MCLARENS EXTENDS AFFILIATE NETWORK WITH NEW PARTNERSHIPS IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS AND GEORGIA
Global claims services provider strengthens coverage in two territories through alliances with Quantum Adjusting and BE Group
LONDON – APRIL 2026: McLarens, a leading global claims services provider, has established new affiliate partnerships with Quantum Adjusting Ltd in the Channel Islands and BE Group LLC in Georgia. The two agreements reflect McLarens’ continued commitment to building a network of trusted partners in territories where local knowledge and on-the-ground expertise support the delivery of outstanding client service.
Quantum Adjusting Ltd is an independent loss adjusting business based in Guernsey, operated by Josh Smith FCILA. Josh brings over 20 years of expertise across the insurance industry, combined with deep knowledge of the Channel Islands’ insurance landscape, regulatory environment and market practices. The firm specialises in all types of insurance claims. The Channel Islands have long been a territory served by McLarens, and this partnership offers local and international clients access to a dedicated expert who understands the nuances of the local market.
Josh Smith, Managing Director, Quantum Adjusting Ltd, said: “I am delighted to enter into this partnership with McLarens. Their global reach, technical expertise and values align closely with our approach to claims management, and I look forward to delivering an exceptional service to clients across the Channel Islands, supported by one of the world’s leading claims services businesses.”
BE Group LLC is a loss adjusting business based in Tbilisi, Georgia, co-founded by Zuka Chkoidze and Giorgi Barbakadze. The partnership with BE Group marks an important step in McLarens’ strategy to extend its affiliate footprint in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region, an area of growing demand, particularly as McLarens continues to develop its specialist service lines, including marine. BE Group brings local market knowledge and professional expertise that will enable McLarens to respond effectively to claims in the region.
Zuka Chkoidze, Co-Founder, BE Group LLC, said: “We are very pleased to be partnering with McLarens. This alliance gives our clients access to world-class claims expertise, and we look forward to building a strong and long-lasting relationship.”
Quantum Adjusting and BE Group will benefit from access to McLarens’ global footprint and broader network of independently operated specialist businesses, including forensic, environmental and construction consultancy. This allows clients in both territories to access a wide range of expertise when the complexity of a claim demands it.
Steven Wallace, Managing Director – EMEA, McLarens, commented: “These two partnerships illustrate exactly how we look to grow our affiliate network – by identifying the right partners in territories where local knowledge, technical capability and shared values make a real difference to clients. We are delighted to welcome both to the McLarens affiliate network.”
