Liability adjuster and claims manager The Quest Partnership has hired four new staff following the securing of a clutch of new contracts.

The Maidstone-based firm has clinched deals with the likes of reinisurer Klapton to handle its claims across Africa and Asia, as well as being appointed by Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance (Europe) to investigate liability claims.

It has also signed an agreement with Metroline, which provides buses for Transport for London.

Following that success, Ed Gooda has been appointed director with responsibility for claims and risk management. He has over 30 years experience in the sector and sits on the Fellowship Assessment Board of the Chartered Insurance Institute. David Miles, former managing director of Core Adjusters, joins as liability and reinsurance claims consultant bringing 40 years of experience to the firm.

The firm has also bolstered its back office operation with the appointment of Tricia Stanton as financial controller and James Bennett as claims administrator.

Peter Mann, CEO of The Quest Partnership, said “These are key appointments who will play an important role in handling instructions for our growing number of national and international clients. The Quest Partnership continues to prosper, so much so that we have not had to furlough any of our staff – a fact, of which, I am extremely proud.

“These are exciting times as we approach our 30th year in business and I am delighted to have attracted such high quality people to join us.”
