Catalyst marks 10-year milestone with ILC partnership deal

Catalyst Services UK has agreed to become a corporate partner of I Love Claims, the forum for professionals and businesses in the insurance industry.

The 12-month commitment will raise Catalyst’s profile in the insurance sector and create new opportunities to contribute to a range of face-to-face and digital industry events.

Trusted industry supporter

Catalyst Managing Director and Founder Brad Jackson said: “Catalyst is marking 10 years in business in 2024, so this felt like the right moment to step up and support the industry’s most active forum.

“Being a corporate partner of ILC supports our commitment to give our insurance clients and their customers the best possible service through insights gained from its events and activities.

“It also represents, for me, an investment in the insurance industry and reflects our determination to be a trusted supporter of the sector we serve.

“We’ve always enjoyed attending ILC events, finding them valuable and stimulating. As a corporate partner we will be supporting their continued success and will get even more value from our participation.”

Deep expertise

ILC Chief Executive Officer Sue Whyte said: “We’re delighted to welcome Catalyst Services UK as an I Love Claims Home & Property Corporate Partner.

“In the space of 10 years, Catalyst has become a well-known and respected business within the claims space, delivering deep expertise in the services it delivers.

“We look forward to helping Brad and his team continue that journey, while making the most of their know-how to add value to the ILC community.”

Catalyst delivers a range of high quality belowground and home emergency services on behalf of a growing number of insurance providers, insurance brokers, and loss adjusters.

Impressive growth

They include: drainage investigations, repair and rehabilitation for mains and off-mains systems; water supply pipe repairs and replacement; water leak detection; subsidence investigations; and environmental services.

Catalyst combines its significant sector knowledge and process control expertise with a quality-managed, trusted network of specialist contractors that provides comprehensive national service coverage.

Catalyst’s success in attracting new insurance clients means its workforce has doubled in size in the last two years, requiring it to expand its operations into new office space at its HQ in Delph, Greater Manchester.

Charity fundraising

Founded in 2010, I Love Claims hosts conferences, exhibitions, networking events and workshops across the UK throughout the year, bringing thousands of insurance industry professionals together to learn, discuss and share ideas.

Its free newsletter is sent to more than 8,000 people working in the claims industry every week.

Since 2015, it has also worked with its stakeholders to raise over £1.3million for the Rainbow Trust, which supports families who have a child with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.
