Company

Since 2015 we have been part of the Van Ameyde Group of companies, Europe’s market leader in international claims management. This gives our clients access to additional services as required. Through Van Ameyde’s Marine & Industry division, we have access to European wide expertise in all marine insurance claims handling services as well as loss prevention marine consultancy and operational and technical surveys.

All our income is generated from loss adjusting and claims handling, not from affiliated contractor networks, which means we will make decisions in your best interests, not ours. This really sets us apart from the rest of the market. You can trust that we will charge a fair fee for a proper, technical, non-conflicted validation of the claim. But more than this, our unique business model means that our focus is on ensuring your claims spend is fully aligned and in accordance with policy coverage.

We have one of the highest ratios of qualified personnel in the profession including an internal claims handling team which is based at our head office to provide a range of desktop and TPA services. Our staff retention rate says a lot about the type of business we are. We have created a culture to help ensure our people are happy and fulfilled in their roles. This, in turn, has enabled us to forge strong relationships with our clients in order to best serve their individual needs.

There is no room at Woodgate & Clark for a one size fits all approach. Our management team has a wide range of experience and expertise gained over many years in the industry and is passionate about providing the best possible service for our clients. The passion for service excellence starts with our senior executive team at Woodgate & Clark – a team which comprises decades of experience in commercial loss adjusting and which shares a drive to deliver real value to our clients.
