Evolution Claims, which has built its reputation by using tech to handle claims for the UK’s top insurance brands, has recruited Jim Pittman to oversee loss adjusting and surveying for more complex claims.
Prior to joining Evolution Claims, which delivers industry leading customer experience in claims management and building repairs for leading insurance brands, Jim has had extensive experience of the insurance and claims sector.
His career has included holding the role of Claims Director for Halifax Bank as well as launching and growing Stream Claim Services, where he was UK Managing Director.
More recently Jim returned to the front line dealing with claims in the Middle East including the Beirut explosion in 2020 and property claims in the UK.
Jim said he was excited to join Evolution Claims. He said: “Evolution Claims has already established a reputation for using technology to disrupt the established market sectors and I believe there is a great opportunity to deliver high levels of technical expertise in a new cost effective way.
“I have known Managing Director Russell Crewe for a long time, having previously worked together to deliver innovative claims services.
“As a property claims expert it is great to see how much is already in place, with a team around me who are full of enthusiasm to take the business forward.”
Russell Crewe said: “We are delighted to appoint Jim to his new role with Evolution Claims where I am sure he will have a positive impact as we grow the business and continue to deliver new standards of service for customers.”
The new appointment is the latest step forward for Evolution Claims. Privately owned since its 2016 launch, the company has a reputation for delivering transparent services for insurers by operating a fixed fee model whereby charges remain the same regardless of the repair value.
The business has focussed on people development by recruiting a dedicated Talent Development Manager and delivering management training for nine staff to enhance their skills.
To boost engagement for its growing workforce the national firm, headquartered in Oldbury, joined forces with Ambition HR, led by experienced people strategy and development specialist Liz Cullis.
