Our Future & The Next Generation
Loss adjusting began in the lively 17th-century London scene, where merchants and Insurers gathered at Lloyd’s Coffee House to swap stories and share risks. When ships sank or cargo went missing, disputes over claims sparked the need for a savvy expertwho could step in and settle matters fairly – enter the first loss adjusters! These early “damage detectives” quickly found their skills in demand for all kinds of claims, from fiery blazes to sneaky thefts, shaping the profession into the specialized field we know today.
MI Adjusting is a leading firm of independent liability adjusters. We are appointed by many of the UK’s leading Insurers, being large enough to handle 100 FTSE companies, yet small enough to provide a personalised and tailored service to all our Clients.
After 20+ years of independent trading MI Adjusting is still inspiring the next generation of Loss Adjusters by championing diversity, igniting passion, and setting the standards for professionalism and all with a wealth of stories to share.
