The specialist adjuster, which last year became part of global loss adjusting group McLarens, has expanded its leadership team with the formation of a board of Executive Directors consisting of senior qualified loss adjusters from across the business. In addition, a number of new senior management roles have been announced. By doing so, Agrical will broaden management responsibilities across its senior team, developing an internal structure which better reflects the business’ regional footprint and ensuring that, as it grows, clients continue to receive a high level of service from senior-level industry experts.

Mike Collins, Agrical Managing Director, commented: “This issomething that we have been looking at since our merger with McLarens, with the aim of strengthening and broadening our senior management team to make better use of the talented individuals we have at Agrical. It is important that we have the structures and processes in place as we grow, allowing us to continue to provide clients with the highest level of service and expertise.
