As part of its’ ongoing commitment to training and qualifications for its staff, The Forshaw Group is proud to announce that two more of its technicians have recently enjoyed success. Joe Chellew and Ashleigh O’Callaghan have both passed their BDMA Claims Technician exams. This is testament to their hard work and dedication, as part of The Forshaw Group’s Drying & Restoration team, and the skills they have learned – and continue to strengthen – via this qualification.
The BDMA, or the British Damage Management Association, is an important industry body that links the UK’s insurance sector with the companies that provide recovery and restoration services. Created in 1999, the BDMA ensures that there are uniform standards of care and codes of practice across the industry, which are further underpinned by technical and corporate training. It also deals with best-practice in related disciplines that affect staff on a daily basis, such as insurers and loss adjusters.
The Claims Technician accreditation is designed for those who work with property claims. It caters for technicians who are not directly employed by an insurance or adjusting company, but who regularly interact with professional damage management practitioners and the insurance sector. Successful graduates from the course must have demonstrated a wide variety of skills, including awareness of insurance property claims processes, and also have experience of the damage management industry.
Liam Hanlon, managing director at The Forshaw Group, is very proud of his staff’s achievements: “We are delighted to add to further names to the list of The Forshaw Group’s technicians that have completed the BDMA Claims Technician exams and achieved success. Joe and Ashleigh have worked hard and deserve their success”.
