the new VeriClaim TPA business in the
UK.
"Like vrs VeriClaim, Certo is a leader in the handling of
corporate and commercial claims, and we are delighted that
David Harrison and his colleagues
are joining our growing business," said Stewart Steel, vrs VeriClaim managing director.
"Our two companies share a similar heritage, and our management
teams have always had immense mutual respect for one another.
"In addition to providing a first-class, traditional loss
adjusting service, Certo has developed a successful TPA operation
and is a highly valued partner to leading players in the
London market. The expansion of
our current TPA capabilities aligns nicely with VeriClaim's and
Sedgwick's strategic development plans," Steel said.
On behalf of Certo, Harrison said, "This is a great opportunity
for our colleagues and our clients. Certo and VeriClaim share the
same customer-focused ethos, and by joining forces we will create a
compelling offering for existing and new clients with niche or
higher-capacity technical claims handling requirements."
