Carmichaels reforms as Argent Property Adjusters

Property adjusters Carmichaels has become Argent Property Adjusters with immediate effect, as part of the integration of Parabis’ adjusting businesses.

Argent Adjusters will now comprise two divisions - Argent Liability Adjusters and Argent Property Adjusters.

The new company will be led by Keith Curling, who is currently managing director of Carmichaels. It will continue to service its clients from offices in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol and Maidstone, specialising in high value and complex claims in the property arena, involving both commercial and domestic property, major and complex losses, business interruption and environmental claims.

This follows a number of recent hires, including Nigel Lambert and Chris Sheard from Garwyns and the launch of a new major, complex and speciality loss practice last year.

Argent Liability Adjusters managing director Neil Ventris said: “The conversion of Carmichaels to the new Argent Property Adjusters brand has been a natural evolution flowing from the integration of Carmichaels into the Group. Carmichaels has been a quality brand in the market. We believe now combining property and liability adjusting under the single Argent name will strengthen our market position and give us a better platform for business growth.”

Curling said: “This step demonstrates the value of being part of the Parabis Group. For our existing clients, it will be business as usual with the same high quality service and expertise from our adjusters but this development provides momentum to build for the future.”
