CLAIMS MANAGEMENT specialist Plantec Holdings is continuing to grow despite the much publicised recession and has recently leased a new office premises nearby to its Southport head quarters to house its accident investigation arm First Legal Support.

A national leader and innovator in accident investigation services, First Legal Support has relocated to the new office building on High Park Place, not far from Plantec Holdings’ Bispham Road main building.

With Plantec Holdings winning praise for its ethical approach to accident claims management, it is attracting new business and in the last 12-months has grown by nearly 50 per cent with staff levels now at over 150, making it one of the larger employers in Southport.

Plantec Holdings Managing Director Lee Evans said: “Our unique, proactive and customer service led approach to managing accident claims on behalf of brokers and insurers is being recognised by our clients and Plantec Holdings is growing quickly to match demand.

“By placing the wholly owned subsidiary First Legal in a new office it will strengthen our accident investigation services and give Plantec Holdings much needed space for expansion in the current headquarters.

“We find Southport as an ideal base for our operations with the workforce boasting excellent skill sets and willingness to develop and advance themselves. We expect there will be more expansion for the business here and at our Birmingham repair centre soon.”
