Vericlaim has ambition in UK corporate and complex adjusting market

Merlin's former head of property, Mike Bond, has joined VRS Vericlaim, the loss adjusting business confirmed today.

At Merlin, Bond handled a number of high profile and high value losses, including several major cases arising out to the Buncefield incident.

Bond said: “I am keenly aware of the client's perspective, of how to design and deliver bespoke services and maintain pragmatic relationships, and I’m impressed with vrs Vericlaim’s ‘Best of Breed’ approach and aspiration to be a ‘best place to learn’ company."

VRS Vericlaim managing director, Stewart Steel, added: “Without doubt, a corporate and complex adjusting business such as ours requires the talents of high profile market experts.

"Mike’s technical skills, market knowledge and relationships are a perfect fit with our existing team.”

Steel led Vericlaim's buy-out of loss adjusters Teceris from Capita in December 2009.
