Insurance and warranty scheme provider The Regency Group has acquired emergency response service Disaster Restoration Ltd (DRL) to sit within its Regency@Home business.

Regency@Home operates an independent network of upholstery and furniture repairers, and carpet and fabric cleaners, and bases its work on warranty and insurance related claims.

DRL provides an emergency response service to individuals who are victims of fire, flood, water, and malicious and accidental damage.

Regency Group managing director Ged Dempsey said: "The service DRL provides is sold to the domestic household insurance market, water authorities, local authorities and housing associations, and therefore fits very well with Regency@Home."
