Hove-based specialist insurance broker Quality Care Group (QCG) is celebrating national success after winning ‘Claims Mitigation Strategy of the Year’ at the prestigious Insurance Times Claims Excellence Awards 2025.

The awards, which recognise the very best in the UK’s insurance claims sector, took place in London on Thursday 22nd May, with QCG triumphing against leading national firms. Their award-winning strategy focuses on helping care providers across the country reduce risk and avoid claims – through tailored audits, digital resources, and sector-specific guidance.

Managing Director Darren Pollard, who founded the business in Sussex, said:

“We are thrilled to win such a respected industry award. This is not just a win for our team but for our clients in the care sector who trust us to protect what matters most. Our approach is about preventing problems before they happen – and this award proves that strategy is working.”

The win marks the second national trophy for the Hove firm this year, having already picked up ‘Commercial Lines Specialist Broker of the Year’ at the National Insurance Awards in March.

QCG’s in-house claims team – rare in the care insurance sector – was also a finalist in two additional categories: Claims Team of the Year and Excellence in Customer Care. The team supports both care-related and general insurance claims, and is made up of specialists who handle everything in-house, rather than referring customers to insurers, offering a more hands-on, client-centred experience.

Jade Concannon, QCG’s Risk and Claims Manager, added:

“This award reflects the care and detail we put into every client relationship. From care home groups to domiciliary providers, our job is to help them feel supported and secure – and we’re proud to do that every single day.”

Quality Care Group continues to support clients across the UK from its base in Sussex, combining sector knowledge with practical insurance solutions for one of the most vital industries in society.
