Hi

Wow! 2020 What a year! Who could have imagined the strange, dramatic and unknown times we have seen?

Just imagine if we had suggested at last year’s conference that at some point in the coming months the claims world would:

• Relocate nearly all staff to working effectively from home (Insurers and suppliers)

• Manage the technical systems to allow home working

• Remove policyholders from hotels overnight as they all shut

• Support those in the process (both personnel and businesses) to manage through lockdown and beyond

• Gain greater understanding of each other’s business challenges as many suppliers had to down tools

• Operate a gradual and geographically different reopening

• Utilise technical and other innovations to help claimants deal with the restrictions of the pandemic

Yet, we all did this plus more. The amazing stories we have heard from colleagues about the way they have coped, adapted and helped policy holders have warmed our hearts.

At ILC we held more than twenty Home Claims Webinars over the year to promote communication, discussion, problem solving, aiding process and insurer supplier understanding, wellbeing, and of course adapting.

Of course, we can’t meet as normal this year for our conference, so we are running Home Claims Week to allow us to continue supporting each other as we move forward.

The theme is 2020 – Adapting, Learning and Changing.

As always, we are going to be better tomorrow from what we learn today – and never has that been so apt.

In line with many of the issues raised during the year by the hundreds of you who joined our webinars, we have four main areas to address, one each afternoon. We will also be broadcasting some lighter podcasts each morning with industry experts.

And of course, we must say a huge thanks to all our sponsors and partners as their support enables us to broadcast this free.

Claims Consortium Group are the headline sponsors for the 6th year in a row. Thanks for your support. Also thanks to Sedgwick, Corroventa Ltd, Geobear, Service Certainty, Safeline Environmental, SCI Salvage and SCI Large & Complex Loss. As well as our loyal corporate partners, ICAB, SightCall, Carpenters Group, Innovation Group, CoreLogic and Synergy.

We will be sharing recordings of the sessions so even if you miss the initial broadcast, you’ll be able to catch up later.

Thanks again for being part of the ILC Community and for all the fantastic work you have done this year in such difficult and unpredictable conditions. Claims people do great work!

Let me know what you think of Home Claims Week!

Asbestos Removal & ManagementSafeline is located centrally in the UK enabling us to be able to offer your business a nationwide service. We work with all sectors, from small domestic works to large multinational and public sector works. We were set up by analysts Chris and Matt. They wanted an asbestos removal company who they’d be happy to work with if they were still analysts and more importantly, one they’d be happy to have work for them, if they were clients. They wanted to get away from the traditional asbestos removal company and offer one that made the customer central. They succeeded, the majority of our works are repeat business or by recommendation.

There are key things that we think make our business more customer friendly: • Our staff are employed, we do not use labour agencies, we want our staff to have the stability of a full-time job and wage. We train them from scratch to make sure they have the knowledge of the subject, they can let you know what they are doing, how they are doing and why they are doing it. They then have a personal reason to make sure that our customers are happy; and our removal jobs are successful.

• Our staff are uniformed, our vans our liveried

• Our paperwork all available on tablets, this means that if you have any questions on licenses, training, DBS, equipment records we can show you immediately

It isn’t only the weather that we are prepared for. The past year has proven that whatever challenges arise ICAB are equipped to deal with them. As a one stop accommodation shop ICAB

prides itself on improving the customer journey by listening and providing the accommodation type that is most convenient and

cost effective throughout the lifecycle of the claim. Not only do we supply everything from short term hotel accommodation to long

term rental accommodation as well as a full suite of ICAB PODs, but we also advance the funds on behalf of the insurer. Whatever the

accommodation requirement we can keep the clients head covered!
