Mills & Reeve has announced their acquisition of SiS, a renowned claims handling business led by Neil McManus and Richard Bedford.
This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone for Mills & Reeve, enabling the firm to offer comprehensive claims handling services to its clients, a long-anticipated expansion to their insurance services.
A key highlight of the acquisition is that Neil McManus and Richard Bedford will continue to run SiS as an independent business under the Mills & Reeve umbrella, ensuring continuity and leveraging their extensive experience. This allows Mills & Reeve to offer clients a dedicated claims handling service, supported by credible and experienced practitioners. SiS will benefit from increased scalability and resources, enhancing their ability to serve clients more effectively.
Niall Innes, partner at Mills & Reeve says: “For years, our insurance team has recognised the need to provide claims handling services to its clients. The acquisition of SiS, a respected entity in the claims handling industry, opens new avenues for Mills & Reeve to deliver these services with the expertise and credibility that our clients expect.
“Neil and Richard have been good friends of the firm for years and it’s great to now welcome them as part of the Mills & Reeve family.”
Richard Bedford, director at SiS Claims says: "Joining forces with Mills & Reeve is an exciting opportunity for SiS. We have always valued our relationship with Mills & Reeve, and this acquisition allows us to expand our claims handling capability and offer even better services to existing and new clients. We look forward to working closely with the Mills & Reeve team."
