McLarens expands in Midlands with new Nottingham office

A global loss adjuster has opened a new office in Nottingham.

McLarens has opened the office to boost their Midlands offering, with Paul Durham, an adjuster with 16 years experience (eight with McLarens), moving from the Birmingham office to head up the new team as regional manager for the East Midlands and Anglia.

Birmingham’s Pat Dunworth, who joined McLarens in 2012 and has 21 years experience in the loss adjusting field, has also been promoted to regional manager for the West Midlands. Both moves are in conjunction with the retirement of Andrew Dear who moves into a consultancy role with the adjuster after 10 years managing McLarens’ Midlands business.  

The Nottingham operation is McLarens’ 17th office in the UK and Ireland and is located at 15 Wheeler Gate, Nottingham, NG1 2NA.

Graham Smart, managing director for UK and Europe, commented: “Such has been success of our Midlands team, that it was a natural step to expand our footprint in the region. Nottingham has a distinct and vibrant insurance market and is a city in which we are already very active. Both Paul and Pat are impressive, ambitious adjusters with long careers ahead of them and are well respected by local insurers and brokers. They’ve both worked closely with Andrew Dear in the development of our Midlands business and are natural successors in this respect. We’re delighted to retain Andrew in a consultancy capacity. His contribution to McLarens over the past decade has been highly valued and he will no doubt continue to contribute to the growth of our business.”
