Allianz Insurance selects MITIE for nationwide building repair

MITIE has secured a three-year contract to provide building repair services to Allianz Insurance customers nationwide. 

The FTSE 250 strategic outsourcing and energy services company will work with insurance customers seeking to outsource all, or part of, the management and delivery of domestic and commercial property insurance claims. 

This outsourced approach to building repair means that insurance claims can be handled efficiently and quickly, in line with customers’ policy requirements. 

Ian Guest, property claims supply manager at Allianz Insurance, said: “We were impressed with MITIE’s vision of how a repair network should and indeed could operate, coupled with the wealth of building services experience and expertise the wider group brought to the table. 

MITIE has been appointed to a panel of two networks, alongside MA Assist, and will work in conjunction with our surveyor led model provided by Imperial Consultants and BCS. 

We are extremely confident that MITIE will deliver exceptional service to our customers, which is our number one priority.” 

Wayne Felton, managing director of MITIE’s Property Solutions business said: “We’re delighted to work with Allianz Insurance to offer a highly efficient and cost-effective building repairs service. 

We are committed to delivering a high quality service to our customers and we look forward to supporting their policyholders.” 

MITIE will carry out a range of services including plastering and decorating, roof repairs and replacing damaged kitchens and bathrooms.

Notes for editors

What is MITIE?
We’re the strategic outsourcing company. What does that mean in practice? We manage facilities, properties and assets for our clients across the UK and beyond.

We work with our clients in three ways; some take full advantage of our whole range of expertise, others may only need one aspect of what we do:

Strategy and consultancy
+ Facilities and project management
+ Service delivery

Our strategic input can add value at the highest level by helping clients to manage their assets, while our practical management expertise can save customers money and reduce their carbon emissions. We work with a vast number of clients in every industry across both the public and private sectors and deliver the broadest range of services that can be found in one place: from integrated facilities management to engineering maintenance to lifecycle energy management and much more.

There’s a lot more to MITIE than you probably think. We’re a big company with big ambitions – a leading FTSE 250 support services business, with more than 61,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.9bn, and a reputation for being the best.
