Equus Claims Management, a company specialising in equine insurance, has secured Lloyd’s Delegated Claims Administrator (DCA) status.
The accreditation follows sponsorship from insurance group Canopius.
The company, led by co-founders Mark Pilkington and David Nolan, is known for its expertise in the equine field, particularly within bloodstock, sports and recreational horse industries.
Equus is also involved in adjusting claims for several UK equestrian associations.
Pilkington and Nolan commented: “Becoming a Lloyd’s DCA is testament to our relationship with the Canopius team and shall only add to Equus’ ability to be on-hand for clients in their hour of need.”
Equus services include first notification of loss, third party administration, and claim handling from initiation to resolution.
The company also offers investigative services and facilitates direct access to external equine experts for its clients.
Canopius Equine & Livestock head Jeremy Chappell said: “Having had the pleasure of working with Dave and Mark for several years, we are delighted to help facilitate Equus’ path to Lloyd’s DCA status whilst providing additional reassurance to our customer base in the event of an accident.”
In April, Canopius engaged Global Parametrics, a CelsiusPro company, as a coverholder for its Lloyd’s Syndicate 4444.
Global Parametrics has entered into a binding authority agreement, enabling it to underwrite insurance products with an initial emphasis on natural disaster perils such as tropical cyclones, earthquakes, floods and excess rainfall.
It is expected to contribute to the development of Canopius' portfolio in the area of natural catastrophe risks.
