Bank funding to drive growth at Rossendale-based Imperial Consultants

Claims validation service provider Imperial Consultants Ltd (ICL) has signed a new funding deal with Allied Irish Bank (GB).

Lancashire-based ICL will use the cash to support its growth plans, which focus on product development, streamlining services and expanding the senior management team.

The company said a large portion of the growth achieved since its inception in 1988 has come from securing contracts for claims previously handled exclusively by loss adjustors.

ICL employs more than 50 people at its service centre in Rossendale, where it provides claims validation services for large UK insurers and smaller firms.

Kevin Skillin, chairman at ICL, said: “We are thrilled with the new funding deal that we have secured with Allied Irish Bank (GB).

“The funding will enable us to continue to focus on growth, supporting us through tendering processes and assisting us to develop products which provide greater efficiencies to our service and enable us to become more agile for our clientele and customers alike.”

Speaking further, Kevin said ICL has developed strong ties with Allied Irish Bank relationship managers Simon King and Danny Pennington, adding: “I am looking forward to working together and strengthening our relationship in the future.”

Simon King commented: “I was impressed by the unity, energy and expertise of the management team at ICL and I am pleased that we have been able to support Kevin and the team.

“Imperial have a huge wealth of experience in the industry and have developed a real niche in the market, creating innovative products which benefit Insurers and the end consumer alike.”

He added: “Their plans to continue to develop the company are very impressive and we are excited to be a part of ICL’s progression.”
