The specialist property adjusters Carmichaels, which has been part of the Parabis Group since 2010, becomes Argent Property Adjusters with effect from 1st June. Argent Adjusters will now comprise two divisions – Argent Liability Adjusters and Argent Property Adjusters, as Parabis’ integration of its adjusting businesses continues.
Argent Property Adjusters will be led by Keith Curling, who is currently Managing Director of Carmichaels. It will continue to service its expanding client base 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.
The news comes hot on the heels of a raft 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.
Neil Ventris, Managing Director of Argent Liability Adjusters, commented: “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.”
Keith Curling, Managing Director of Argent Property Adjusters, 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.”
