§01 — Independent motor claims advisory

Senior commercial, strategy and transformation advisory for UK motor insurers.

Independent counsel on third-party indemnity cost, credit hire and credit repair strategy, litigation and legal-panel governance, supplier and commercial outcomes, and claims operating-model improvement — scoped, conflict-checked, and free of any insurer retainer.

Reducing what motor insurers pay to put someone else’s world back together.

Engagements are taken on when the practice is open to new work, and scoped accordingly.

§02 — Track record

25+ YEARS UK motor claims — from operations and negotiation through senior strategy leadership across indemnity, third-party and credit hire & repair
MULTI-INSURER Successive senior strategy roles owning third-party cost direction, commercial negotiations, protocol outcomes and executive recommendations
LEAD SME Defined workstreams on major motor claims redesigns — TPC, credit hire defence, litigation and recoveries — not overall programme ownership
MARKET DEPTH Senior relationships across CHOs, panel law firms, BHR and evidence suppliers, and industry technical forums
INDEPENDENT No current insurer retainer; every engagement conflict-checked and scoped before it begins

Described in deliberately general terms to protect the confidentiality the role requires. Further detail on background and track record available on request, under NDA where appropriate. Outcomes referenced qualitatively only.

§03 — Expertise

Where the depth sits

A senior commercial, strategy and transformation capability with unusually deep credit hire, litigation and supplier-governance specialism — not a narrow single-line consultancy.

Credit hire & credit repair strategy

Protocol agreements, CHO engagement, legal-panel process versus litigious adversaries, and operating models that hold mitigation at volume.

TPI / motor claims cost strategy

End-to-end third-party cost diagnosis, lever maps and executive recommendations that keep indemnity outcomes ahead of inflation year on year.

Commercial negotiation & dispute resolution

Complex commercial negotiations, major debt and portfolio settlements, and supplier outcomes that protect the indemnity line.

Litigation strategy & legal panel governance

Litigation posture, panel effectiveness against litigious CHOs, and the interface between strategy and day-to-day legal delivery.

Supplier / protocol / outsourcing governance

Scale protocol design, supplier performance frameworks and outsourcing arrangements that survive contact with volume.

Claims transformation & operating-model design

Scoped redesign input as lead SME on defined cost-line workstreams — TPC, intervention, credit hire defence, litigation, recoveries automation.

Claims analytics / MI-led performance challenge

MI and analytics that surface where cost is moving, challenge performance, and give executives something they can act on.

Applied AI for claims workflow & analysis

Practical advisory on agentic workflows and analysis aids for claims leaders — capability framing, not ownership of an insurer AI programme.

§04 — Network

Relationships built over decades, not a cold introduction

Long-standing working relationships across every side of the third-party and credit hire market — people who take the call, not names on a list. That network sits behind every engagement, not just the advice itself. Specific firms and individuals are kept confidential, in line with those relationships.

  • Senior claims, indemnity and strategy leadership across the UK’s major motor insurers
  • Chief executives and managing partners of the UK’s largest credit hire organisations
  • The panel law firms that litigate and defend credit hire and third-party claims at scale
  • BHR, data, engineering and hire-rate evidence suppliers to the sector
  • Industry-body, GTA-community and technical-committee contacts shaping how credit hire is regulated and practised

§05 — Advisory lines

Where the mandate sits

Credit hire & credit repair strategy reviews
Playbooks and operating reviews covering protocol posture, CHO engagement, mitigation at volume, and the legal-panel interface — including experience building non-GTA capability from scratch where the book required it.
TPI / third-party cost diagnostics
Where a motor book’s third-party cost sits, which levers actually move it, and a clear map for executive action — capture, duration, rate, litigation mix and supplier outcomes.
Protocol, supplier & commercial negotiation
Support on scale protocol agreements, supplier governance and complex commercial negotiations — including major debt and portfolio settlements — without compromising claim integrity.
Litigation posture & legal-panel challenge
Where litigation is adding cost without adding outcome; how panel strategy, Part 36 discipline and conduct against litigious CHOs change that.
Operating-model & process redesign
Scoped reviews and lead-SME input on claims cost-line redesign — TPC and priority capture, intervention, credit hire defence, litigation and recoveries — not ownership of the wider programme.
Analytics / MI interpretation
Reading the MI that matters, rebuilding the metrics that don’t, and turning performance challenge into decisions executives will back.
Board & executive papers
Indemnity, mitigation and commercial strategy written for a Risk, Audit or Exec committee — not a claims file.
Interim strategic cover & second opinions
Short, defined pieces of work — a benchmarking review, a strategy reset, cover through a gap, an independent second opinion — rather than an open-ended programme.
Applied AI for claims leaders
Practical enablement on workflow design and analysis aids — framed as advisory capability for claims and strategy teams, not as delivery of an insurer AI programme.

§06 — How this works

Advisory, by design

This is a strategic advisory practice, not a delivery vehicle. Engagements are scoped, time-bound and independent — a review, a paper, a second opinion, a defined project — rather than ownership of a programme or a team. Available directly or through retained advisory networks. No current insurer retainer; conflicts are checked and declared before any engagement is confirmed.

§07 — Get in touch

Make an enquiry

Enquiries are handled directly and in confidence.

When the practice is taking work, engagements are scoped and conflict-checked before anything proceeds.
