MITIE enters the property insurance claims market

MITIE, the strategic outsourcing company, is pleased to announce its entrance into the Property Insurance Claims market, with the launch of MITIE Property Solutions. 

Controlling and managing insurance claims requires considerable expertise. MITIE’s new service allows the whole process to be managed, from start to finish. Supported by a team of experts, including customer service, surveying, repair, and compliance professionals, MITIE will ensure that claims keep moving and that customers get the right outcomes. 

Ruby McGregor-Smith, Chief Executive, MITIE, commented: “This is an exciting new development for MITIE. We see the Insurance Claims Market as a logical step forward for the Group given our extensive experience in the building, maintenance and insurance sectors. With our new offering we can deliver reduced costs, shorter completion times, and seamless customer service.” 

MITIE Property Solutions brings together the strength of MITIE’s infrastructure and financial base with technical expertise and experience, resulting in MITIE’s innovative surescope™ process. 

The surescope™ process uses specialist expertise to manage the key drivers of claims costs - validation, scope, settlement route and repair management. Responsibility for the claim is retained by MITIE throughout the life of the insurance claim and customers are proactively supported. This approach results in a reduced claims cycle, lower costs and increased customer satisfaction, as well as, a guarantee that covers all the repair work.

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 56,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.7bn, and a reputation for being the best.
