Click to expand / retract story brief
Elite Incident Management today announced the launch of their prestige repair network.

The network consists of 40 repairers across the UK, approved by marques such as Bentley, Aston Martin, Porshe, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz and Land Rover.

Philip da Silva, Chief Executive Officer at Elite, comments: "At Elite, Customer Service and Quality are everything. That means matching the right repairer to each job. Like many Prestige cars, the new Jaguar XG launched today is made using a highly sophisticated aluminium alloy. This gives enchanced performance and fuel efficiency, but means that it can only be repaired in specialist bodyshops. Our data shows an increasing number of Prestige Car Owners and Insurers who require a well-managed prestige network."

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - Elite Incident Management believes ‘Copley’ ruling is a good result for insurerspdf icon

Click to expand / retract story brief
Elite Incident Management believes the Copley ruling is a good result for insurers.

The Insurance Times ran with the headline ‘Credit Hire Association hails ruling as "big win" for CHOs’. To the contrary, Jon Crawley, Claims Manager at Elite believes the Helphire’s victory is a hollow one. “The argument of mitigation is still very much alive and in fact it has now just become much easier for the insurer to present”, he says.

Although not surprised by the ruling, Crawley does believe the entirely reasonable settlement here was to pay the CHO at the rates that KGM would have achieved under their intervention programme.

Elite Incident Management has today announced that Repairers within the Elite Repair Network who have not worked towards BSi PAS125 Kitemark accreditation will no longer be part of the Elite Repair Network.

Almost 50% of their Repair Network are now fully BSi PAS125 accredited. The remainder must have BSi PAS125 accreditation by the end of 2009 and Elite has worked closely with BSi to fully support Repairers through the process.

Clive Rolfe, Accident Management Director at Elite Incident Management says: “At Elite, we are completely focussed on quality of repair and firmly support BSi PAS125. We believe BSI PAS125 is a means of demonstrating quality and we are delighted that the majority of the 130 Repairers within our Network have achieved, or are currently working towards achieving accreditation. However, those repairers who have decided not to apply will now be replaced with BSi PAS125 accredited Repairers.”
