Agrical merges with international loss adjusters

Tadcaster-based Agrical has announced that it has merged with leading international loss adjusters, McLarens.

Now trading as Agrical, a McLarens Company, the business will continue to operate independently but now as a fully owned entity within the McLarens group.

The move elevates McLarens to become the largest UK niche commercial loss adjusting business, in addition to creating a significant platform for expansion into the agriculture and related markets across McLarens’ global footprint.

Since formation in 2002 Agrical has had a core focus on agricultural claims but has since expanded into complementary markets including farming, estates, commercial leisure, renewable energy and high net worth with 50 staff across 22 UK locations.

Mike Collins, Agrical chief executive, said: “There are many similarities between Agrical and McLarens in style, structure and ethos. Like McLarens, we have built our reputation on traditional specialist loss adjusting.

“I am delighted that we will be joining a strong team at McLarens. Our client offering will be enhanced by having access to McLarens’ global network and broad range of expertise, and we will continue to be second to none in our chosen field.”

Trevor Latimer, McLarens’ managing director, said: “Agrical operate a traditional practitioner led model, as do we, focusing on technical loss adjusting, in a very distinct market with a very savvy and loyal client base. We are thrilled to be merging with such a well respected and renowned firm. “
